We use lights for sight, decoration and security. Here are some tips for saving money and electricity in home lighting.
Fluorescent lighting is more economical than incandescent lighting.
Fluorescent lamps produce up to five times as much light for the same energy and last 10 to 15 times longer. You should select fluorescent lamps for use in kitchens, baths, workshops and laundry rooms. Wattage does not measure the amount of light - it measures the energy needed to light the bulb. The amount of light is measured in lumens. Carefully study bulb packages to get the most for your wattage.
