Lighting is one of the major electricity consumers in a typical home.
By using light more efficiently, you can usually get by with lower wattage bulbs. Keep in mind that bulb wattage refers to the amount of electricity that a bulb uses, not the amount of light that it produces. Higher wattage bulbs usually produce more light, but not always. When reading or using task lighting, make sure that the light is over your head or behind you to one side. It is important that you cannot see the bright bulb, even from the corner of your eye.
