Lighting Tips
The
U.S. spends about one-quarter of its
electricity on lighting at a cost of more than $37 billion annually. By making
improvements to your lighting, you are guaranteed to cut your energy bills. With
about 11% of a homes energy bill going to lighting, using new lighting
technologies can reduce lighting energy use in your home between 50% and 75%.
