Save light at home

Sometimes we leave the lights on to cheer ourselves up. But you can save a lot of energy by following a few simple guidelines:

* Use energy-saver lights. Fluorescent lights and other lights have special properties so that they use less energy. Replace all your bulbs with these.

* Turn off the lights whenever you're not using them. This means in the bathroom, bedroom, front porch, anywhere.

* Make sure your lamp and bulb provide enough light for the whole room. This way, you use only one bulb instead of several and in the long run, save yourself time as well as energy. You can keep and extra lamp for use only when needed at most.

* Install dimmers on your lights - when you want the right atmosphere, turn them down or up and save energy and frustration that way!
