- Use timers or lights with photo cells to automatically turn off outdoor lights when daylight breaks, and motion sensors to turn lights off when a room is not in use.
- Use task lighting (e.g., a desk lamp) to concentrate smaller amounts of light where you really need it.
- Try fluorescent light bulbs, which are much more energy efficient than standard bulbs, last a lot longer, and don’t product heat.
- Open your blinds during the day to take advantage of the sun’s natural warmth.
