Consider replacing all your inefficient light bulbs with energy efficient ones.
LEDs (light emitting diodes) use than incandescent lighting.
Efficiency Maine works with lighting manufacturers, retailers and to reduce the prices of energy-efficient lighting products statewide. You can find these products at your local retailer.
Choose the lighting that鈥檚 best for you.
Tips for Use:
Use a desk lamp instead of overhead lighting, as most overhead lights use multiple bulbs.
Use task lighting to focus light where it is needed rather than light an entire room.
In areas of the office or home that receive low light, paint rooms in light colors or use curtains to reflect as much free light as possible.
Use mini-florescent or LED nightlights in bathrooms and halls.
Turn off any unnecessary lights and use natural light whenever possible.
Designate a 鈥渓ast to leave鈥 policy in your dorm or office if lights are often left on in an empty room.
Install occupancy sensors indoors and motion sensors outdoors.
