Here’s a list of these “simple things.”

While many people will tell you that frequently switching your light bulbs on and off will degrade their lifespan (this is especially the case for incandescents and CFLs), doing so is still the best way to save you energy and money. Over the long run, the cost of maintaining and replacing old lights will be cheaper compared to your high utility bill. If you’re worried about frequently switching your lights on and off, consider going for LEDs, which aren’t affected by the problem.

Dimmers can make a world of difference when it comes to saving energy. Although it may seem that dimmers only provide a cool way to adjust the brightness of your lights, they actually allow you to control how much power your bulbs use.Despite the breakthroughs in lighting technology, nothing beats natural light, both in quality and efficiency. If you can afford to reposition windows in your home, go for it. A single well-placed window can illuminate the inside of your home in the same way a dozen light bulbs can. Best part is that it’s free. www.ledtubes8.com www.ledtube5.com
