Lighting CFL Light Bulb

Energy for lighting accounts for about 11 percent of your electric bill. Examine the wattage size of the light bulbs in your house. You may have 100-watt (or larger) bulbs where 60 or 75 watts would do. Switch to compact fluorescent lamps for areas where lights are on for hours at a time.
