Replace any incandescent bulbs with CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) or LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), especially where lights are on for long periods
Use the lowest wattage bulb required to meet the room’s lighting needs
Turn off all lights in unoccupied rooms
Turn outside lights off when you’re not using them
Consider using timers and sensors for indoor and outdoor lights
Regularly dust your low energy light bulbs and fittings
