Bright Ways To Save (NAPSA)—When it comes to saving energy in your home,light- ing is an easy place to start, with many simple waysto save, according to Edison Electric Institute. Here are a few bright ideas that may help you become more energy efficient: Compact fluorescent bulbs last about 10 times longer than incandescents. Dust lightbulbs and fixtures regularly. e Provide task lighting over desks, tool benches and the like so you don’t have to light the whole room. e Put lamps in corners of rooms so the light will reflect off two walls. For lamps that are on more than two hours a day, use compact fluorescent bulbs—they use up to 66 percent less electricity than incandescent bulbs. A 23-watt compact fluorescent bulb can replace a 100-watt incandescent. Use dimmable incandescent bulbs wherever possible. Install photoelectric controls or timers to turn outdoor lighting off and on each day.
