Lighting
- Turn off unnecessary lights.
- Make the most out of natural lighting.
- Replace all light globes with energy efficient ones.
- Where possible install LED lighting, which last 80 times longer than incandescent globes and will save at least 85 percent of electricity use.
- Use the lowest wattage globe wherever possible.
- Keep lights and light fittings clean and free from dust. Dust build-up can reduce light output by up to 50 percent.
- Avoid down lights. Apart from using more energy, they also contribute to heat loss through the roof.
- Use timer controls or sensors to switch lights off automatically.
- Paint walls in light colours to reduce the amount of lighting needed.
