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.
