Lighting Costs typically account for about 9% of your Yearly Electrical Costs.
We Recommend the Following Easy and Inexpensive ways to reduce this part of your bill:
Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs - These Bulbs use 75% less Electricity to operate than a conventional bulb. IE - At 20 Cents per Kilowatt hour a normal 100 Watt Incandescent bulb costs 2 cents an hour to use. A comparable CFL uses 25 Watts - about 1/2 cent per hour. The Technology of these Bulbs has improved greatly in the past few years and are available for nearly every application - including Dimmable. The Price has come down as well. These bulbs also last 7-10 times longer than conventional bulbs. TNT carries a full line of CFL's at prices comparable to what you would pay at a Home Improvement Store. http://www.energystar.gov
