Switch to energy efficient light bulbs
Change your light bulbs to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). I know everyone says this but not enough people are doing it. Here’s why it’s important: CFLs use two-thirds less electricity and last 10 times longer than standard light bulbs.
Yes, they’re a little pricier than standard bulbs, but they last much longer and will save you money on your electric bill over time. You don’t need to change them all at once - that would be wasteful. Start with buying a few and when a light goes out, replace it with a CFL bulb – eventually your whole house will be converted.
