Lighting accounts for about 10% of the electricity use in the average U.S. home. If you are still using energy intensive incandescent or halogen bulbs, upgrade to energy saving LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), which are inexpensive, last a lot longer, and give excellent light. LED lighting comes in a wide variety of styles, shapes, and sizes for many uses, including both indoor and outdoor lighting. Some are compatible with dimmers, motion detectors, and daylight sensors. If you replace old light bulbs with LEDs ($1 – $2 each), you can save $100 over the life of the bulb.
