- Replace old incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient bulbs
- Use task lighting; instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where you need it. For example, use fluorescent under-cabinet lighting for kitchen sinks and countertops under cabinets.
- Keep curtains or shades open to use daylight instead of turning on lights
- Install motion or occupancy sensors to turn on during certain times of day or motion and automatically turn off.
