Save
The Watts?You may not rush out and put a bumper sticker on your car after reading this. But using lighting, TV's, stereos and radios responsibly can save money. Which is always a rather worthy cause. |

| 23. Compact fluorescent lamps can replace bulbs in most table lamps and will save up to 75 percent in lighting energy, produce more light and last up to 10 times longer. Yippee. | ||
| 24. For more light, use one large bulb rather than several small ones. A 100-watt bulb produces more light with less energy than two 60-watt bulbs. We'll pause while you multiply. | ||
| 25. Tungsten-halogen incandescent bulbs cut lighting costs by 15 percent. Practice the name a few times before asking for them in stores. | ||
| 26. Use low-watt bulbs where lighting is not critical. | ||
| 27. Dimmer switches are actually smarter. | ||
| 28. Place floor lamps and hanging lamps in corners. The reflection off the walls will give you more light. | ||
| 29. Take advantage of the daylight. This is not an endorsement for playing hooky. | ||
| 30. Turn off outdoor lighting during the day. Try timer switches or photoelectric controls if the finger method is a bother. | ||
| 31. Turn off all lights, TV's, stereos and radios if no one will be in the room. | ||
