ENERGY STAR Lighting: Save Money and Energy
Saving on your monthly electrical bill while reducing your energy consumption has never been easier, thanks to ENERGY STAR lighting. Selecting the right lighting fixtures, light bulbs and ceiling fans can decrease your impact on the environment—and your home lighting's impact on your wallet.
ENERGY STAR Lighting Fixtures
Maximize your energy savings with a wide array of lighting fixtures designed to reduce energy consumption. Lighting fixtures that have earned the ENERGY STAR seal use 25% less energy than traditional lighting, distribute light more efficiently and evenly than standard fixtures and carry a two-year warranty.
With ENERGY STAR lighting fixtures available in every conceivable style and design, there's no need to sacrifice style for energy savings. Many of today's most sought-after brands offer lighting fixtures that meet ENERGY STAR standards for energy efficiency.
Fluorescent Lighting
Though commonly found in commercial lighting systems, fluorescent (or "gas discharge") lighting has come a long way. Always known for their efficiency and low cost, modern fluorescent lighting is available in warmer colors similar to traditional incandescent lighting. In addition, fluorescents run cooler than incandescent bulbs, making them a safe, affordable and ecologically friendly lighting choice.
Dimmer Controlled
Controlling lighting through a dimmer is a great way to save money on your electric bill, and increase the life of most bulbs. Typically solid-state devices, dimmers switch lights off and on approximately 120 times per second, creating the perception of relative brightness. By being "on" less often than non-dimmed lighting, dimmer-controlled lights use less electricity. And dimming lights by 25%, for example, will extend the life of the typical bulb by four times.
Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs
Replacing energy-wasting incandescent bulbs with ENERGY STAR CFL'S (Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs) is an easy way to extend the life of your light bulbs while enjoying significant energy savings. Just one CFL will save you $30 over the lifetime of the bulb, and cut energy consumption by 75%. They're available in different shapes and sizes to fit almost any indoor or outdoor fixture.
