Tip 10 – Change bulbs and use less of them

Blog post by Madison and Owen

Use energy-saving light bulbs that can last up to ten times longer than a normal bulb and use significantly less energy. A single 20 to 25 watt energy saving bulb provides as much light as a 100 watt ordinary bulb.

Install motion sensors on external lights.

Use only one bulb for light fittings with more than one light bulb or replace additional bulbs with a lower wattage version.

Recently, high powered LED bulbs have become more affordable.  A great place to buy them is Costco.  You can buy an LED which is equivalent to a 40 watt incandescent for about $7.  Our families have bought a bunch of LED bulbs and are now saving energy and the environment.

  1. Hi it's Nathan this looks like a good idea I will ask my mom and dad if the can change a few light bulbs that are not led, cfl, etc. So that we can use better light bulbs and less energy. Sorry for the other comment I accidently screwed up and pushed publish. lol
