Energy-efficient lighting helps lower electricity bills and carbon dioxide

emissions, all without reducing the quality of light in our homes. If you

carbon dioxide emissions by up to 40kg a year.

What else can I do to reduce my lighting bill?

​

- Always turn lights off when leaving a room. The quickest way to start saving is just remembering to turn lights off when you don’t need them.

​

 

- The typical household could save almost £14 a year just by switching off the lights as you leave the room.

 

 

- Be aware of how many lights you have on in a room. If you have the main light on, do you need the lamp on too?

 

 

- Arrange light switches so it is easy to turn them off, for example, place switches for rooms at the door.

 

 

- Use sensors or timers on external lights, so they are only on when they need to be

 

 

- Consider using transparent shades or fittings, as a dark lampshade can absorb some of the light a bulb emits.

 

 

- Ensure that you regularly clean any lamp shades or fittings to increase the impact of the light.
