Are you still using the inefficient light bulbs Thomas Edison invented over a century ago?
A new video series can answer your lighting questions so you don't get left in the dark.
In six videos, the Alliance to Save Energy's Monique O'Grady discusses energy-efficient lighting options and teaches you how to read the new labels.
Light Bulb Check List Each video enlightens consumers on an important fact about shopping for energy-saving lighting:
Choose lumens – not watts – when you go to the store, Look at the label to find out how much energy the bulb is using, Find innovative options to replace bulbs in unconventional fixtures, Use CFLs instead of traditional incandescents for up to 75% savings, Try halogen incandescents if you are hesitant about switching technologies and Buy LEDs to see the most energy savings in your home.
