Lighting your home invariably involves energy usage – but with the right approach, you can drastically minimise the amount of energy you use, cutting both your power bills and your carbon footprint.
The best way to do this by far is to ensure that you make the best use possible of available daylight. You can also make a big impact by choosing the right energy-efficient globes for the right types of situations, and by controlling your energy usage with dimmers and timers.
A super-efficient home may even incorporate on a solar electricity setup – literally lighting the home with sunlight 24 hours a day.
