Energy Efficiency
Replace your outdated incandescent, halogen, or other, light bulbs with Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs). LED’s are 75% more efficient than their incandescent counterparts and last about 25 times as long! CFL’s, while also more efficient than incandescent bulbs (though not nearly as efficient as LEDs), contain trace amounts of mercury (a toxic substance), so, when faced with an LED vs. a CFL, we recommend going with the LED. Better yet, use natural light whenever possible!
