In our homes, lighting costs represent around 15% of the electricity bill. In most cases, a considerable part of the costs can be avoided.
One of the first things to do is use natural light whenever possible. Whenever the characteristics of the facilities allow it, choose to take advantage of natural light from the sun. This light, in addition to not bringing economic burden, creates a healthier environment.
Which lamp to choose? There are four main types of lamps for domestic use, (halogen, incandescent, fluorescent, and LED lamps) of which the most economical are undoubtedly fluorescent and compact fluorescent. These lamps emit the same light as a conventional incandescent lamp, using 80% less energy. But in my home, I use LED lamps which are particularly economical and environmentally friendly.
Lastly, turn off the lights whenever you don't need them.

l have realized that, most people waste a lot of energy by being recklessly in using the electricity for instance. Some people tend to leave the security light on on day time.

[SHAHID987]

In our home or there are some different concept here, or what I observed by regular meter reading, as the electricity consumption is much more higher when we use our fans rather than when we use lights. So our main focus remain on ceiling fans.

Some people tend to leave the security light on on day time.

For people who like to leave a security light all day or night, a good solution is a solar light, I have them in my garden, they cost nothing to produce energy.

[Presh]

Some people fail to ever turn off security lights. They actually think it doesn't matter but it saps energy and adds up to the electricity bill. Security lights are just for when it is dark.

[King Belieal]

Use lights that are specific for a particular task. For instance, buy a reading light that lights up just your reading spot in an efficient way than using lights that illuminate a whole large room. This consumes more energy.

It is wise to turn off your light when not in use no matter the kind of energy saver bulb you use. The little consumption saved if you are using an ultra energy saving bulb is worth it.

[Kalayla]

My dad always scolds us for ever keeping a light bulb on. Don't know it is all about costs savings though. Would practice this every day.

[Uty Theo]

We often underestimate the electricity consumption of lighting points. If we can monitor our meter, we would know how much we save from turning off lighting points.n

Security lights are just for when it is dark.

I agree, it makes no sense to have a security light during the day and that is why people can go for solar lights, they turn on automatically when it is dark and do almost the same effect as any other lamp.

The most important thing is to turn off the lights when not in use so that you can save energy and also save money

That is the most basic thing but unfortunately a lot of people still forget to turn off the lights when they aren't using it.

[augusta]

Yeah we should always keep the light off when not in use to save energy and bills

[Fidelia]

Yeah we should always keep the light off when not in use to save energy and bills

I don't understand how difficult this is to just do and save cost. Negligence or ignorance could be the culprit here

[JASPREET]

We always do that and keep doing this from years now and are able to save on our light bill

[Nsikan]

Use of natural light would save you so much of electricity bills. When once the sun is set, turn off all electricity powered lights.

[JASPREET]

These are basic things that we need to follow all the time to save money

[Uty Theo]

As much as possible, find a way to minimize your electricity bills. Natural light lasts for about 10 hours daily. 10 hours of not turning on any light bulb can save so much energy expenses.
