Savings should start on lighting, as we tend to forget this. Even the replacement of the CFL's with LED lights makes a huge saving.
How ever do be careful when doing the replacement, ensure that the LED light you have chosen will give you the amount of light you want.
There is a danger in just looking at the LED "Wattage", this is NOT an indicator one should use for the verification of the amount of light you are going to get.
Good quality LEDs have a very high
Lumens to
wattage ration. Currently top of the range LED's give you over 120 Lumens per watt on cool white, and 100 Lumens per watt on warm white range.
The cheap LEDs range between 50 an 70 Lumens per watt, leaving much to be desired by unsuspecting customers. Whilst there is a saving on replacing the CFLs with LEDs and the lower efficient LEDs require double the number of lamps to achieve a similar Lumens, the savings are still impressive.
