Lighting choices affect comfort, appearance, and energy use. The right plan can help you make rooms more functional while reducing unnecessary consumption.

Choose efficient bulbs

LED lighting generally uses less electricity and lasts longer than traditional incandescent bulbs. Check brightness, color temperature, and compatibility before replacing bulbs.

Use task lighting

Light the areas where you work, read, or prepare food instead of relying on bright overhead lighting everywhere.

Add dimmers and controls

Compatible dimmers, timers, and occupancy sensors can help reduce wasted lighting, when installed and configured correctly.

Make the most of daylight

Arrange workspaces to use natural light where practical, while managing glare and heat.

Plan before upgrading

A lighting assessment can help identify suitable fixtures, circuits, and controls for your space.
