1. Turn off all lights when you leave the room.
2. Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs which use up to 66 per cent less energy and last up to eight times longer.
3. Use dimmers with your incandescent light bulbs.
4. Use occupancy and motion sensors with your incandescent light bulbs.
5. Use holiday light emitting diode (LED) strings which use 95 per cent less electricity and last 10 times longer.
6. Outside, use a motion- or light-sensing control on lights.
