The basic aim of conservation of electricity is to bring down electricity cost. You will be surprised to know that by simple house keeping measures you can bring down your electricity bills by 25 – 30%.
Replace your electricity-guzzling ordinary bulbs with tube lights and CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) as CFLs use 75% less electricity than the ordinary bulbs.
Use natural Sun-light as and when available.
Use electronic chokes and regulators instead of conventional copper chokes.
De-dust lighting fixtures as dirty tube lights and bulbs absorb 50% of the light.
Use task lighting which focuses lights where it is needed instead of lighting an entire room.
A 15 Watt compact fluorescent bulb produces the same amount of light as 60 watt incandescent bulb.
Use automatic devices like infrared sensors, motion sensors, automatic timers, dimmers and solar cells to switch on / off lighting circuits.
90% of energy consumed by an ordinary bulb is given off as heat rather than visible light.
