Lighting Design
Regardless of the type of energy-saving bulb you use, you should evaluate where light is needed. Task lighting under kitchen cabinets and over desks, craft tables, and workbenches will give you the light you need so that you don’t have to illuminate the entire room. In the family room, where you may need more light on occasion, install multiple fixtures on separate circuits. This will give you more control over how much light you use.

You also can bolster your lighting efficiency just by dusting off lamps and reflectors and casting a critical eye to each room’s color palette. Lighting efficiency increases when walls, ceilings, floors, and furniture are lighter and reflect the light. Furthermore, placing lamps in corners will reflect light from two wall surfaces, thereby producing more usable light.
