Find Substitutes For Energy-Wasting Lamps and Fixtures
 Turn off or turn down room lights and use area lighting that's just right for the things you do most often. For example, use a table lamp instead of an overhead light when reading at a desk.
Use a nightlight to light hallways where you don't need the full overhead light. Be sure to turn the nightlight off during the day.
Halogen torchieres have been very popular because they are inexpensive and are bright enough to light an entire room. Unfortunately they aren't very energy smart. If you have halogen torchieres, replace them with compact fluorescent torchieres. They produce more light for 70 percent less energy. Even if the halogen torchiere is cheap to take home, it's expensive to use, so you can save money over time by buying a fluorescent torchiere instead.
