Lighting Upgrades
Lighting is often one of the most overlooked energy efficient upgrades available. The traditional incandescent bulb diverts 90% of the energy used towards heating and only 10% towards lighting. Short of lighting a campfire in your living room, these are about the most inefficient forms of lighting out there.
While CFL’s (compact fluorescent lights) have been a huge leap forward in the lighting efficiency area, they have been far from perfect for the residential customer. In commercial settings these have faired much better. Thankfully, we have seen much improvement in LED technology. North Carolina’s very own CREE, located here in the Research Triangle Park, have developed some of the best LED lighting products for both commercial and residential applications. Lighting retrofits can often pay for themselves within the first few years both in terms of lower maintenance costs with longer lifespans and in terms of higher energy savings.
