  1. Energy Efficient Lighting Part of North Carolina Cooperative Extension E-Conservation Home Energy Management Series

  2. Looks complicated… … but with a few tips, you can learn how to identify the correct bulb for each need in your house and you can save money!

  3. Phase In Schedule

  4. What does all of this mean to ME?!

  5. EISA is changing the way we shop forlight bulbs

  6. Lighting Terms • Lumen • The unit of measure describing the quantity of light emitted from a source of light, for example, a light bulb (lamp). • Watt • A unit of power denoting the rate at which electricity is used.

  7. Lumens… the new way to shop for bulbs http://energy.gov/public-services/homes/saving-electricity/lighting

  8. EISA: New Labels

  9. Lighting Choices: Energy Saving Incandescents • Energy saving incandescent light bulbs • Use about 25% less energy than traditional incandescents • Similar life span, but may last up to 3 times longer • Available in wide range of shapes and colors • Can be used with dimmers • Also called “halogen” incandescents

  10. Lighting Choices: CFL’s ENERGY STAR-qualified CFL’s use about 75% less energy and last 10 times longer than comparable traditional incandescent bulbs Available in range of colors including warm tones

  11. Lighting Choices:LED • ENERGY STAR qualified LEDs use 75-80% less energy and last 25 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs • More expensive, however cheaper to operate and last longer

  12. You are bound to have questions…. http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/frequently-asked-questions-lighting-choices-save-you-money

  14. Warmvs. Cool The color wheel • Basic “map” for color theory • A circular arrangement of the spectrum Warm colors feel “cozier” and welcoming Cool colors evoke a more tranquil mood www.krylon.com/color/theory/

  15. Color Rendition Fluorescent light does not have to be “cold”

  16. Remember Key Points: • Shop for lumens, not for watts • All lighting, including incandescent, will become more energy efficient • Lighting efficiency standards will be phased in over time • Color rendition is affected by lighting, and lighting comes in various temperatures/color
