There’s plenty of lighting technology to make your home environmentally friendly that can help you save money.

By using spiral fluorescent lights you can save a significant amount of money on your electric bill.

The new bulbs use less energy significantly reducing the amount of carbon dioxide produced.

The new spiral fluorescents also come in all kinds of shapes and sizes.

They’re made to fit almost any fixture.

They’re more expensive than traditional bulbs, but with their longevity they should cost you less in the long run.

Another energy saving idea is adding occupancy sensors to your home.

The sensors are designed to turn lights off automatically in rooms with inactivity.

If sensors aren’t in your budget, a simple timer could also save you money and energy.
