Save Energy
TIPS FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION AT HOME LIGHTING 1. Make use of Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) in place of filament lamps / incandescent lamps / mercury vapour lamps. 2. A 36 / 40 Watt tubelight gives better illumination than a 60 or 100 Watt bulb consuming 40 to 60% less power only. 3. 36 Watt slim tubelights give equivalent light output as that of 40 Watt tubelights. 4. Use electronic ballasts / electronic choke against conventional electromagnetic ballasts tubelights for they consume less power. 5. A so called zero watt bulb consumes 12 to 15 Watts / hour. CFL’s are available in 5,7,9,11 watts capacities and they give better light output. 6. Lighting devices like bulb, tubelights, CFL’s etc., consume power as per their capacities. Therefore use appropriate lighting depending on the requirement. 7. Reflectors can be provided in light fittings. 8. Install energy saver in lighting circuit. 9. Install photo electric contacts / daylight switch to switch off lights. 10. Install solar energy...
