In these tough economic times,many home owners are putting off costly improvement projects.But there are still some projects you can take on yourself, and this includes installing light saving bulbs throughout your home. This will not be too expensive and will decrease your utility bills and conserve energy over the long run. Plus, any energy upgrades you do will add to the value of your home.

One of the favorite places homeowners like to change and redecorate is the kitchen.While new cabinets may be impractical now, you can install light saving bulbs to brighten up your cooking and eating areas. Install the energy efficient bulbs in your ceiling fixtures and under cabinets to light work spaces.

The bathroom is another popular place to change.If you have a vanity light or light strips around your mirror, look for decorative light saving bulbs that are designed for these fixtures. They are usually smaller and low watt, and will look great while saving money. And if you have an overhead light, replace the old bulb with an energy saving bulb.

Our bedrooms are our special places,where we can relax and unwind.Maybe you have a dimmer light fixture to help create a soft mood. You can find light saving bulbs especially for dimmers and this will help save energy and costs. Remember to install the new bulbs in any bedside lamps and closets.

In our family rooms and dens we gather and enjoy each others company. Here is where we talk the most and play games, and just have fun. Install light saving bulbs in all the fixtures and if you have any three-way lamps be sure to look for the bulbs specifically designed for these.

You may have decorative touches throughout you home,like a chandelier in a foyer or track lighting to highlight a photo display. You’ll be happy to know that there are light saving bulbs for these fixtures too. In fact, there is probably an energy saving bulb available for any need you have.

Before you finish,take a look outside.Do you use lighting along a garden path or use lights on a garage? Then be sure to update these as well. There are kinds of light saving bulb that can be used in outdoor applications, but be sure to check the package for temperature ranges. Extreme climates can damage some bulbs and they will not work as well.
