Energy Efficient Lighting
Energy efficient lighting is the use of lighting that saves energy, such as CFL and LED (light-emitting diode) fixtures, while still boosting light levels versus the more conventional high intensity discharge fixtures. We also explore other lighting equipment, such as dimmers and preset light control software, which drive energy efficiency. Articles also explore energy efficient lighting and lighting retrofits.
