Saving on lighting is one of the biggest headaches in Colombian homes: maintenance costs, sky-high energy bills and even greater effects of climate change. That's why today we bring you some practical tips to find out how much we are really saving at home.
- The best way to save on lighting will always be to make the most of natural light. Try to use this light source for your tasks during the day and avoid blocking the spaces it can come through.
- Try to keep your rooms painted in light colors; this way light spreads much better, making your rooms brighter.
- Make the phrase "turn off the light when you leave" your daily mantra at home, so you and those who live with you learn not to leave lights on when they are no longer in use.
- Keep your light bulbs and lamps clean; this way you will avoid losing light because of dust and dirt.
- If you are reading or watching TV, we recommend lighting that suits the activity you are doing. Create relaxing, work or reading atmospheres by varying the lighting.
Putting these practical tips into practice will let you significantly lower what you pay on your energy bill and, in addition, help reduce the effects of climate change.
