ENERGY STAR Lighting

ENERGY STAR-certified lighting is incredibly eco-friendly - providing bright, warm light, while using about 75% less energy than standard lighting sources, producing 75% less heat, and lasting up to 10 times longer. This results in a considerable savings in your energy bill, and a significant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2006 alone, ENERGY STAR users saved enough gas emissions to total 25 million cars, and $14 billion on their utility bills. In addition, ENERGY STAR bulbs are certified to last at least 10,000 hours (about seven years of regular use), making them extremely cost-effective.

With all the benefits of using ENERGY STAR-certified lighting, you can easily see why it's becoming the norm in the marketplace. What most people don't realize is that they can use ENERGY STAR-certified light fixtures and bulbs on the outside of their homes as well as on the inside. Whether you're replacing incandescent light on your porch, path, or security fixtures, you're bound to see a change in your yearly utility bills. However, you'll have a hard time seeing a change in the actual light provided by energy-saving bulbs versus incandescent bulbs. ENERGY STAR lighting provides the same high-quality light at a savings of around $25 in energy costs per bulb or fixture over its lifetime. Couple those figures with a motion-triggered security light (one that shines only when there's motion detected in the area), and you have significant savings with a very long-lasting light bulb.

Whatever your outdoor lighting needs, you can find your ENERGY STAR-certified fixtures here!
