An area of outdoor fun that is usually limited to just the summer season is the backyard.

Look for the Label<\/h2>\n

When you begin to venture into the energy-efficient lighting world, the folks who went before have already made it fairly easy to get acquainted. Keep an eye out for lighting fixtures or bulbs that are affixed with the Energy Star label. Anything with that label will give you a signal that whatever product you\u2019re looking at is A-Okay to be considered energy-efficient.<\/p>\n

Swap out the Bulbs<\/h2>\n

Although the usage of traditional incandescent bulbs probably isn\u2019t as widespread as it has always been, they\u2019re still prevalent in a significant amount of lighting fixtures. If you\u2019re among the group that still uses regular bulbs, you can do yourself a great service by switching to LED bulbs. Not only are they more efficient, but LED bulbs last far longer at a much cheaper cost than traditional bulbs do. Making the switch is an easy process, and you\u2019ll be glad you did.<\/p>\n

Solar Lights Save Money<\/p>\n

Some of the light fixtures you use, like garden lights or ones that dot a pathway, don\u2019t need to be on as frequently, and they don\u2019t get as much use as other exterior lights do. By replacing them with solar lights, you\u2019ll save on the power that it would take to run them.<\/p>\n

Motion-Sensing Lights<\/h2>\n

Another way to cut costs is by installing motion-sensing exterior lights. After all, you don\u2019t need lights unless you\u2019re outside and need to see! By using motion-sensing lights outdoors, you ensure that you\u2019re never wasting money by powering lights that aren\u2019t currently in use.<\/p>\n

Take Initiative With Timers<\/h2>\n

A final way to maximize efficiency is by investing in timers for certain fixtures like floodlights. Similar to how motion sensors only activate when needed, you can set timers on lights that you know you won\u2019t need for a certain period of time. You\u2019ll be able to ensure the lights shut off at a specific time every day, even if you forgot about them.<\/p>\n
