Choose the type of bulb carefully
Choosing the type of bulb is a very important strategy, because even though it is the same light bulb but the rate of electricity consumption is varying. The light bulbs that are suitable for energy-saving are “LED bulbs”, which have many advantages such as,
- Long service life If compared to conventional bulbs such as chopsticks, LED bulbs to have a longer lifespan of up to Nearly 15,000 hours in general, while a conventional incandescent lamp or incandescent lamp has a lifespan of only 6,000 hours.

The color of the lamp has a huge impact on the human eye and vision, which believes that many people may have experienced before when turned on the light and felt a headache. Some people felt that the room wasn’t bright enough that needed to turn on other lights in the room. The reason for this is that the color of the lamp is incorrectly selected. Therefore, if you want to use the lamp in a living room or bedroom, the color of the lamp should be Warm White, but if it is a room that needs to require high concentration, such as an office room, homework room, library, reading room or even the kitchen. Should use a Cool Day Light or Daylight White color lamp.

On the other hand, it reduces the bad smell in the house and the soft sunlight also helps kill mold on furniture as well.
choose family time
For a large family in which there are many family members in the house, family time should be the time that allows family members to have activities together. It could be watching TV together or chatting in one great hall to reduce the rate of electricity consumption because if everyone in the family separates to use a private room, they inevitably have to turn on more than one light. It’s best to find time to bring everyone down and spend time together and help strengthen the relationship of the people in the house to be closer.
Set the time to turn on and off the light
Some newer light bulbs have an operating system that allows setting the on-off time. The most suitable place for setting the time is the outdoor lights, and garden lights, because at night if you stop turning on the lights and turn them off completely, it may make the house look dark and gloomy until the neighbors mistakenly believe that it’s a haunted house, uninhabited or abandoned. However, leaving it open all night and turning it off again in the late morning the next day is a waste of energy. Therefore, setting a timer to turn on and off the light will help you to be more comfortable. You don’t have to get up and turn it off and you don’t have to pay for wasting electricity. For example, set to turn on every 7:00 PM and turn off at 5:00 AM.

That is when someone walks in, the system’s sensors in the lamp will sense it and the light will immediately turn on, in the other hand, if there are no people, the light will automatically turn off. This will allow homeowners and family members to use the lights with peace of mind, they don’t have to turn them on and off, and it also saves electricity costs.
Choose the adjustable bulbs
Light bulbs that can be adapted to use according to the homeowner’s needs, such as bulbs that can be dimmed by themselves also can adjust the color tone of the light. It will help in terms of convenience and save a lot of electricity costs because it allows homeowners to use one light bulb for a variety of functions without having to change new bulbs.
