By now you've no doubt heard the most common home energy conservation tips: turn down the heat, switch to compact fluorescent or LED bulbs, and unplug chargers when not in use.
While effective, they can at times feel like a compromise. But you may not have heard of another low-cost tip for saving energy: installing lighting control products. Not only do lighting control products, solutions ranging from inexpensive dimmers to whole-house automation, save energy, they add luxury, convenience and safety as well. Finally there's a no-compromise way to conserve energy and live green.

Consider this: a light bulb dimmed by just 10%--an imperceptible amount in most rooms--will use 10% less energy than one burning at full intensity. Regularly dimming lights in rooms with multiple high-wattage light fixtures, like kitchens, can make a very noticeable dent in your energy consumption. Dimming lights also offers a side benefit of extending the life of your bulbs, which contributes to less overall waste.

Not only are lighting control products good for your wallet and the environment, they also help you create the mood and ambience in your living spaces. Dimmers with memory let you preset various lighting conditions based upon how you live. In the kitchen you can set lights bright for cooking and cleaning, medium intensity for eating and entertaining, and dim for when you want to enjoy a midnight snack.
