2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and try keeping bulbs and fixtures clean.
3. Use light colour on walls to reduces your lighting requirement
4. Natural light is free. Make the best use natural lighting whenever and wherever possible especially during the day time.

10. Illuminate your corridors using night lights when a little light is enough.
11. Avoid unnecessary decoration of lights and limit the consumption of electricity especially in a vacant house/ room.
