It's amazing all the possibilities out there beyond just turning off the light switch when you leave the room. Another great way to convince people of the merits of lighting efficiency is to show them how much money they really do save when they employ the technologies you mention in your article. An easy way for people to estimate the costs and savings of a lighting retrofit would be to use an efficiency calculator like this one: http://calcs.greenzu.com/light-savings. The great thing about this calculator is that it also estimates payback period and searches for local rebates for you too. Thanks and great post!
