Our electric bills have been too friggin high.
We have lots and lots of can lights in the ceilings. I pulled a bulb today and we have 75 watt Philips Flood 40 lights. They are 3.75" in diameter so I think they are R30s, although the "Flood 40" is a bit confusing. I think we are generating a lot of heat in the ceiling. Now we don't use the ceiling lights all the time, and we turn things off when we aren't in the room, but I am sure that the multitude of bulbs x 75 watts x hours of burning add up. I am looking for an energy-saving, efficient flood-type bulb to replace the 40 or so bulbs in the ceilings. I notice there are a number of types of replacements that are energy efficient, including flourescent, Halogen-IR, Metal Hallide, etc. Anybody been their done that? |

Karl, one thing to try is:
motion activated lights.... they only come on when you are in the room,. I have sensors in my kitchen and living room it works well |
