New year is coming, the spring festival is approaching, most families will turn on all the lights in their homes for a few days as it is the traditional culture. We think that it will definitely use up a great deal of money.

An expert of energy saving, Tai Lau said that the basic thing we do to save energy is buying environmental-friendly furniture and utensils to achieve the goal of saving energy as well as saving money in your pocket.

So, What he suggest is that we should buying simple lamps or lights or luminaires instead of those with complicated design. Also, the lights in the washroom should have installed a auto-detect system.

Moreover, the choice is also important energy-saving appliances, such as the purchase of energy-saving refrigerators, washing machines and energy-saving lamps and so on. Daizong Wei said that although the price of energy-saving lamps on the market more expensive than incandescent, but the former luminous efficiency 5 times higher than the latter. For example every 10 square meters of family size, need to use 80-watt incandescent lighting, and replacing them with only 18-watt energy-saving lamps. 100 square meters of housing by a set of lighting required 5 hours per day and the total illumination time of up to 1800 hours terms, the use of energy-saving lamps to reduce power consumption 1116 kwh, reduce electricity 500 odd dollars.

Scientific use is an important part of everyday energy-saving. For example, when using the refrigerator, opened the door number to be few and short, in order to open the door each time for half a minute to 1 minute, the refrigerator temperature to restore the status quo ante, the compressor must work 5 minutes. Standby mode to minimize household appliances, as will expend a lot of standby power. As for the lamp is to minimize the switching frequency, because each switch time, energy-saving lamps will not only reduce the life of three hours or so, and open the instantaneous current consumption is large, not only failed to energy-saving, but a waste of energy. Therefore, the energy-saving lamps do not have even a short time, do not have to immediately turn off.
