Although the success attained is monumental and very significant, it is not a reason for us to cease our effort to become comfortable.” – Prime Minister of Malaysia

The use of energy-saving lighting is increasing as more people are becoming aware of its benefits. If you use one energy-saving bulb for four hours a day, you can save up to RM24 a year in electricity cost. Multiply that by the number of light bulbs in your house and you will save more. If every household in the country replaces three 60W incandescent light bulbs with 12W compact fluorescent bulbs, this will lead to almost RM500 million in savings nationally per year.

According to the text above, we can reduce our electricity bills by…

• adding more light bulbs in our house.

• using only one light bulb for four hours a day.

• increasing awareness on the benefits of lighting in the country.

• replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy-saving ones.
