Lighting - top tips

• Switch lights off in empty rooms
  You could cut your lighting costs by as much as 15%, just by making sure you turn lights off in rooms and corridors that aren’t being used.
• Don’t use more light than you need
  If you’re only working in one part of the room, why have all the lights on? Don’t strain your eyes, but try not to use more light than you need.
• Make the most of natural light
  Cleaning windows and skylights regularly will allow maximum daylight to enter the building and significantly reduce the need for electric lighting.
• Maintain existing lighting systems
  A maintenance programme can reduce costs by up to 15% as well as improving light output and appearance.
