Save money and improve security
Just a few outdoor lights left on each night can double your household lighting bill and your greenhouse gas emissions. The best solution is to fit daylight and movement sensors so outdoor lights switch on when they're needed, but don't waste electricity. This also improves your home's security, as you can tell when someone is approaching the house.

For outdoor lights that must stay on for long periods, use energy efficient, compact fluorescent or LED lamps and choose the lowest wattage lamp that gives enough light.
In the garden
You can now buy solar powered garden lights that use no mains electricity and so produce no emissions when used. Plus you don't need to wire up your garden to get lighting.
