What's the best way to begin using CFL/LED bulbs?

With lighting accounting for close to 20 percent of the average home's electric bill, you'll start saving money and make an environmental impact by switching from incandescent bulbs to either CFL or LED bulbs. Here are some tips on strategies on how to get the most effect--in terms of energy savings and usage--from the switch:

• First change out older bulbs in rooms where lights are used the most, such as the kitchen, living room, and dining room.
• Match the light output (measured in lumens) of your new LED or CFL bulb to that of your old incandescent bulb so that you'll get the same amount of light.
