energy-efficient lighting
Low-wattage bulb systems
Energy-efficient lighting refers to light sources that produce illumination while consuming less electricity than traditional incandescent bulbs.
LEDs and compact fluorescents are the most common types, converting more energy into light rather than heat.
The term appears in discussions of home improvement, utility costs, and environmental sustainability: We switched to energy-efficient lighting throughout the house.
