Most countries have implemented policies to promote science, technology, and innovation. However, many households still have not embraced energy-saving technologies. One study found that 61 percent of respondents knew about climate change and domestic environmental policies. In addition, 56% knew about light bulb energy-efficiency. Despite these statistics, more education is needed to improve our awareness about energy-saving light bulbs and ways to light our homes that are more energy-efficient.

A simple definition of energy efficiency is a product that is able to provide the same level of function and comfort but does so using less energy. This is a perfect example of how modern lighting has developed. LED bulbs use less energy, produce the same amount of light and no energy is wasted in heat loss.
