Effecient lighting for kitchens and baths

For any of you considering a kitchen or bath remedel any time soon, it is good to know about Title 24. In California, there are dozens of laws about lighting and energy use and they all fall under the heading of Title 24. Each year this is updated (and new rules are added, it is Californis, after all!) One of the main concerns is how to make lighting in kitchens and baths the most energy effecient. So I thought I would tell you all about a lighting system called Vacancy Sensors. These are installed where your lightswitch is now and based on motion in that room, turn on or off. They can be set to different levels of light for different areas of a room; bright task lighting for a kitchen or soft, flattering light in a bathroom.  Some even include an LED night light! visit http://www.wattstopper.com/ to see more products before you embark on your next remodel.
