Real Estate: The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday February 8, 2006 - 13 Conserving energy: A bright idea G ail M oreau presentative, B.A., B.Ed. Aboutowne Realty Corp., Realtor (MS) -- Can a simple action like changing a light bulb help change the world? You bet. "Lighting can impact the environ ment as much as a washer or dryer," says Ace Rosenstein, vice president of marketing and business development for Sea Gull Lighting, a leading m an ufacturer of decorative and functional lighting fixtures, lamps and ceiling fans. "Today's technology has enabled us to offer fluorescent lighting with better color contrast, instant start ballasts with no flickering at startup, and fixture designs that are decorative and complementary to any home's interior," Rosenstein says. "At Sea Gull Lighting, we feel strongly that offering decorative, residential and commercial light ing fixtures that meet Energy Star standards will greatly advance energy savings nationwide." 2 RE/MAX ABOUTOWNE 2005 338-9000 gmoreau@cogeco.ca Look for the star: Energy Star labeled lighting products meet strict energy-efficiency requirements set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. Compliant light bulbs, light fixtures and ceiling fans save the environment from harmful greenhouse gases, save consumers money on electric bills, and because they last longer than standard bulbs, save time replacing light bulbs. - NEARLY NEW - 50 FT.

For the discriminating buyer who 'appreciates quality. No disappointments in this home. The truth about energy usage: According to Rosenstein, there is often a misunderstanding regarding the potential energy savings that can be achieved through the right light ing choices. "For example, a 13-watt compact fluorescent bulb emits about the same brightness as a 60-watt incan descent bulb," he says. He also points out that incandes cent bulbs expend 90 percent of their energy creating heat, while a fluores cent light expends only 20 percent of its energy as heat -- 80 percent of the energy is used to create light. "Energy Star® labeled light fix tures provide all the features of stan dard fixtures, but they are energy effi cient and last up to 10 times longer," Rosenstein says.
