    I was able to leave 95% of my Electric household items off and used my cellphone to turn on my lights when I come up to my house since I don't get back home until its dark and I will see how the results reflect on my next bill!

    Good thing about my townhome is I can heat it up fast and it holds the heat in great so I leave everything off and it takes under 10 minutes to heat up the area I function in prior to me going to sleep so I am saving a lot of money this way

    My showerhead was purchased from one of the venders who sold light bulbs here at the PSOB building and I used it for the first time and it was wonderful! I think more people should try them
