CBS Chicago stopped by the Lightology Showroom for some insight into energy efficient lighting.

Upgrading from traditional light bulbs to LED and CFL bulbs is easy if you know what to look for. Jeremy Baker of Lightology explains why color temperature is important and why you will probably prefer "warm white" light.

More video clips on energy efficient lighting on the CBS Chicago website:
