October 01, 2005 - The U.S. Department of Energy has outlined several means of conserving energy this winter, including discontinuing service to gas operated yard lights, however, what they have not revealed is that by converting from gas to electric, consumers can save as much as $400 a year, while still enjoying the luminous beauty, sense of security and overall old style charm of a gaslight.
Many consumers refrain from converting, associating electric lighting with iridescent, bright, bothersome lighting that comes with some other types of electric lighting. But this problem is solved with low voltage lighting. One of the best companies for providing energy information and product conservation seem to be Charm-Lite.com, who tout a 25 year history in the lighting and installation business.
"The problem of equally abundant lighting is solved at 1/10 of the cost of gas," says Charmlite Owner Mark Young, on his website. "And the convenient dusk to dawn system will not waste one watt when not needed."
Charmlite uses low voltage, frosted bulbs, which perfectly resemble the soft, glowing beauty of gas lighting. Consumers will enjoy the comfort, security and safety many feel with an illuminated gaslight. They won't have to shut off service to their light. They won't spend up to $400 a year to operate their gaslight, and they will be guaranteed product satisfaction.
While there may be other companies that provide conversion kits, the truly unique aspect of Charm-Lite is not only that consumers will save hundreds of dollars a year, but also the one-of-a-kind craftsmanship and master art in the copper bulb sockets, which means the parts will not rust, crack or melt, as plastic sockets do.

Even more unique is the recently reengineered dusk to dawn control, utilizing the same circuit design in every commercial streetlight worldwide. Therefore, since these controls were originally created for the commercial industry, and adapted for the residential, the power, durability and capacity of Charm-Lite is not duplicated anywhere else on the market today. Installation is simple, easy and will provide decades of energy and cost savings.
