For you do-it yourselfers remodeling and reinventing your indoor spaces, consider installing energy-saving and stylish Sentina LED ZenLights. Sentina's $40light emitting diodes (LED) use less electricity than traditional light bulbs and are hidden behind a trendy sci-fi looking screen.

The screen combines functionality of a light and the clean lines of stylish decor to a wall or ceiling. These screens are made from Japanese rice paper, which helps to add a soothing and warm glow to light emitted. To save even more electricity, the LED lights run on only three watts and use motion censors, only turning on when they detect someone entering a room. The lights will turn off after a few minutes depending on the desired preset selected, such as 5 or 10 minutes.

Redecorating with energy efficient lighting is a sure way to reduce long-term household costs, but it is also a way to vote for the environment with your dollar. Consumer purchasing power, particularly in a recession, speaks volumes to manufacturers and retailers on what customers really want. In taking the time to explore and then purchase products that save energy, reuse a material, or promote environmental protection, a clear message is sent to home improvement and interior designing retailers who may not be naturally eco conscious.
