Hi all !
I am new to the Arduino programming and am trying to use Arduino Uno to create a program to simulate energy saving from light bulbs.
Any help or recommendation would be appreciated 
Thanks,
Sunny
P.S. - I will update this forum with the progress of my project with pictures and programs too.

How do you plan to save energy from light bulbs?
Keep them turned off works great guess that would be the best way.
Want to control the intensity of the bulb depending on the ambient lighting, thus if their is ample ambient light, the bulb will dim and will save electricity.
Yes, the intensity of a Light Bulb can be controlled by an Arduino which senses the ambient light.

But that would be an actual energy saving and would not "simulate energy saving" as indicated in the Original Post

The OP has refined the scope of the project ...
From message #1: "simulate energy savings"
To message #2: "actually demonstrating energy saving"
Maybe, something like a ...
A Photocell Sensor to the A/D Input and PWM Output to control the brightness of the Bulb.

What type of light bulbs?
Are the light bulbs mains powered.
Forget using incandescent lamps as the colour changes, and, they are very inefficient.
