Switch to Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
Compared to incandescent bulbs, compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) emit the same amount of light, last 8 - 10 years longer and consume 75% less electricity. Today's modern CFLs don't have the flicker and humming of the first generation of the curled bulbs, so you get the same light for less electricity. According to the EPA's Energy Star Program, the most savings will result from using CFLs where they will be on for longer periods of time, at least 15 minutes per usage. So at a desk is better than in a closet.
