Energy Efficient Lighting Fixtures That Increase Savings

If you want to effectively reduce energy consumption in your home and save money, then you need to take a two-pronged approach. In addition to installing LED bulbs, you also need energy efficient lights. Here’s what to do, from an accredited provider of free LED light installation services in Melbourne. 

LED Lights

Choose the Best Quality Energy Efficient Bulbs 

We mentioned LED bulbs earlier and there’s a good reason why – they are the most energy-efficient lightbulbs on the market. Not only do they last 10 times longer on average than halogen lightbulbs, they also use 85% less energy on average through their lifetime. They are cool while in operation because they produce so little waste heat, which is also safer for your home, and they contain no mercury, so they are better for the environment too. Fortunately, they are also very versatile and can be used for all home lighting purposes, from your bedside reading lamp and downlighters to outdoor security lighting, making installing energy efficient lights a practical project for any home. 

Install Dimmer Switches 

If you don’t already have dinner switches, now’s the time to invest in some. They help you control the flow of energy to your lighting, so you only get the amount of light you need. It can also extend the lifespan of your energy efficient lights even further because they aren’t always operating at full capacity. One thing to note is if you find that you only use a dim light in certain spaces, you may want to invest in LEDs that offer lower level illumination (fewer watts or lumens). You can check this with your LED light installation specialist. 

Timer-Controlled Lighting 

Timer-controlled energy efficient lights are another great option to reduce energy consumption in your home. You can achieve this using traditional timers that you plug into your electrical outlet, or with more advanced smart home technology like Google Home, Nest or Amazon Echo. This allows you to control all aspects of your LED light installation through an app in order to completely customise your home lighting to reduce energy consumption by cutting out the waste, with no negative impact on your comfort.  

For example, if you work late into the night but want to come home to a well-lit property, you can set certain lights to come on a little while before you typically arrive home. This is also great for security while you are away, as you can ensure lights come on at dusk to repeat your routine as if you were home, rather than leaving lights blazing the entire time you are away.

5 Questions About Eco-Friendly Lights Answered!

Image
As LED light installation specialists in Melbourne, we get plenty of questions about LED lightbulbs and eco-friendly lights for homes and businesses. Here are some of the most common questions about these lights.  1 – What Lights are Eco-Friendly?  LED lightbulbs are the most eco-friendly lights on the market. A good-quality LED not only lasts considerably longer than regular lightbulbs, but they also use far less energy to generate light and are fully recyclable, so they’re perfect for the planet and your wallet!  2 – Which is Better – LED or CFL?  Compact fluorescents, called CFLs, are more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent lights, using about 25-35% less energy. However, they are nowhere near as energy efficient as LEDs, which use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs. They also have a far longer lifespan (around 50,000 hours or more), which means you don’t have to replace them as often ad CFLs either.  3 – Do You Need an Electrician to Install LED Lightbulbs?  In

Warm Light vs. Cool Light vs. Daylight

One of the easiest ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to choose an LED light installation for your home through the Victorian Energy Upgrades Program . Getting the right LEDs is an important part of this process – so what do the terms “cool white”, “warm light”, and “daylight” mean?  Colour Temperatures for Lightbulbs  Light colour temperature – the colour of the light that the bulb emits – is measured in units called Kelvin (K). The higher the number in Kelvin, the whiter and crisper the light, while lower numbers give a warmer, yellow glow.  To make it simpler, LED lightbulb manufacturers give their range of bulbs different names to help describe the light they emit. Their high Kelvin bulbs will be called “cool white” because this very white light has an almost blue tone to it. The low Kelvin bulbs will generally be called “warm white” because they tend to have yellow tones. And right in the middle of the two ranges will be a “daylight”, which should be fairly neutral.  Howe
