5 Questions About Eco-Friendly Lights Answered!

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 most homes and properties, you can simply replace your current lightbulbs with LEDs without needing the help of an electrician. However, there are plenty of benefits when it comes to a professional LED light installation! First of all, the technology is very different. To get the right amount of lighting for the right task areas and spaces can be a little tricky, and it’s where many DIY installations go wrong. Another benefit is that you can get rebates for your LED light installation through the Victorian Energy Upgrades Program, making the process much more affordable. 

4 – How Expensive is an LED Light Installation? 

Installing good quality eco-friendly lights is not an inexpensive project, but that doesn’t mean you need to cut corners. In fact, if you use an accredited provider under the Victorian Energy Upgrades Program, you qualify for great rebates and even a free LED upgrade.

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
