Putting Up Lighting Fixtures the Right Way When choosing indoor and outdoor lighting for your residential area, you need to know the kind of fixtures that are going to look good in your place. After all, if the place is not going to look ambient and well lit, there is no point in having light fixtures anyway. To ace this look to perfection, here are a few tips. Don’t shy away from trendy and modern lights Want kitchen pendant lighting or LED pendant lights for your dining area? Go ahead and try something you have never thought of before but try not to stray away from what you prefer too. Form a focal point and stick to it While you can use a light fixture for instance a lamp or chandelier as a focal point, you can even use lighting as a tool to create a focal point to any other element in the room. All you have to decide is where you want your center of attention to be. Blend finishes aesthetically You can think about blending two but no more than four finishes, for a refined look. If you are new to lighting, this can be tough so make sure you have a conversation with the right professionals or check out a magazine for inspiration.
See that you choose your fixtures and exterior lighting based on how they function in your space and not just because of its look alone. You are sure to find a variety of lighting options and alternatives at your disposal for this. 1. LEDs are energy efficient Traditional lighting such as incandescent lights and fluorescent lights are less efficient than LED lights. For example, in the case of fluorescent lights, 95% of the energy is converted to heat and only 5% is converted into light. However, an LED wastes only 5% of energy as heat and converts 95% of energy into light. 2. LEDs draw lesser power Traditional lighting lags behind even when it comes to efficiency with regards to drawing power. Traditional solutions draw higher power as compared to LEDs. A 36-watt LED can offer the same level of light if replaced with an 84-watt fluorescent solution. As LEDs draw lesser power, they decrease the greenhouse gas emissions, and thus the demand from plants. Therefore, LED ceiling lights have a vast scope of application. 3. LEDs do not contain toxic elements Traditional lighting like fluorescent lamps has harmful elements like mercury. Once the fluorescent lighting reaches its utility, it is disposed of in landfill wastes. The mercury contained in this lighting then leads to contamination of the environment. LEDs do not contain such noxious elements and thus helps protect the environment. Moreover, owing to the toxic chemical they contain, traditional lighting solutions need to be disposed of by arranging a registered waste carrier. Using LEDs circumvent this procedure and save the time/ cost incurred by such complicated disposal. Therefore, one should consider switching to Domus lighting. 4. LEDs have a larger life span LEDs last more than 6 times the other lighting solutions. This reduces carbon emission and the need for repeated replacements. The need for lesser lights also leads to the requirement of lesser resources used for manufacturing, transporting, and packaging them. 5. Fewer LEDs offer higher brightness LED lights such as CLA lighting have a higher light distribution quality than the other solutions. LEDs also do not waste energy as they focus light in one direction. Traditional lighting solution tends to illuminate a wider area leading to the distribution of light in unnecessary areas. Therefore, a lesser number of LEDs are required to attain the same level of brightness offered by traditional lighting solutions. Likewise, lesser lights will benefit the environment by decreasing energy consumption. These are 5 major ways LED lights aid in saving the mother earth. This is of utmost importance as of today, owing to the increase in global warming.
