There’s no doubt about it, LED light bulbs are getting the most attention right now – at least when lighting technology and energy saving are concerned. It’s amazing how in just a few years, a wide variety of lighting technologies have been introduced to the general public, effectively giving them a good number of options to choose from, but LED light bulbs seem to be attracting the most attention from both consumers and lighting manufacturers alike.

LED light bulbs have a remarkably long lifespan-some bulbs are even rated to last up to 50,000 hours, and frequently switching them on and off doesn’t affect their lifespan.  Above all, LEDs are the most energy-efficient lighting solution on the market and their solid-state nature also means they’re the most durable lighting solution. In terms of savings, LEDs definitely cost more initially-expect to spend $40.00 for a 60-watt replacement-but they save you more over the long run. The good news though is that prices of LEDs are slowly, but steadily falling. While it will take some time for all hardware stores to carry LEDs for general purpose lighting, more and more manufacturers have now begun to churn out their own LED-based lighting systems. This increased influx of LED products into the market only means that prices are only going to get lower…eventually that is.

Good Electrical can design energy efficient lighting plans and besides replacing light fittings with energy efficient LED fittings, they recommend installing heated towel rail timers.  With their lighting design and planning service, Good Electrical are the experts when it comes to power saving tips in the home. Coupled with smart use and good lighting design, energy efficient lighting can lighten your power bills, and energy efficient light bulbs use up to 80% less energy than standard incandescent bulbs, so people start saving money the moment they make the switch. They can also last more than 15 times longer than regular light bulbs.

Good Electrical recommend that people choose the right ‘colour’ for the area they are going to light. A ‘warm white’ colour will be suitable for lounges, hallways and bedrooms and a ‘cool white’ colour will be suitable for laundries, bathrooms and offices. Using energy efficient light bulbs is a great way to manage our electricity bills, so for more information on this and on Good Electrical services please visit the website at https://www.aucklandelectrician.co.nz .
