Why Choose Energy Efficient Ceiling Lights?

Regular ceiling lights with traditional incandescent bulbs have a notorious reputation for guzzling energy. In the cost of living crisis we find ourselves navigating currently in the UK and the need to become more sustainable, homeowners have started veering away from more traditional ceiling light fixtures in a hope to find more energy efficient ceiling lights.

But why?

LED lights are becoming more and more popular thanks to their energy efficiency benefits. LED bulbs, on average, use up to 80% less energy that transitional bulbs which translates to huge savings on energy bills. Not only can using LED bulbs lead to better finances, but it also has a significant impact on the environment, with their longer lifespan, there is less need for replacements!

By using less energy, energy efficient ceiling lights contribute to a much smaller carbon footprint, competing with their more traditional competitors which can emit approximately 1.6 pounds of carbon dioxide per hour of use!

It doesn’t take much to convince you t make the switch to a more energy efficient ceiling light, who doesn’t want to save money and do their bit for their environment? However, we understand that style and personal taste are a huge part of finding the right lighting, especially a ceiling light, often a huge focus of the room.

Let’s have a look at some things to consider when choosing the right ceiling light for you.

Light Temperature - we don’t mean the heat of the light, but here we refer to colour temperature. It’s important to choose a light colour temperature that gives your room the desired atmosphere. Warmer colour temperatures are great for providing a cozy atmosphere whereas cooler tons are ideal for tasks, maybe best used in a room where productivity is key, like a home office for example.
