Benefits of Using Energy Lighting

CFLs have been on the market since the early 80's. Since then significant changes have occurred have made fluorescent bulbs more user friendly and appealing. Fluorescent light bulbs are cost-effective and energy efficient replacements for many contemporary lamps and lighting fixtures. They are also now available in almost every style to accommodate new lighting fixtures. While CFLs may produce illumination similar to incandescent light bulbs, fluorescent lights offer more benefits to the environmentally and budget-conscious consumer. Unlike incandescent lights, CFLs produce 75% less heat and use 75% less energy. They also last about 10 times longer than their counterparts. If you want to save more on your energy bills and help the environment, using LED is a great decision. Unlike incandescent lights, LEDs emit almost no heat and use even less energy than CFLs. LEDs last 4 times longer than CFL and are cool to the touch. One of the new features of light emitting diodes is that they are dimmable. If you have a dimming system at home, you'd want to use LEDs for your light fixtures so you can better conserve energy and further cut costs. Are you ready to go green?
