Energy Efficient Lighting 2011


Energy Efficient Lighting

We all need good lighting in our homes.
But why should it cost us more than it needs to.

Over the years we have just put up with what is in the home when we moved in or what was advised by the designer or electrician while the new home was being built. Now days we are becoming very aware of the energy that we are both using and wasting in our homes. We have, I feel, all realized that using Energy Efficient Lighting we can save quite a lot and these savings will only magnify continue over the years.

Compact Florescent Lights and LED lights have become popular and over the last few years manufacturers have been developing lighting fittings that get the best out of these type of efficient light sources in styles that suit both our wants and the image and style of our homes.

I've included some units below and will be adding more as time goes on.
Many different styles are available here are some variations.
