As electricity prices rise and concern for sustainability grows, there are more and more people seeking ways to reduce their use of electricity in a way that does not affect comfort or style. One of the most effective means of doing so is by utilizing energy-efficient lighting.
Energy efficient lighting technology can be used to lower your overall energy usage and decrease long term maintenance and environmental impact while at the same time reducing the amount of money spent each month on electricity for lighting. The emergence of LED ceiling downlights has provided a modern, reliable and cost-effective method of providing an effective source of lighting.
LED ceiling downlights incorporate modern and stylish designs with the added benefit of high energy efficiency and therefore make a perfect choice for residential, commercial and industrial settings. Below, Western Electricals provides guidance to help you find the five top LED ceiling downlights and provides a list of the type(s), features/benefits, application options and the best tips for selecting the most energy-efficient product available.
Downlighting (recessed) uses LED lampsthat fit flush with your ceiling; they project light down toward objects and people, rather than out at the walls. Traditional bulb types stick up from the ceiling, so when you use downlighting, it creates a smooth look, that is contemporary, and sleek.
Halogen lights and CFLs will burn through an enormous amount of power, and deliver a lot less light than LED downlights, which are also very cool-running. Halogens convert most of the electrical current to heat, so all you get is the light and wasted money. CFLs have a slow start-up time, and contain mercury. LEDs provide instant start-up, are cool running, and have long life.
Because of this combination of high efficiency, minimalist design, and flexibility, many consumers and commercial users alike are turning to downlights.
Making the difference between various kinds of LED ceiling downlights allows customers to make their own educated purchases based on the requirements of their area and lighting needs.
