TIPS AND TRICKS TO IMPLEMENT ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOME LIGHTING SOLUTIONS

In our last blog, we explained what are energy-efficient home lighting solutions for 2022 and how LEDs and CFL lighting solutions may save you hundreds of dollars every year, a pretty decent number, isn’t it. Yeah, let’s dive into it as we promised to provide more tips and tricks for energy-efficient lighting solutions. Welcome Arian's

The two most prominent energy-efficient lighting technologies that are widely accessible are

• CFL
• LEDs

CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamps)

These lamps are more advanced than incandescent lamps, the best thing about these lamps is they consume 75 percent less electricity and last 10 to 15 times longer than regular bulbs. CFL lamps have a glass tube with a phosphorus coating that is filled with argon gas and mercury vapor. In order to produce an arc between electrodes, electronic blasts are used to create high voltage at starting.

CFL bulbs use a high current to start and a low current to operate in the middle. You can get CFL lamps in different shapes and sizes to fit your requirements.

LED (Light Emitting Diode)

LEDs are the most advanced and energy efficient lighting technology available to us. LEDs consume 80% less energy than regular incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps. And the good thing is they last longer nearly 5000 hrs, we have provided a comparison table in our last blog. Check out from here.

You can get higher illumination in incandescent lamps but that comes at the cost of higher energy consumption. LED bulbs are rated somewhat lower than CFL lamps, hence the energy consumption is too low in this situation. As a result, as compared to standard bulbs, energy efficient lighting preserves energy. Furthermore, from a life cycle viewpoint, these lights cut CO2 emissions and mercury pollution while burning fossil fuels.

Tips and technology hacks to energy-efficient lighting

Place Motion Detectors and other smart sensors

Motion detector sensors are excellent choices for your outdoor lighting system and any other location where regular illumination is not required. They are quite effective at lowering your electricity bill.

Motion sensors, infrared sensors, photo sensors, and automated timers are among the possible options. A photo sensor, for example, can alter your lighting based on the availability of daylight. Centralized systems based on GSM/SCADA/GPS also monitor and manage the lighting system effectively and reliably in order to conserve energy.

Light in Layers

This is a unique approach that works on less is more philosophy. You can deploy this while setting up a new house or remolding lightning solutions. To implement this strategy, you focus on areas where the lightning is most required such as the reading and work area. Accept just the most significant items in the living room. This allows you to use fewer lights without making the house appear gloomy, while also saving money on your energy costs.
