Residential lighting contractors love LED bulbs
Residential Lighting contractors will give you some advice related to LED. Replace as many as possible of the old light bulbs in your home with new, energy-efficient LED bulbs. If you have been put off updating your household lighting by worrying about the mercury inside CFL bulbs, finding their light unpleasing to the eye, and then seeing them rendered seemingly obsolete by LED bulbs, and are worrying that something even better will come along next year and leave you stuck with a lot of expensive bulbs that will not wear out for six or seven more years, relax. The bulbs themselves cost three to five dollars each, and the energy to power them costs thirty to fifty dollars over twenty years. Even if a better deal comes alone, it cannot possibly save you that much.
LED bulbs have been around since the 1960s, but it was not until the 21st century that they could be made suitable for residential lighting. They use anywhere from a sixth to less than an eighth as much electricity as incandescent bulbs of the same light output. While they cost up to ten times as much, they last more than ten times as long. If you cannot find them in Fort Mill, SC stores, ask your residential lighting contractor to install some.
The one problem and how to reduce it
The one weakness of LED bulbs is their color rendering index (CRI), their ability to show the colors of whatever they shine on. This is a side effect of their inherent efficiency — the same attributes that allow them to shed so much visible light with so little waste heat also cause them to shine in a fairly narrow spectrum of light. As you know if you have ever tried to find your car at night in a lot illuminated by amber sodium-vapor lamps, light with a strong color of its own does not show the color of its surroundings well.
Engineers have found ways to make this less of a problem, either by including LED elements of different colors in one bulb or adding a phosphor to the bulb in order to broaden the color spectrum. Using LED bulbs of different color temperatures in the same room will do more to reduce this problem. Your residential lighting contractor will have more advice.
