FAQs - Lighting

Indoors and out, LED illumination is the finest option. You can leave LED lights on for extended periods of time without significantly increasing your power bill because they consume significantly less energy than incandescent or even halogen bulbs.

The main kelvin range you're working with when it comes to residential outdoor lighting is between 2500k and 4000k. Useful advice: Save cooler colour temperatures, between 3000k and 4000k, for trees and plants and use warmer colour temperatures, around 2500k to 2700k, on architectural features.

You can use spotlights, floodlights, or a mix of the two to give your yard more depth and height. While spotlights will spread a narrower beam of light, floodlights will cast a wider beam appropriate for illuminating a big area like a driveway.

Your lighting device is rated to survive basic wetness and splashing, such as rain or a sprinkler system, if it is specifically branded as "weatherproof."

Poor lighting at work can affect employees in a number of ways, including eye strain, fatigue, headaches, tension, and accidents. On the other side, excessive lighting can also lead to security issues as well as health issues like stress and "glare" headaches. Both can result in work errors, inferior work, and low productivity.

On the colour-temperature scale, LED bulbs at 2700K (the K stands for Kelvin temperature) cast a warm yellow light resembling outdated incandescent lamps, making them an excellent all-purpose option. Bathrooms and laundry rooms benefit from the whiter light produced by bulbs with a temperature of around 3000K.

Incandescent halogen lights provide "white light," which is a near imitation of natural sunshine. Halogen lighting has crisper colours and dimmer able lamps. Although they cost more and burn hotter than incandescent bulbs, they are slightly more energy efficient.

When a power source is available, they function as conventional bulbs and, at the same time, recharge when the switch is turned on. They continue to operate after a power outage because to the rechargeable battery inside the lightbulb. These can last between two and eight hours, depending on the bulb.
