Local LED Lighting Business Goes Green!

If you’ve ever dreaded looking at your electricity bill (I know I have), then it might be time to take a look at your lighting!

Did you know that LED lights use 75% less energy than traditional bulbs? You might be thinking ‘it’s just a bulb’, but how many bulbs do you have in your home? And how many hours a year are they running? Things add up quick!

David Segal, who runs an LED Lighting store called LEDSave, just over the river in Barton-Upon-Humber, told Mumbler all about it. Not only will LED lights save people money, he says, but they’ll help save the planet too. If everyone in the country replaced their old bulbs with LEDs, we save as much carbon dioxide as taking 675,000 cars off the road for a year! 

LED’s are so much easier to maintain, too. Ever noticed how ‘changing a bulb’ just doesn’t seem to apply to LED lights? While old bulbs typically last 1 or 2 years, LED Bulbs typically last up to 25 years! 

It’s no wonder modern cars are jam-filled with LED lights, and yet the lights never seem to break or need to be replaced. Unlike when you see older cars, and so many have the odd bulb out.

2 Alternative LED Lighting Ideas

Just saying ‘change to LED Lighting’ is all well and good, but what about actually making it happen?  While most advice focuses on LED Bulbs, there are plenty of other LED Lighting options which can make your home feel more modern, while lowering your bills. 

Here are two alternative styles of LED Lights to consider:

LED Panel Lights

If you’re fortunate enough to have an island counter in your kitchen, LED panel lights can really elevate the whole space. These panels are slim, energy efficient lights that provide even lighting across your kitchen. 

While in businesses they are often installed flush to the ceiling, in homes they can look great hanging from the ceiling. They really do give a modern and unique feeling to the room. Not to mention newer versions are dimmable, so you can have bright and clear lighting while yo cook, and a warm atmospheric glow later in the evening.

LED Strip Lights

Any good interior designer loves LED strip lights.

These can be installed almost anywhere, and are great for subtle accent lighting to highlight different areas of a room. Here’s a few ideas to get your mind going:

• Under Cabinet Lighting: In the kitchen, to illuminate countertops and create a modern look.
• Behind TVs: For bias lighting, which reduces eye strain and enhances the viewing experience.
• Under Bed: To create a soft, ambient glow that adds a relaxing atmosphere.
• Staircases: Along the steps or under the handrail for safety and style.
• Shelves and Bookcases: To highlight items and add depth to the space.
• Ceiling Cove Lighting: To create an elegant, indirect lighting effect in living rooms or bedrooms.
• Mirrors: Around bathroom or vanity mirrors for even, flattering lighting.
• Outdoor Decks and Patios: To add ambiance and improve visibility during evening gatherings.
• Closets: For additional lighting that makes finding items easier.
• Hallways: As night lights or to subtly illuminate the path.

LED Strips are a fantastic way to accent almost anywhere in your home with clean, clear, low-cost lighting. 

LED Garden Lights

You probably use lamps in your living room a lot, for reading or watching TV. Swapping out old bulbs for LEDs can give you nice, warm light and use less energy. LEDs also last a long time, so you won’t have to replace them often.

To wrap up, making the switch to LED lighting is a smart move for your wallet and the planet. With big energy savings, reduced carbon footprint, and long-lasting durability, LEDs are the future of lighting. 

So next time you’re worrying about those old bulbs, consider popping over to LEDSave. Your electricity bill—and the planet—will thank you!
