Lighting, or the application of light for the human experience, can change the mood, temperature and space in any home. The general perception of lighting is that it makes a home feel brighter, more inviting and more productive. However, there is a separate aspect of lighting that also needs to be considered – the impact of the lighting on the environment. Traditionally, incandescent lighting sources, despite being extremely efficient, have posed a big threat to the environment. They consume large amounts of energy and produce large amounts of CO2 emissions. Fortunately, the technology of fluorescent and LED lighting has emerged, which produces brighter light while consuming considerably less energy and emitting significantly fewer CO2 emissions. In addition to being more sustainable, LED lighting also has the advantage of being more durable and long lasting. This means that even though LEDs can cost more initially, they will last significantly longer than traditional lighting sources while using significantly less energy, thus saving money over time. LED lighting also offers a far greater range of lighting options that can be precisely tailored to any space. Different colors, tones, and angles can be used to create atmospheric and visual effects. Overall, the introduction of LED lighting has had an incredibly positive impact on both the environment and humanitys experience of lighting in the home.
