Driveway Lighting

Lighting info brought to you by LightingShowroom.com

Driveway lights are like a refrigerator with a beverage dispenser; not absolutely necessary, but definitely a nice addition if you have it. Most people use vehicles that have their own headlights so lights are not really needed on your driveway to light the way. Yet, if you see a home that has driveway lighting, it looks like a pearl necklace for a beautiful lady; it completes the picture without in any way overdoing it.

At one time it was a very expensive feature to install driveway lighting not only because of the cost of the lights, but also because you had to install the wiring for them. Plus if you had a number of these lights, or if you had to pull the wires some distance from your home, you even had to install a higher gauge wire to give your current a boost up so that the last bulb does not go dim.

Nowadays it is a very simple thing to do that with solar driveway lighting being readily available. You can choose from sunken lights that shoot pillars of light up into the sky to others that are more akin to stairway lights and still others that are like pollard lights. Only the lights that need to be sunken or installed in any way into your driveway require any work of any sort, the pollard style driveway lights, for example, come with a sharpened stake that just needs to be driven into the ground for it to be installed.

These lights are much preferred simply because if you want to use them for some other purpose all you have to do is to pull them up and transfer them elsewhere. As long as they can get about 4 to 6 hrs. of direct sunlight during the day wherever they are placed they will work well and should last throughout the night. They are able to do this because they come with LED lights that require very little in the form of battery power and so can last a long time. Why you can even set each one so that they come on as soon as it becomes dark so that you don’t have to keep walking over to each light every evening, turning them on.

Bathroom Chandelier

Lighting info brought to you by LightingShowroom.com

Do you really need a bathroom chandelier?

To most of us, a chandelier is something that we put up in our living rooms, and if we have the money and the space, in our bedrooms and dining rooms. Very rarely do we even think of putting one up in the bathroom. I mean nobody wears Louis Vuitton clothes and then goes to play in the dirt.

There’s a place for everything, and a bathroom is definitely not the place for a chandelier. But many lighting systems manufacturers not only make specific bathroom chandeliers, they give you innovative ways to install them there.

You hear everything from “It makes your bathroom a place which you will be proud to show off” to “It improves your bathroom experience considerably” whatever “bathroom experience” may be. Not to say that a chandelier will be out of place anywhere.

A chandelier is never out of place. You can put the most expensive crystal chandelier in a hut, and it will only improve the inside of the hut.

If therefore you have the space to hang a bathroom chandelier, go for it. Many of them are not too expensive because you get the simple three arm ones more often than not. You also do not have to go in for the really classy and obscenely expensive ones; a simple contemporary model will be more than enough.

Of course even this will set you back anywhere upwards of $200 depending on the kind of chandelier you are going for and most times much, much more. When you take it that most normal bathroom lights start off at around the $20 mark, you will literally be paying through your nose for it.

Yet if you are someone who wants to “tone up” their home, it is not possible with a $30 light. You’ll have to spend more but the satisfaction that you get out of living in a beautiful house, will more than compensate for any slight pangs you get when you shell out the money for a bathroom chandelier. Just one piece of advice; don’t go for the heavy Victorian style, it really will be out of place in your bathroom.

Under Cabinet Lighting

Lighting info brought to you by LightingShowroom.com

Lighting is no more a simple source of illumination, today lighting is much more. Lighting can be an intricate work of art, enhancing your home’s elegance. Lighting can be a modern convenience, designed for specific purposes. For instance, if you are the kind of person who spends hours at your desk, then lighting specially designed for desk use like goose necked lamps and adjustable table lamps are convenient to use. Modern lamps are designed to make our lives a bit easier.

Piano lamps to read music notes, mood lighting to help alter the ambiance of a room, mirror lights designed particularly for mirrors, kitchen island lights for over the counter illumination, motion sensors to detect unwanted trespassers and under cabinet lighting for better visibility are just some of the many modern conveniences that are available in the form of lighting.

Under cabinet lights for your kitchen counter

Kitchens are one of the rooms in the home that need a lot of light. A well-lit kitchen is usually a friendly and comfortable place to work in. One of the ways that you can light up your kitchen counters is by adding under cabinet lighting.  These can provide adequate illumination over the counter, giving you a good source of lighting for your cooking needs.

Under cabinet light options

You can use incandescent bulbs, fluorescent bulbs, LEDs, halogens as well as Xenon bulbs as under cabinet lights. Normal incandescent bulbs work very well, however are not very cost effective. While LEDs are the most cost effective, they are not quite bright enough if you are someone who needs a lot of light in your kitchen.

Halogens are good lights to use in a kitchen as they provide a prominent source of light, however these generate heat which can be enough to rot your fresh produce quicker than they normally do.

Fluorescents are possibly your best options as they are cost effective and provide adequate light. One thing to remember though, colored halogens can be quite annoying as they give you an unrealistic color, so stick to white and you will end up with a good source of light.

Today Coleman’s gas lanterns are state of the art pieces, that work astonishingly well under any temperature, with knobs to adjust brightness, rust free technology and canisters of propane that can be conveniently attached and replaced.

Lighting info brought to you by LightingShowroom.com

Fluorescent light fixtures are energy efficient light sources that can be used to illuminate your home and business. The lamps used in the fixtures are commonly referred to as fluorescent tubes. Compact fluorescent lamps or CFLs can be used in homes to help conserve energy, while the larger tubes are more suitable for industrial and outdoor purposes.

Fluorescent lights come in the form of tubes or shaped bulbs that can be used for a number of purposes. Fluorescent bulbs can be fitted into just about any type of light fixture from pendant lights to flush lights and sconces. They can also be used for a number of purposes such as back lights, grow lights, infra-red lamps, bilirubin lights and even tanning lamps. The reason why these lamps are preferred is because they have several advantages over regular incandescent lamps. Let’s take a look at their pros and cons before considering them as good lighting alternatives.

Advantages of fluorescent lights:

Fluorescent lights are energy efficient. They convert 22% of the power they consume into visible light.When compared with incandescent bulbs, they diffuse light more evenly throughout the room.These lights don’t heat up as much as incandescent bulbs.Longer life when compared with incandescent bulbs. Fluorescent tubes last 20 to 30 times more than the average incandescent lamp, making the expensive initial costs negligible when compared with replacing several incandescent bulbs.The cost in replacing as well as labor costs are reduced as you won’t be replacing a fluorescent bulb as often as an incandescent bulb.

Disadvantages of fluorescent lights:

Initial costs of fluorescent bulbs are more when compared with regular incandescent bulbs.Frequent switching on and off leads to lower life, even lower than the life of an incandescent bulb.They have a bit of mercury in them, hence one needs to exercise caution while changing bulbs as breakage can lead to leakage which needs to be cleaned out with care.They do emit small amounts of harmful Ultra Violet rays which may be harmful in the long run.They require optimal temperature to be efficient, any raise or lowering of temperature will affect the efficiency of these lamps. Outside use in low temperatures usually requires a high output ballast which raises the cost of the fixture a fair bit.

Keeping these advantages and disadvantages in mind, depending on your use you can get fluorescent light fixtures that will maximize efficiency while reducing your costs.
