This is the place you’ll spend the most time. Granted, you’re likely to be asleep the 8 hours a day you are there, however, it is also the place where you’ll get some quiet time to read, rest or listen to music. More often than not, it’s the place you’ll recover from the inevitable sickie, so the bedroom has to be comfortable. You have to be able to control the light, the heat and the mood. You have to be able to relax, either to wind down before sleep, or to enjoy a movie or CD.
The ‘hands free’ switch
What could be more convenient than a light that turns on automatically when you enter a walk-in robe? Best of all, it switches the light off again when you leave.
Set the mood
While you may want the lights up bright when getting ready to go out on the town, jumping into your jammies is easily done with softer lighting. The dimmer enables the room to take on a relaxing feel that is a perfect way to prepare yourself for a good nightÕs sleep, or other nocturnal activities!
And save!
Additionally, with all the talk about increases in power costs, dimmers are a perfect solution to reducing power usage.
Cool in summer, warm in winter
Ceiling sweep fans are much more energy efficient than air conditioning, and may be left on all night. They inexpensively, silently and gently circulate cooling air during warmer months. They also work well with your air conditioner and heating to improve their efficiency.
Reversible fans can also keep you warm in winter! Heated air, which naturally rises to the ceiling, can be gently swirled back down to where it’s needed most. Fans can also be combined with a light, or even a timer, so they switch off automatically. |
Energy Saving Tip!
Consider replacing your 60W incandescent light bulbs with 13W fluorescent lamps.
