Know your lighting
Lighting plays a very important part in your house design, comfort and ongoing energy costs. Correct lighting needs to be chosen to suit the application within your home.
Clipsal offers a comprehensive lighting range and advice on the correct use of different lamp types to create genuine energy savings.
Linear and fluorescent lighting
Compact fluorescent lamps or CFLs are low energy, long life lamps. They are ideal for areas that require lighting for long periods and are infrequently switched, such as outside lighting, kitchens, studies and living areas. Fluorescent lamps provide an excellent light output and are a great choice for general lighting within your home.
Halogen lighting
Modern halogen IRC lamps are 30% more energy efficient than their predecessor with the same light output and long lamp life. Halogen lamps are dimmable and a great option to create mood lighting. They’re ideal for living areas, bedrooms, home theatres and dining rooms. Halogen lighting produces a warm comfortable light with a sparkle effect not found with other lighting types.
LED lighting
LED lighting is the most energy efficient and longest lasting lighting product on the market today. LED lighting is ideal for accent lighting in cabinets, under kitchen benches, pathways, wall lights and staircases. They’re also a great energy saving option for bedrooms, living rooms, home theatres and dining rooms. And in most cases, they can replace halogen lighting in these applications.
