Currently, the most common paws from which you can get daylight are LED and fluorescent. Both of these types have their own advantages and disadvantages. Consider in detail both of these types of lighting equipment.
Fluorescent lamps
Such lighting devices still cause some concerns among the consumer. Everyone remembers Soviet-style fluorescent lamps, which from time to time began to flash and crackle. However, modern equipment of this type is much more perfect and reliable. Despite the fact that such lamps that give daylight contain mercury vapor, they can be considered absolutely harmless to human he alth. This lighting equipment belongs to the energy-saving type. From a lamp of 20 W, you can get the same luminous flux as a conventional lamp of 100 W. With the help of luminescent equipment, it is easy to save up to 80% of electricity in this way.
Recently, such devices are increasingly used in residentialindoors.
Connecting a fluorescent lamp of a modern design is nothing complicated. They have a regular base and are simply screwed into the cartridge. The only slight difficulty may arise when choosing such a lamp. The thing is, there are two types. One is for wall lamps, the other is for chandeliers. In the first case, it is necessary to select equipment marked E14. For the ceiling, a lamp equipped with a larger diameter base marked E27 is suitable.
LED equipment
This type of lamp is considered the most modern and convenient at the moment. With the help of LED equipment, you can get not only daylight, but also arrange a variety of decorative effects.
Such devices are also energy-saving. LED lamps can consume much less electricity than conventional incandescent and even fluorescent lamps. In addition, it is the most durable type of lighting equipment known today. They give more natural daylight than even fluorescent ones. In addition, they do not contain mercury and are therefore safer. If such a lamp breaks down, there will be no problem of its disposal, as this happens with fluorescent type lamps.
When choosing LED equipment that emits daylight, you should pay attention to such a parameter as color temperature.
In thatif you prefer the usual yellowish light, you should choose a light bulb marked 2700 K. To get soft white, you will need equipment 2800-3200 K. Lamps marked 2800-3200 K are more suitable for offices, as they provide neutral cold lighting.
Thus, fluorescent lamps are quite suitable for the equipment of modern apartments. The price for them depends on the type of device. LED lamps can cost much more than fluorescent lamps. This is the main reason why they are still not used very often in living quarters. However, with the help of a fluorescent lamp, you can get high-quality lighting and at the same time save on electricity.
