Before, when choosing a chandelier, we proceeded from the size of the room and the number of light bulbs. Now the range is much wider. In addition to the incandescent lamp, on the shelves of stores you can buy lamps that are completely different not only in shape, but also in the principle of operation. The energy-saving lamp, due to its improved characteristics, is in a place of honor. It allows you to save on electricity consumption.
What are energy-saving lighting lamps? Let's try to understand this concept. First of all, they are distinguished by increased light output, that is, they give the same illumination, but at the same time consume less energy. They also have a much longer service life. The most familiar to us is an energy-saving fluorescent lamp. But now, along with this technology, other options have found their application. They differ not only in appearance, but also in the method of execution. This includes LED andhalogen appliances. All of them may differ in the form of the ceiling, in the size and type of the base, in colors. But they have one task - saving electricity.
The usual incandescent lamp for us is gradually losing its position. It is being replaced by more modern technology. Initially, it was an energy-saving fluorescent lamp. Gradually, its characteristics improved, compact options began to be used for living quarters. Here, thanks to the presence of an electronic starter, the quality of the glow has improved, it was possible to get away from the sound accompaniment in the form of buzzing. But the dimensions of such devices are still larger than those of diode or halogen ones. In addition, the presence of mercury requires special disposal methods. This can be tracked in large enterprises, but in domestic conditions it creates inconvenience.
Energy-saving halogen lamp uses spiral recovery technology. The presence of halogens inside, such as bromine and iodine, was reflected in the name. Another emphasis is the use of heat-resistant glass, which can withstand high temperatures. Their manufacturing technology eliminates the use of mercury, so they are safer and more environmentally friendly.
LED energy-saving lamps are even more convenient in this regard. They completely change our usual version of lighting. Most often they are supplied already in a finished lamp, which is specially made for such a device. Such light sources serve for a long time,while consuming a small amount of energy. Various lamps are produced for different needs. These can be options for mounting on the ceiling or LED strip, which is better hidden behind the eaves. You can use wall mount or spotlights on the ceiling.
When choosing a lamp for yourself, pay attention to the base, the environmental friendliness of materials and the color of the spectrum that it gives when turned on. For a living room, it can be a bright white light, but for a child's room, it is better to use a muted yellow or blue. In the coming years, it is planned to stop the production of incandescent lamps. To be ready for this decision, you should now choose for yourself the option in which the energy-saving lamp will be a good replacement for Ilyich's light bulb for you.
