Effects of Different Light Sources on Energy Consumption
With rising energy costs, it is becoming more expensive to illuminate homes. The decisions you make for home lighting are very important to you. In order not to strain your budget, you need to choose the lighting options well.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) do great work in lighting technology in terms of energy efficiency, brightness and cost savings. Among the things to be considered in the selection of LEDs; color rendering index and color temperature. The color rendering index shows how accurately the light source can reproduce colors. Another important point is the color temperature, the higher the number, the stronger the light source. LED bulbs are vulnerable to high temperatures. If the LED circuit gets too hot, more current will flow through its connections. This connection will cause the bulb to explode when it gets too hot. LEDs do not contain mercury but may contain other hazardous elements such as lead and arsenic.

Traditional incandescent lighting is an inefficient option. Incandescent lighting has become obsolete due to the lack of energy efficiency. Incandescent lamps are very costly to use. They are not very costly to purchase, but their lifespan is short. You also pay more bills due to higher energy costs. Therefore, if you have incandescent lighting, you should replace it with more energy efficient bulbs.

One of the biggest advantages of LED lighting compared to traditional lighting is that it has much more design options. You can also choose warm white, cool white or daylight options for LED lights. In addition to these, LED lightings have a wide range of colors from vibrant red to soft yellow.

There are reasons why incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs are still on the market. The main reason for this is the affordable prices. Although the prices of LED bulbs have started to be affordable recently, they have not been able to delete other types of bulbs from the market. Still LED bulbs are expensive compared to other options.
