Save Money and Energy with Efficient LED Lighting

Energy usage in Perth households, and Australia-wide, has rapidly increased during the past decade. One of the reasons is the construction of larger homes with the installation of more light fittings per dwelling.

Cablenet Electrical Services can help you reduce the amount of energy you use for lighting by up to 50 percent, with smarter electrical choices and the installation of energy efficient fluorescent or LED lighting systems.

Developments in technology mean there are now more options available to both businesses and home owners to save money, conserve energy and live greener.

Fluorescent and LED Lighting Choices

Ask Cablenet's Perth electricians about energy efficient systems such as:

• Fluorescents - These are ideal for areas where illumination is required for long periods of time, such as the living room and kitchen. They also produce less heat, helping keep your home cooler in summer. There are two main types of fluorescent lamps-compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and tubular lamps (fluorescent tubes).
• Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) - Compact fluorescent lamps can now be used in most standard fittings, including older style incandescent fittings (screw or bayonet) and will provide you with energy efficient illumination that is also comfortable for your eyes. If you still use the standard, inefficient incandescents in a large room like your lounge, you could reduce your costs by about 80 per cent through converting to CFLs.

• Fluorescent Tubes - Tubular lamps, also known as fluorescent tubes, are available in a straight or circular style. They are cheaper to buy than compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), but unlike CFLs, require special fittings. Tubes are ideal for kitchens, garages and workshops.
• Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) - LED lighting is a very energy efficient option for replacing downlights. Their main advantage is an extremely long lifespan, lasting up to 50 times longer than an incandescent bulb. They can be manufactured individually, in sheets or as strips, meaning that LED lighting is the one of the most advanced and flexible home and office illumination solutions in the world.
