As in an earlier post, we have discussed the lighting and how effective it is in setting the mood at the same time; you must know which bulbs to choose.
In an earlier post, we discussed the different types of bulbs, such as incandescent and its types, halogens, and fluorescents.
Now the point of discussion is, which type of bulb is supposed to be used?
The answer, trick, or tip is that you match the type of light source with that of your décor. The room, home, or office’s entire design and décor must fully integrate the lighting, bulbs, and various decorative lampshades, chandeliers, etc.
For a room that has warm materials like the wood or the terracotta material décor used, then for such a room, you can enhance it with the bulbs of incandescent yellow or the orange hues, which will work beautifully well.
If you have cooler tones in the room, like the grey and blue, it will be better to choose the whiter halogens, which are a much better choice that will render the room in truer color than incandescent or fluorescent lights.
For energy efficiency, you can, though, choose to have fluorescents. Are these types of bulbs suitable for areas where you tend to leave the lights on? This is because they don’t generate much heat. Thus, you will have a cooler home. The suggestion is that you use it in the hallways, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
Also, when you are thinking about lighting, you need to know your home’s wiring. It is possible to do this if you are either building a new house or undergoing a renovation, but keep in mind that rewiring can be messy and expensive.
