Save Environment By Moving With Smilight

Posted by energybulbs on October 4th, 2012

People are becoming environmentally conscious and taking steps to protect the Earth's environment. One of the easiest ways to do this is to use bulbs, which require and use less energy. CFL Lighting was introduced a couple of decades ago and has now become the norm around the world. There are many companies which manufacture not just incandescent bulbs, but also other kinds of lights, tubes for instance. These are considered more efficient than conventional lighting. That said, there are several manufacturers in the lighting industry which offer a wide range of bulbs in every price range.

Smilight is a well known brand in the UK where one can find not just lights, but all kinds of fittings for any space. This brand of lighting is also very affordable and can be found at any local lighting shop. Since they are slim built, they can be used in areas where there isn’t much space and needs lighting. Smilight products have been picked recently to be a centerpiece at awards handed out for Lighting Design. What is interesting is that there will be about 15 categories for which awards are handed out – innovation, designing, energy efficiency etc.

It is commendable that people are thinking about energy consumption and looking for ways to save on energy bills. A two pronged approach of using energy efficient lighting and turning lights of use when they are not being used is a good approach to cutting down on costs. Smilight tubes have been available for a while now – they also fall under the energy savers category – newer versions can save up to 50% in energy costs. Smilight tubes are available in the T5 and T8 series and also in different color versions such as white, warm, etc. They are also available in different lengths for use in under cabinet lighting in kitchens – if one is looking for an unusual size they can be found at local retailers or online stores. Also, available in different wattages – the best thing about this line of lights is that one can expect over 8000 hours of life.

Each brand in the lighting industry offers fittings to go with their products – Smilightfittings are not an exception either. Let’s take a look at how lights work – fluorescent lights basically emit light when electricity incites gas present in the tube to emit light. This light is usually ultraviolet and one can have different colors depending on the coating on the inside of the tube. Make sure that there is a ballast which will regulate the flow of current through the tube. Since they do the important work, a ballast will tend to break down more easily. Newer fluorescent lights use electronic ballasts to start and regulate the production of light. Smilight fittingswork best with their line of products.
