Today, more than ever, the question of alternative high-efficiency energy-saving lighting sources that can reduce the growing demand for electricity is acute. At the same time, savings should not affect comfort.
TYPES OF ENERGY SAVING LIGHTING
Similar qualities are possessed by innovative LED lamps and energy-saving lamps, which have already replaced incandescent and fluorescent lamps. Currently, the leading countries of the world are actively abandoning the production and operation of traditional incandescent lamps and are switching to semiconductor light sources and energy-saving lamps.
BENEFITS OF ENERGY-SAVING AND LED LIGHTS
The main technological advantages of LED and energy-saving lamps are:
- high energy efficiency
- durability
- manufacturability and the ability to install in hard-to-reach places in the interior
- high mechanical strength
- environmental safety
- low maintenance
- the ability to effectively use and integrate into smart home system
Also, the advantages include the fact that these energy-saving light sources do not adversely affect people’s vision. They are also expected to have a long service life.
Indeed, LED lamps last a long time without replacing the light source. However, there are still a number of important advantages for this lighting solution. Small dimension allows you to install light sources in the most incredible places of the interior. The ability to adjust the brightness of the lighting depending on external conditions, as well as the use of motion sensors, has a positive effect on energy savings.
All of the above innovative lighting systems allow you to save electricity by almost 5 (!) Times compared to incandescent bulbs.

BENEFITS OF ENERGY-SAVING LIGHTING IN INTERIOR DESIGN
To the benefits of energy-saving light sources in terms of apartment design, houses, cottages and public premises include:
– a large selection in terms of style and appearance of fixtures.
- opportunity to develop author’s work on lighting. First of all, we are talking about luminescent textiles, which allow you to create designer lighting compositions in interiors for various purposes.
- Aesthetics of innovative new generation lighting systems.
