You will also need to see your professional several times for fine tuning during the process.Several key steps can make this adjustment quicker and easier. If you keep...more
Author: Art IcklewrightLED or Light Emitting Diode lights are solid state lighting units that are made up of a grouping of smaller units, operating using a semiconductor diode that produces an ‘electroluminescence’ effect to create the light. Although LEDs were invented in the 1920s they weren’t really produced in a practical form until the early 1960s. LED spotlights can provide a great alternative to halogen lamps. Higher wattage...more
Author: Art IcklewrightReplacing Halogen Spotlights? Small spotlights are typically used to provide more focused lighting or accent lighting. They are widely used in both of these ways commercially and domestically. You may have already been saving money and energy by using longer lasting halogen lamps to do the job. Halogen lamps are so long lasting because although they use a heated filament, unlike traditional incandescent bulbs, their tungsten filaments are regenerated (by a chemical reaction with the halogens), instead of being completely evaporated and deposited on he inside of the lamp. Halogens spotlights / lamps however run at higher temperatures - their filaments are close to the surface of the lamps and heir surface area is relatively small. There may however be an even better alternative spotlight lamp / bulb to these. LED Spotlights – why you should consider them for your spotlights? Spotlights / spotlight bulbs / lamps, because there are often many of them in a small area, and they are often installed in harder to reach places, aren’t things that you’d want to be having to replace too often. LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps can last 50 times longer...more

Author: Art IcklewrightFrom the 1st September 2009 a new EU ruling has come into force which is effectively designed to phase out the sale and use of incandescent bulbs in favour of the use and sale of low energy / energy saving / halogen / CFL light bulbs. This phasing out is scheduled to happen in stages over the next 3 years. This...more
Author: Art IcklewrightCandle lamps are most likely to be associated with decorative lighting e.g. wall lighting, chandeliers, candelabra etc. Candle bulbs are also used in outdoor settings e.g. outside the front door in a lanterns style; coloured candle light bulbs of various sizes are often also used in decorative strings. Candle lamps seem to have a traditional feel to them. The variety of candle light bulbs and the visual and lighting effects than can be produced with them is enormous. For example, candle lamp bulbs can be twisted, have bent ends, can produce lantern glow and flickering effects similar to a real flame, and they can even be gold tinted to give an oil lamp effect – it’s even possible to get LED versions. In many cases though, it’s simply a case of needing to replace a clear or frosted bulb.Before doing so you will need to find out what kind of base the candle light bulb will need to have to work with your fittings. For example the base could be Edison Screw (ES), Small Bayonet (SBC), Bayonet (BC), or Small Edison Screw (SES). The decorative nature of candle lamps means that there may be many in one place / one room, and they are likely to be in...more
