Problems with halogen lights
You’ll be surprised to know that many homes still use halogen bulbs for lighting options. Halogen light bulbs are known for running extremely hot which can in turn lead to further damage. Especially if there are other electronic components in close proximity or metal fittings. You could be faced with a fire risk if any household combustible materials are on hand.
A safe option is to consider LED lighting which is compatible with most properties, even thatched homes in Fordingbridge.
Why you should upgrade to LED lighting
LED lighting is actually far more energy efficient than traditional bulbs. Creating very little wasted energy. All steps which will help keep energy bills low over time.
LED bulbs are non toxic so they aren't harmful to humans or the environment. This means they can be recycled too.
LED bulbs are incredibly durable and vibration resistant so won’t rupture or break easily. They also last for years! Up to 30,000 hours so you can make some savings on fever light bulb changes too.
Can I upgrade to LED lighting in a thatched cottage?
Upgrading to LED lighting in a thatched cottage is strongly recommended. LED bulbs don’t get hot at all whilst running, so you can limit the exposure of heat to materials used in thatched roofing.
If upgrading to LED lighting at your thatched cottage in Fordingbridge is something you would like to explore, there are certain guidelines which need to be followed. For example, Carlyia Ltd suggest pendant lights or strip lighting rather than recessed lighting options.
Safety measures need to be considered when it comes to the electrical wiring too. All wiring concerned with LED lighting needs to be contained within an enclosed metal conduit within the roof area. The metal casing will prevent damage from rodents which could in turn expose heat and electrical elements with the thatched material.
Is LED lighting a good investment?
Most lighting installations carried out by Carlyia Ltd involve LED bulbs. They are a great investment as you can experience a much faster payback period due to their incredibly long shelf life.
It’s a great time to consider lighting upgrades as energy prices are unpredictable, replacing any high usage bulbs in the first instance will provide fastest savings.
