At the moment, the most common paws from which you can get daylight are LED and fluorescent. Both of these types have their advantages and disadvantages. Let us consider in detail both of these types of lighting equipment.
Fluorescent lamps
Such lighting devices still cause some concern among consumers. Everyone remembers the Soviet-style fluorescent lamps , which from time to time began to blink and crack. However, modern equipment of this type is much more perfect and reliable. Despite the fact that such fluorescent lamps contain mercury vapor, they can be considered absolutely harmless to human health. This lighting equipment belongs to the energy-saving type. From a 20 W lamp, you can get the luminous flux the same as an ordinary 100 W lamp. Using fluorescent equipment, it is easy to save up to 80% of electricity in this way.
Recently, such devices are increasingly used in residential premises.
Connecting a fluorescent lamp of a modern design is nothing complicated. They have the usual base and simply screwed into the cartridge. The only slight difficulty may arise when choosing a similar lamp. The fact is that there are two types of them. One is for wall lights, the second is for chandeliers. In the first case, it is necessary to select equipment marked E14. For a ceiling, a lamp equipped with a larger socle with the marking E27 is suitable.
LED equipment
This type of lamp is considered the most modern and convenient at the moment. Using LED equipment, you can get not only daylight, but also arrange a variety of decorative effects.
Such devices are also energy efficient.
LED bulbs can
consume much less
energy than conventional
incandescent bulbs and even fluorescent ones. In addition, it is the most durable type of lighting equipment known today. They give more natural daylight than even fluorescent ones. In addition, they do not contain mercury, and therefore are safer. If such a lamp breaks down, there will be no problem of its disposal, as this happens with a fluorescent type of lamp.
When choosing LED equipment that emits daylight, you should pay attention to such a parameter as color temperature.
In the event that you prefer the familiar yellowish light, you should choose a bulb labeled 2700 K. To obtain soft white, you will need equipment 2800-3200 K. Lamps labeled 2800-3200 K are more suitable for offices, as they give a neutral cold lighting.
Thus, fluorescent lamps are quite suitable for the equipment of modern apartments. The price for them depends on the type of device. LED lamps can cost much more than fluorescent ones. This is the main reason that they are used in residential premises so far not too often. However, using a fluorescent lamp, you can get high-quality lighting and at the same time save on electricity.
