To find out more about different fixtures, consult the yellow pages for a local dealer. If you want the most efficient lighting available, you should be using florescent tubes. These tubes give off an uneven amount of light which will provide shadowless non-glaring lighting. Generally speaking, this type of lighting will give you more light and use less electricity than regular bulbs. Florescent tubes are more expensive then regular bulbs, but will last much longer.
Fluorescent lighting comes in a variety of soft colors.
The conventional fluorescent lighting uses a special fixture, however for your traditional light fixtures, you can put in a screw type bulb. Another helpful hint for saving energy is to install timers on your lamps. This way if you leave a light on the timer will eventually shut it off for you. For more information, contact a lighting retailer in your area. The lighting design you choose for your home should enhance and beautify your home's decor.
