LED Lamps For A Bright Tomorrow

Nowadays, using energy saving lamps such as CFL (compact florescent lamp) or LED (lighting emitting diode) lamps is not only convenient but practical as well. That’s because these types of lamps are known to be great budget savers. On top of that using energy saving lamps for our lighting needs is also one way of helping this planet.  But before LED lamps we were using incandescent light bulbs as they are less expensive to buy. We used to buy several incandescent light bulbs if in case one of the light bulbs burn out.

However, after reading a few articles about energy saving lamps and how it can benefit us, I decided to give it a try. I bought at least one of these energy saving lamps with my eyes closed as they are really costly. But I am satisfied with how one light bulb brightened the room. So with my mom’s permission I replaced all the lighting fixtures at home including the ceramic light sconces in the hallway and our bedrooms. I am glad that I took the initial step in changing all the light bulbs at home because not only that the LED lamps lasted longer than the incandescent lamps, our electric bill also lowered. Although we keep the ceramic light sconces on every night, the bill is still lower compared to the time when we were still using incandescent light bulbs.

In order to conserve more energy and pay for a lesser electric bill, we added dimmers to the ceramic light sconces especially the ceramic sconces in our bedrooms. The soft light coming from the star, planet and other heavenly body patterns of the 9" Milky Way Children’s Cylinder Wall Sconce seems to transform the bedroom into a little planetarium. It is fascinating to look at. Moreover, the soft light coming from the different patterns is relaxing. It can also make you feel sleepy which is great since I have been having problems sleeping lately.

Promoting the use of LED lamps and other energy saving lamps may not totally solve the problems of global warming. But somehow it made us one step closer to to our goal and that is to make this planet a better place not only for our children but for our children's children. I am sure that all of us wants nothing more that creating an ideal and safe place for everyone that we love. Let us all work towards that goal.
