Thinking GREEN: What About Your Lighting !
If you haven’t already heard, today’s standard general usage incandescent light bulb will be replaced by lower wattage, energy efficient bulbs starting this year, with the last of the 40watt bulbs going out of production in 2014. This is both good and bad. It is good because these new bulbs must meet stringent wattage and lumens (brightness) requirements resulting in energy savings. It’s not so good because it means you need to change your light bulbs or fixtures in the coming years.
Weiler’s Kitchen and Baths is staying ahead of the curve by installing high-efficiency ECO-Smart LED lighting fixtures in all new kitchen and bath installations in 2012 and beyond. These new ECO-Smart fixtures achieve a high standard of energy efficiency, low heat output into the living space and a much improved bulb life.
The ECO-Smart lighting fixture looks exactly like the traditional flush-mount ceiling lights you already have in your kitchen and they achieve the same brightness and color accuracy as the current incandescent bulb at a fraction of the energy consumption. Not only are these fixtures and bulbs more efficient, they don’t put unnecessary heat back into your kitchen like traditional bulbs do. The LED bulb is designed so the heat is vented up through the fixture and into un-cooled/heated space in the ceiling.
Best of all, these new LED bulbs last for thousands of hours (depending on usage) so you’re not changing light bulbs nearly as often. Pretty soon, your kitchen step stool will get a lot less use!
