ENERGO-PRO gives recommendations for saving electricity from lighting

According to experts' calculations, the electricity consumed for lighting in the home and office premises amounts to more than 10% of the total amount consumed. ENERGO-PRO continues to offer its customers advice on energy efficiency in households in order to reduce costs. Here are the company's recommendations for saving on lighting:

Turn off the lamps in the absence of the room for more than 10 minutes. The same applies to corners of larger rooms where you do not carry out an activity. Installing several types of lighting fixtures in one room - chandeliers, table and wall lamps - allows you to control the exact amount of lighting that is needed at any time according to the type of activity. It is optimal to have at least three light sources in the living room.Use energy-saving lighting fixtures. They reduce electricity consumption by up to 80% at relatively the same level of lighting. Put dimmers to adjust the degree of illumination, they can save you annually about 50 BGN on the electricity bill. Paint the walls of the rooms in light tones, this will reduce the need for strong lighting.For more light in the rooms, open the blinds and dense curtains as much as possible during the day and regularly clean the dust on the bulbs and lampshades.Replace ordinary switches with touch ones that automatically turn off the lighting a few minutes after you leave the room. Such switches are particularly suitable for less frequently used rooms such as corridors, vestibules and closets. In the yard or garden, low-voltage LED lamps combined with sensor luminaires that take into account light, time and movement are most suitable. This is also a sure way to save electricity.

ENERGO-PRO strongly recommends the use of modern LED lighting, which has the following advantages: LED bulbs are easy to install; they start to glow from the first moment, because there is no warm-up period; the electricity consumption of one LED bulb, which emits 450 lumens, is only 6-9 W; the quality and brightness of the light flux remain unchanged over time; they are much more durable and in the harshest conditions; with a low risk indicator, since they do not contain mercury and do not have infrared and ultraviolet radiation; they have a guarantee that is usually 2 years, having a real life of about 5 years, according to the certificate LED lamps have 25,000 hours of operation.

Modern LED bulbs are environmentally friendly. This leads to a reduction in the use of electricity and harmful emissions, as well as the protection of the ozone layer. LED products have recently been offered at more affordable prices and are finding their place in more and more households. The higher cost is offset by a much longer life and significantly lower electricity consumption. If a household switches entirely to LED lighting, it will reduce electricity used for lighting by 8 to 10 times.
