Older homes seem to have their own signature architectural clues that have been left behind from many generations ago. Do you currently live in one of those homes or did you live in one while you were growing up? You will see that the one of the most known pieces is the "can light" also known as recessed lighting. You will see that this type of lighting is still used today. It's seen on runways and used with fashion and music. Often, trends that are old are again renewed at some point. You can now utilize this type of recessed lighting and reap the benefits of lower energy costs and consumption. If you now do not have any, add some.
If you have old ones in your home, it does not take long to fit them with newer ones. You can also try the newest in technology and screw the new housing directly to the old one for an updated recessed lighting. LED has not quite caught up with the fluorescent lights that are compact and add brightness, but there are other options to do that. Add more LED bulbs that have a component to help reflect the light. You can also go the route of getting frosted lenses for more distribution. Also, if you are the type who likes the lights dim, this is a great option for you.
A great benefit of LED recessed lighting is that the bulb's help to emit a beam of light. It is not recommended to light the inside of the recess with compact fluorescent. These LEDs make it very tempting to have them in every room of your home. Put them over the sink, cabinets, and the island and around your ceiling in some rooms. You can also decide to buy a swivel bulb. This can increase the flexibility about 30 degrees on any direction you choose.
LED recessed lighting can be used outside as well. Use it on your deck or patio. You can get them in either solar or wired for your enjoyment, which you prefer. This type of lighting has been used for a long time by mariners and can still be seen to this day. They come in both indoor and outdoor. Just remember to get the appropriate type depending on your use. These lights will last up to four years to come so there is no need to have climbing ladders to change bulbs any time soon.
