Upgrade Your Home With LED's From Rayneau

It’s finally time.  After weeks of thinking it over, you’ve decided to switch from incandescent to LED lighting for your home.  You want to save on your electric bills and get more out of your hard-earned paycheck, but even with newer and cheaper LED’s, they are still more expensive than incandescent bulbs.  How can you be sure you’re getting the best in upgrade costs? 

Let’s take a look at where to start and how to finally make the switch to LED lighting. 

In general, you have one of two choices: Replace bulbs in a room immediately or replace bulbs as they burn out. If you want to completely transition to LED lighting without waiting for the incandescents in your home to bite the dust, experts suggest that you start changing over to LED lights in the rooms in your home that have the highest traffic.

The first places you should change are heavily trafficked areas or hard to reach lights.  The living room or dining room feature the highest volume of people and tend to use more light than other rooms.  When lights are on in the house, they’re usually on in those rooms.  Switching to LED here will save you more money in the long run by reducing the amount of energy used in your home each day. 

But wait, isn’t the kitchen the most used room of the home? For many homeowners, the answer is yes. But how often are you in your kitchen with the lights on compared to the living room or dining room? Your family tends to spend the most time with the lights on in common areas of the home.

Not only will your family get the most use out of these lights, but you will realize the greatest energy savings the soonest. This is because these are the lights that are on the most.

Another suggestion is to start with the lights in your home that are the most difficult to reach. These may be in your kitchen or the recessed lights in your family room. You know the lights we are talking about. Those that give you an inward eye roll and grumble when they blow out because they are such a pain to replace. Start with those and you won’t have to think about them again for quite some time.

 Now that you know what to do, it’s time to get up and get it done. If you have more questions about LED bulbs, energy efficiency or how you can make easy changes that save you money while helping the environment, at Rayneau, we are here for you.
