LED: Individuals who use LEDs have the ability to have up to 90% in savings, compared to incandescent bulbs. LEDs are unique when compared to incandescent bulbs, in the way that almost all of their energy goes solely to lighting, while other incandescent bulbs lose a lot of energy in heat. Also, LEDs do not disperse their light in the same way that incandescent bulbs do, their light is far more directed. Thus, by using LEDs one has a greater ability to light more specific and direct areas.
Compact Fluorescent:
Or CFT, is a certain kind of fluorescent lamp, which is designed to give the same amount of light as an incandescent light, but will use less power and have a longer ‘life’. CFLs are typically more expensive than incandescent, but in the end the benefits out weigh the intial cost. According to the US standards, a CFL will save an individual up to $30, when compared to an incandescent bulb.

Mr. Arrigo has stated that he is “committed to fighting light pollution” and that his desire to fight light pollution comes from his love for the night sky.

With regard to indoor lighting, one may enjoy wall scones- which are an excellent way to only light the areas of your home you want lit, they also come in many varieties and in many finishes. Or one may prefer pendant lighting which can give an artistic grace to a room or home, but also allows area specific lighting. Perhaps ceiling mounted lights, are more to ones liking, they are less dramatic then pendant lighting, but can offer a more dispersed form of lighting.
Outdoor lighting is especially important in the fight against light pollution. Thus, this form of lighting is particularly important and needs to be thought through well before the process of lighting outdoor areas actually takes place. Once again there are various options, such as glare-free lighting, which is very affective in giving clarity and visibility. Also, motion sensor lighting is an excellent way to light your outdoor areas because the area is only lit when its needed, and when the detector senses activity. Energy efficient lamps are of course excellent lighting fixtures because they conserve energy, by replacing lamps with energy efficient lamps one can protect the environment and save money.
There are certain products that can be considered to be ‘life savers’ of the night sky. These products serve as excellent ways to light your home, while also protecting the night sky and in turn your wallet as well. It is important to understand how the products you buy to light your home effect the environment and your energy bill. By choosing the best form of lighting to light your home you will be doing the environment and your wallet, a favor. Here are some products which are effective and environmentally friendly:
- Full Cut Off Fixtures: These fixtures serve as excellent light sources, they are designed to contain and direct all light downwards. They are made with a reflector inside the fixture, in order to best control the light output. This design helps ensure that no light shines upward this will in turn lessen glare. In commercial applications, these fixtures are typically seen as high-pressure sodium lights or as metal halide lamps. In residential use, these would typically have incandescent or compact fluorescent lamps… though LED’s are also starting to enter the picture. All but the incandescents would be considered energy efficient.
- Motion Sensor Lights: The beauty of these kinds of lighting fixtures is that they only come on when they are detected and needed, for the remainer of the time they remain off. It is only when the infrared sensor senses the motion of people or other large objects, when it will come on. They will come on for a few minutes and when motion is no longer detected, they will go turn off. They are benefical because they do not waste light or energy, and they also warn of potential danger when it is approaching your home.
- Timer Controlled Lighting: These kinds of fixtures are similar to Motion Sensor Lights, they are another way to conserve energy and light. In many cases outdoor lighting is only needed for certain periods of time, in these cases Timer Controlled Lighting can truly save a great deal of money. This form of lighting would be ideal for parking lots, certain advertising lighting, decorative lighting and so forth, after all these lighting needs are typically for only designated periods of time.
- Glare Free Lighting: Choosing lighting without glare is very important. Glare will never help in clarity and visibility.
- Energy Efficient Lamps: These fixtures are of course most useful because they help save energy, by replacing inefficient energy lamps with better energy efficient lamps one is both, saving money and helping the environment. It would be a wise decision to only use energy efficient lamps when lighting ones home.
Choosing the lighting systems and products of your home, is a tough decision. However by picking energy efficient environmentally friendly lighting you can flip on the lights with a clear conscience. There are a lot of different options to choose from, in addition there are many styles and patterns to pick from as well. Thus, one can choose environmentally safe lighting while not having to sacrifice on style or design.

There are three main types of lighting that need to be considered as you plan the lighting in your home:
General Lighting provides an area with overall illumination. This is also known as ambient lighting. General lighting is basic form of lighting that replaces sunlight and enables one to see and walk about safely at night. By radiating light at a comfortable level of brightness, general lighting is fundamental to a lighting plan. This can be accomplished with chandeliers, ceiling or wall-mounted fixtures, recessed or track lights, and with lanterns outside your home.
Task lighting helps you perform specific tasks such as reading, sewing, cooking, homework, hobbies, games, or balancing your checkbook. Task lighting should be free of distracting glare and shadows and should be bright enough to prevent eyestrain. It can be provided by recessed and track lighting, pendant lighting, and portable lamps.
Accent Lighting adds drama to a room by creating visual interest. As part of a decorating scheme it is used to spotlight paintings, houseplants, sculpture, and other prized possessions. It can even be used to highlight the texture of a wall, drapery or outdoor landscaping. Accent lighting requires at least three times as much light on the focal point than the general lighting around it. This usually is provided by track, recessed, or wall-mounted fixtures.
As always we at Starry Night Lights can help you with any of your lighting needs
In your daily schedule you may leave the water running as you brush your teeth, you may leave the radio on when you leave the house and you may keep your home lit even when its not serving any practical purpose…. but it’s gonna cost ya! Unfortunately we, especially as Americans, do not pay much attention to all the resources and energy we waste. Everytime we leave the water running when we brush our teeth, or ‘rinse’ (more appropriately described as drown) our dishes, we are wasting great deals of water while areas around the world are suffering from drought. Recently countries like Somalia and Ethiopia, are suffering from severe drought, which has resulted in agricultural and lifestock decline. Unfortunately, this has been devasting for the people of these countries, who depend these resources to survive.
Energy waste is especially severe when it comes to lighting. Millions of people leave lights on all around their homes, even when they are not home. It is also a common practice for people to leave a room, without turning off the lights. This may seem like a small problem, but it does add up. By taking the time to merely turn off lights that are not being used, you help your wallet and the environment.
Access to energy is a huge international problem. This is because we all need energy to live and keep the world going. Thus we need easy and cheap access to energy sources. However, by depending on the non-renewable energy resources, we have placed a limit on the amount of energy we can use. Eventually all our energy consumption will hurt us, and we need to turn to renewable energy sources for all our energy. If we do not slow energy consumption and use renewable energy sources, we will have a big problem… that’ll cost us!
