Dimming and Lighting Control
Lighting control – is it really necessary? Dimming – do we really need it? Many believe that these options are just an accessory. Yet, many fail to see the real benefits of having them. What are they? Let’s name just a few.
- Money and energy saver. Light Logic says, “dimming a halogen bulb by 20% saves about 18% of the energy costs to operate it.” With that said, it’d be obvious then that you would save money as well. With less light being emitted, less energy is dispensed. With less energy being used, less money is needed to run your lights.
- Relaxing. We often don’t realize just how much a bright light can effect us. It has been said that been said that light can often keep us awake at night. With the distractions of our electronics and other devices, the last thing we need is a bright light in our eyes. Dimming the lights can create a more relaxing atmosphere. On top of that, you can even set a timer so that the lights automatically dim at the same time each night. This has the benefit of training your body to relax and fall asleep the same time each night.
- Extended battery life. When halogen lighting is dimmed, the bulb’s life can be extended by up to 20 times. This is ultimately an extension of saving money. Because essentially, the longer the bulb lasts, the less time we have to spend at the store buying new bulbs.
