New technology has made it possible for interior lighting design to be both attractive and energy efficient. Here are some cost effective lighting design ideas that will knock down the cost of your electric bill:
 | | Three types of lighting techniques in one room |
Motion Sensor Lighting is an extremely cost-effective option for your interior lighting. Installing motion sensors to your lighting will turn the lights off when the sensors detect that no one is in the room. You will be surprised at the amount of money you can save on your electric bill by simply having the lights off in unoccupied rooms. Motion sensors are fairly inexpensive and easy to install for most interior lights.
Dimmer lights allow you to control the brightness of your lights while they are on. This enables you to use less wattage on your bulbs when you don’t need as much light. Dimmers save you a great deal of money on your electric bill and also allow you to create “moods” in different areas of your house. Use your dimmer lights to create the perfect light for a romantic dinner, a party, or while watching a movie.
Dome lighting enables you to create a great deal of light from one fixture. Use an energy efficient bulb (LED or florescent) to significantly lower your electric bill while producing a great amount of light in the room. Dome lighting fixtures are can look very sleek and are also fairly cheap (because of their simplistic design). This will give your interior lighting design a very modern look that is easy on your wallet!
Recessed lighting is another modern option you can go with. Use LED lights to make your design look even more modern while saving energy for your home (and money). LED lights also don’t produce as much produce as much heat as traditional bulbs. This makes them less of a fire hazard when hanging birthday or holiday decorations.
