The performance of any light fixture depends on what bulb light source you're using. Incandescent bulbs produce a yellowish-white light that is emitted in all directions. They're available in either clear or frosted styles. More specialized tungsten halogen bulbs produce a bright, white light. They have a longer life and provides more light per watt than regular incandescent bulbs. Fluorescent bulbs use 1/5 to 1/3 as much electricity as incandescent bulbs and last up to 20 times longer.
Try these quick tips that promote lighting and energy savings: Replace high wattage bulbs with lower watt models. Or go to an energy-efficient compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) that uses 66% less energy than standard bulbs. Dimmers can be used with incandescent lights, including low-voltage systems, but only with new-screw-based dimmable fluorescent bulbs. Other fluorescent lights must have their own dimmable ballasts. LAMPS PLUS has the perfect light bulb to use with table lamps, floor lamps, ceiling lighting, wall lighting and outdoor lighting.
