How to buy Lights?

Most of us do not put much thought into shopping for lighting equipment. The reason probably is that we don’t realize how much our choice can affect our energy costs and eye sight.  Smart “light shopping” does not require much technical knowledge; in fact the following points are all that you need to keep in mind before you set out on your shopping trip-

For wall mounted fixtures an energy efficient and cost saving bulb is the best option.  Decide on the watts based on how much you want the area to be lit up. Generally for a small room a 25-30 watt light bulb is good enough.

To light your table or desk top, a desk lamp would be suitable and for bedside lighting a floor lamp would be a good investment. However, before you buy one make sure your lamp meets the following criteria-

Check if it uses energy efficient light bulbs.

Make sure the light it emits is easy on the eyes. Generally soft light which feels like natural light is good for the eyes.

Check if it produces flicker free frequency.

 An inbuilt Ionizer in lamps is a desirable feature, as it helps in purifying the air around your bedside/sitting area.

An anti reflective lens is also a feature that’s worth investing in, as it will help in reducing eye strain.

Lamps come in a variety of colors and styles. While it would be wise to avoid a lamp with an over the top design (as its appeal will diminish in a few months), a stylish and simple lamp that suits your taste and matches the furniture in your room/study would be a good choice.

Finally, pay attention to the price factor as well, and choose the light or lamp which offers the maximum value for your money.
