The climate crisis the world now faces is an inescapable fact and one that we’re confronted with on a daily basis if you read the news and keep up with current affairs week in, week out.

And it can make for quite terrifying reading, so no doubt there are countless of you out there now being spurred on to do all you can as an individual to reduce your impact on the planet. 

It is quite overwhelming and you certainly won’t be able to achieve all you want to in just a couple of weeks or months, so it might be a good idea to start off small and see what changes you could make at home first.

Low energy lighting is a great place to begin, as it’s a relatively easy switch that will start making a big impact immediately. As the Energy Saving Trust explains, the least efficient lighting is now being phased out in any case so now’s the perfect time to start investing in LED technology and start taking advantage of more energy-efficient lighting systems at home.

Traditional incandescent light bulbs offer around 12 lumens per watt and have a lifespan of around 1,000 hours… but an LED lamp can have outputs exceeding 100 lumens per watt and 35,000 hours of use - or even more! The range of colour temperatures has been expanded so you won’t have to compromise in this regard and these bulbs have also become a lot more affordable in recent years, so you won’t break the bank either.

In any case, even if your initial outlay in replacing all the bulbs at home does is a little on the expensive side, it’s worth remembering that because the lamps will last a lot longer than their traditional counterparts, they’ll soon pay for themselves.

And switching to 100 per cent LED lamps at home will reduce the amount of electricity you need for the lighting at home, so you’ll see your energy bills drop as well. It really is a win-win!

If you’re putting together a new lighting plan for the different rooms at home, start shopping for fittings as soon as you can, as well as identifying where you want your lights to be and the kind of fittings and switches you want. Take into account every potential use for each room, as this will help you work out the best places for the different lights.

Also think about the amount and type of light you’ll get from each fitting, remembering that bigger rooms will need more light than the smaller spaces at home. And always think about the amount of natural light that comes flooding in, as this will help inform lighting decisions as well.
