Lighting is an essential part of our lives. Lighting enables us to see and do many things in the dark that we cannot do when it is too dark. Lighting has changed over the years from using oil lamps, candles and other types of lighting sources, to electric lighting. Electric lighting illuminates our world with the flick of a switch. A wide range of electric lighting products are available today that provide us with different levels of lighting depending on our needs. This includes energy efficient LED lighting, fluorescent lighting, and even more advanced types such as xenon lighting. Lighting plays an important role in creating ambience within a room. Creating the right atmosphere is essential if you want to make people feel comfortable. For example, in a living room you might choose to have a dimmer switch to allow you to adjust the brightness of the lights so that people will be able to relax and perhaps even inspire a creative atmosphere. Lighting has moved on in recent years to include wireless lighting and “smart” lighting. With these technologies, you can control your lighting remotely from your phone or computer. This is perfect for those who want to be able to adjust the lighting in their home on the fly, or for those who want to save energy by turning off the lights in their home when they are not in use. Lighting will continue to advance as technology progresses, and we will continue to benefit from the many advantages it brings to our lives.
