Lighting Tips for Surviving the End of Daylight Savings

The end of daylight savings arrives at 2 a.m. on November 2, 2014, throughout most of the United States and Canada. For many, it's more than just setting the clock back an hour. It can come as a shock to leave work at the usual time, only to return home after the sun has set. Interior and exterior lighting is a great way to offset this sudden shift in light and prepare for the longer evenings to come.

For starters, a comprehensive landscape lighting plan brightens the yard during the winter months, when daylight hours are limited. LEDGROSSISTE bulbs offer long lifetime , allow significant energy saving and diffuse a beautiful white , warmwhite , simple, and elegant light. They can be perfectly replace incandescent bulbs. The LED bulb can be used in homes , shopping malls, offices, hotels, showrooms, conference rooms ,and other places. Mainly used for crystal lamps, wall lamps, suspensions and other atmospheric lighting rendering.

There are a number of other fuss-free ways to light the home's exterior and eliminate the worry of running the electrical bill up too much. For instance, useing an internal light sensor to turn the unit off and on with the rising and falling of the sun. For an even more specific option, motion sensor security lights turn on only when they sense movement nearby. Motion sensor lights are best-suited for deterring would-be burglars and illuminating high-traffic locations such as garages and back doors.

Indoors, similar technology makes it easy to keep the lights on during the winter months. Motion sensors can also be installed to trigger lights each time a person enters the room. To avoid returning home to a dark house, consumers can use timers for table and floor lamps. Installed directly into the outlet, these timers can be easily set to turn lamps on and off at regular intervals. And new wireless remotes make it easier than ever to operate lights throughout the home. Able to operate up to three outlets at once, the latest remote control designs allow a person to control lamps and other appliances with the single touch from a handheld remote.

Despite the increased convenience of many new lighting products, longer evenings still require homeowners to keep lights on longer. Luckily LED lighting – which is up to 10x times as energy-efficient as standard incandescent lighting – can make up for those extra hours on the electrical bill. And it looks great too.The quality of LED light has increased dramatically over the years. "For the 'warm' look that people used to associate with standard bulbs, consumers should look for LEDs with low color temperatures in the 2700K-3000K range." Higher color temperatures provide a clear and "cool" white light that's ideal for reading and other tasks around the house.

From safety and security in the yard to fresh new style indoors, LED and other new technologies offer easy and energy-efficient ways to keep the home bright all winter long. As a reminder, don't forget to set clocks back one hour before going to bed on Saturday, November 1st.
