If you're like me, you need a quick lesson on exactly what it means to replace your recessed housings with LED lighting. It's a good thing that as a Marketing Associate for the showrooms, I work with Lighting Specialists, so I can pass on the knowledge to you- our readers.
Most people know recessed lighting as "can lighting," and most people also use regular light bulbs for CFLs in their recessed housings. There are a few drawbacks to using regular incandescent bulbs - they burn out quickly, they aren't very energy efficient, and a few drawbacks to using CFLs- they are not aesthetically pleasing, and fluorescent light is considered by most people unpleasant and unflattering- although they do last longer and are more energy efficient. Rest assured, there is a third option- LED Lighting.
Wait! Don't leave! I'm not suggesting we light your house up like the inside of a space ship! LED lighting has come a long way in the last ten years. Now, you can get soft white LED lighting for your home. So you get all the benefits of the energy savings and long lasting bulb life without sacrificing the look of great lighting.
