Light Bulbs

Can you please tell me the best light bulbs to use in my house? I have about 60 lights in my new house and I do not know what kind of bulbs are better and the power I need! Please help me with this!

60 lights - wow, you'll have a bill, unless you Megalight most of them compact fluorescent (CFL). CFLs cost more initially but they last seven times longer and consume one quarter of the electricity. They are available in spirals, globes, spotlights, dimmable and 3-way now. A company called EFI has good choices CFL bulb.

Here are some general guidelines for bedside lamps, about regular 60W or 15W CFL-13. For lights, 75W-100W or 20W CFL. For the bright lighting in areas such as the kitchen, you might want or 20W-100W regular 25W CFL.

But more important is that Watts lumens. Lumens tell you how much lighting you get (degree of brightness of the light is), but Watts is a measure of how much energy you burn for light. In general, you will get a better price if you try to get more lumens for an amount of Watts (a kind of miles per gallon, as in a car). You'll find that CFLs are much more effective when you try to get a lot of light for little money. When you shop for bulbs, if you want lots of light, choose a high-lumens bulb, and when choosing between bulbs with lumens equal, get one which uses less watts than the number of lumens. Again, the cost of purchase for a bulb that maximizes lumens per watt can be more expensive, but over the life of the bulb, you get more for your money with savings on electricity.

If you plan to use outside lights, and you plan to CFLs, you'll also need to check the temperature ratings for bulbs. Some CFL bulbs can handle low temperatures, but others do not work well in cold weather until they warm up for several minutes.

Most houses (decorative) lighting recommend no more than 60 watts - This includes flood lights inside (recessed into the ceiling). Pay more and get the bulbs additional long-term - a lot less work.

They are a bit spendy but the use of GE light bulbs clear. Not only do you get natural light yellow, but since the bulbs are frosted they emit more light. This means that when you use two 60 watt bulbs, you can now use two to 40 and still the light of the room quite well. Saves energy and they just look too cold.

I agree about CFL's - Sam's Club has a very good price - I guess Costco also. I have CFLs in every shot possible - and I have bulbs that have been on 24 / 7 for literally years. "I get size 60 watt draw 14 watts - Freak light and I need lots of light / watt bulbs I had some clear that came with my new outdoor fires - they burned a few weeks - I CFLs put off the dawn to daylight and the parameters they are very well .-- I am happy and in the A / C season - I'll be even happier,

For normal lighting, try to stay near the beach 60Watt. 100 is too great for most cases, more than 60 of them, you'll really feel it when the electricity bill comes in. My advice is to spend a little more and get the bulbs saving energy (they resemble a narrow tube all twisted around) because they provide that could light bulb 60Watt, but consume less energy.

Watt?

Whatever you use, do not exceed the maximum allowed. Each ficture lighting must have a sticker or other type of indication, which tells you what power to use.

My suggestion is -

try to reduce the number of different accessories bulb size - all different as we are a nightmare, the small screw, large screw, bayonet reflector up .....

CFLs will save you lots of money and time because they last much longer.

Depends on what you are talking about the rooms.
