4 changes to home lighting that will help you reduce electricity bills

1. Replace all incandescent bulbs with 15 times more economical LEDs

Do you know how much the efficiency of LEDs has increased in the last three years? If not – you're in for a big surprise. Kanlux X LED EX is a new, extremely efficient light source. It is characterised by superior efficiency at the level of 212 lumens for each Watt of power. Put simply, a 3.8 W LED bulb gives the same amount of light as its traditional 60 W incandescent counterpart. This means 15 times less power consumption and proportional savings on energy bills. Are you still hesitant? A 5-year warranty and 50000 hours of failure-free lighting – these are further strong arguments in favour of these bulbs.

3. Switch lights on and off without using your hands

Lamps controlled by motion sensors are an invention that has been seen in Polish homes for many years. Until recently, they were mainly installed outdoors, where light was needed for a short time – on the porch or by the stairs. However, you can also think about installing such lamps at home. Check out, for example, Kanlux APUS LED PIR with motion detector. It detects movement and switches on the light regardless of the ambient light intensity, so it can be used for interior staircases or corridors, or even for skirting board lighting (a very interesting application). We offer luminaires with built-in motion sensors to help you save light in places where you don't always turn it off.
If a lamp does not have a motion sensor then you can "retrofit" it with one and from the moment it is installed you are guaranteed that the light only turns on when you need it and goes out a moment after any activity within the range of the sensor has stopped. By choosing a solution with a separate sensor, such as Kanlux MERGE, you will stop thinking about switching off unnecessary lights because the device registers any movement within a radius of up to 9 metres. Importantly, you can precisely adjust the lighting time (from 10 seconds to 12 minutes) and lower the light intensity level. The latter can be particularly important when walking at night, e.g. from the bedroom to the toilet and back.

4. Invest in programmers

Perhaps you would prefer to control your electricity consumption without learning how to operate new equipment? You don't want to instal more apps and value simplicity of use? Check out Kanlux STER TS-MF control programmer. Set the current time by turning the dial, choose the on and off times by moving the plastic teeth and... check if the LED indicating that the device has started working is on. You can switch the device off at any time with the push of a button. It's as simple as operating a wind-up alarm clock.
