Energy efficiency

Energy efficient LED lamps are rapidly replacing other forms of lighting and there are now many lamps and fittings that replicate period styles. When choosing lamps, think about the colour temperature – a 2700K rating gives a warm light while 6000K lamps are closer to daylight. Smart technology systems that allow the home to be monitored and operated remotely help reduce energy use by ensuring lighting and heating are used only when required.
