Light relief

Energy usage is a key consideration when it comes to sustainability. Swap incandescent bulbs (which are only 10 per cent efficient) to LEDS (which are 95 per cent efficient). Using less energy reduces the demand from power plants and decreases greenhouse gas emissions. They also offer a higher quality of light distribution, meaning fewer lights are needed to achieve the same level of brightness as traditional lighting. Make a statement with elegant shades, such as this Scallop design in Woad, £390 from David Hunt Lighting.
