Choosing the right type of bulb is a crucial part of upgrading or installing new lights in your home. There are three types of light bulb available on the market today: halogen, CFL and LED.
Halogen
Halogen bulbs are the cheapest light bulbs available, and they are the closest you can get to incandescent bulbs, which were recently phased out in favour of energy-saving products. The life of this type of light bulb is typically around 2,000 hours, which is about two years, assuming three hours of use per day.
Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs)
CFLs typically last up to 10,000 hours - five times longer than halogen bulbs - and consume 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. It is possible to use them in the same way as halogens and they do not require any special fittings. A wide range of CFLs are available in a variety of temperatures, sizes, and colours.
LEDs
LED lights offer the most energy-efficient option for homeowners, with an average life expectancy of 25,000 hours (25 years) and a consumption of 50-90% less energy than other types of light bulbs. LED bulbs are more expensive initially than CFL or halogen bulbs, but their increased efficiency and long life will allow you to save more money over time.

Why should you get your celing light repaired or replaced by an electrician?
Electric lighting is an essential component of modern living. We rely on it to provide evening lighting for our homes. Nevertheless, lighting can sometimes malfunction due to faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, or even wear and tear over time. In the event that your ceiling lighting is malfunctioning, you should hire a qualified electrician who will be able to identify the problem and either fix, replace or install the necessary fixtures.
