ELECTRIFYING: THE STORY OF LIGHTING OUR HOMES

LED Lights
LED (light-emitting diode) lights are highly energy-efficient, durable, and long-lasting, converting about 90% of their energy into light instead of heat, and lasting 25 to 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs. They contain no mercury, are more resistant to breakage, and are used in a wide variety of applications, from everyday home lighting to specialized forensic and medical uses. LED Lights comparisons

Energy Saving light bulbs lumen value
Select the right lumen valueHave you ever bought a low energy light bulb and were disappointed by the level of brightness it gave out? You may have bought a bulb with too small a lumen value. Lumens are a measure of how bright a bulb is.With traditional bulbs, we used watts to figure out the brightness of a bulb. However, watts measure power consumption rather than brightness. Energy saving light bulbs use fewer watts, so it’s best to look at lumens. Energy saving trust, August 2025 https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/advice/lighting/

Judith Grassi Original paintings on canvas, limited edition prints and greeting cards

She has recently become interested in the symbolism of things and has incorporated these references into her paintings using the written word. Colour is an important part of her work and she paints vibrant, richly coloured canvasses portraying the dramatic impact of form, colour, texture and scale which become apparent when observing a flower or plant at close-range. The ‘Flower’ series of paintings features...
