Light Up Your Home The Efficient Way: Halogen Lamps Are Out, LEDs Are In!

Light Up Your Home the Efficient Way: Halogen Lamps Are Out, LEDs Are In!

Did you know halogen lamps are no longer available in Australia? As part of the nation’s sustainability efforts, halogen lamps were phased out in 2021 to promote energy efficient lighting. If your home still uses halogen, now’s the perfect time to upgrade to LED lighting to save energy, money, and the planet!

What’s Changed?

The phase out covers most halogen lamps, including standard globes, candle lights, and decorative bulbs. However, some exemptions remain, such as low-voltage halogens (like MR16 downlights) and specialty lamps for ovens or vehicles.

Why Switch to LEDs?

Energy Efficiency: LEDs use up to 80% less energy than halogen lamps, reducing your power consumption and easing the strain on the grid.

Longer Lifespan: While halogen bulbs last around 2,000 hours, LEDs can last up to 25,000 hours or more, meaning fewer replacements and less hassle.

Cost Savings: Though LEDs have a slightly higher upfront cost, their energy efficiency and durability lead to significant savings on your electricity bills over time.

Eco-Friendly: LEDs produce less heat, contain no toxic materials like mercury, and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Additional Benefits of LEDs

LEDs come in a variety of colours and styles, allowing you to customise your home’s lighting to suit your needs. Unlike some energy-saving bulbs, LEDs reach full brightness immediately, making them ideal for all areas of your home.

Many LED bulbs are compatible with dimmer switches, giving you greater control over your lighting.
