lighting
In
creating a work environment, you want to arrange for good lighting. Factors to consider:
Fluorescent light uses about 1/4 as much energy as incandescent. Halogen uses almost as much energy as incandescent. In Australia, incandescents are no longer sold. They are too wasteful of energy. LED (Light-Emitting Diode) lamps are not quite as efficient as fluorescents, but they are rugged and last indefinitely. LEDs are now almost as efficient as fluorescent. When you read about desk lamps you will come across the term CFL (Compact Fluorencent). These are fluoresent bulbs sized and with bases designed to fit in incandescent light sockets.
I chose an Energy Star Torchiere flourescent lamp, as depicted on the right, from Canadian Tire for . It has in built-in electronic dimmer switch.
