CableOrganizer.com Brings to Light the Top Five Benefits of Using Lutron® Dimmers
Dimmer switches are no longer used only for setting moods - these days, they're saving money, preserving the environment, and enhancing home décor.
Fort Lauderdale, FL, - Gone are the days when dimmer switches were only about "mood lighting." Dimmer originator Lutron has moved light years beyond the dial-type dimmers that were in your grandma's dining room, and embraced 21st century needs with next-generation dimmers that cut utility bills, enhance home décor, and reduce carbon emissions to create a healthier environment.
"Ever since Lutron introduced dimmer switches 50 years ago, many people have been stuck in the mindset that dimmers are just cool knobs that help you set a mood," notes Christina Hansen, a Product Specialist with CableOrganizer.com. "But in reality, they're amazing tools that, yes, help you create ambiance, but also have the power to trim utility costs, make your light bulbs last longer than ever, and even preserve the planet."
CableOrganizer.com sheds light on the top five benefits of using Lutron dimmers (http://cableorganizer.com/lutron/) in your home or workplace:
Dimmers save money. Because they limit the amount of energy your lights consume, Lutron dimmers result in ongoing utility bill savings - but did you know that they save you money even when they're not actually dimming the lights? When lights controlled by Lutron dimmers are run at the brightest level, they automatically use 4-9% less electricity than lights controlled by standard switches. The savings get even better when you actively dim; Lutron reports that dimming a halogen bulb by 35% reduces its energy consumption by approximately 28%.
Dimmers lengthen the life of light bulbs. When light bulbs are dimmed, their power supply is reduced and they're not able to burn at full brightness, which can considerably lengthen their life spans. According to research by Lutron, when extensive dimming measures are taken, incandescent and halogen light bulbs can last up to 20 times longer than they would with a traditional light switch.
Dimmers preserve our planet. Lutron estimates that if every home in the United States replaced just two standard light switches with dimmers, the country would collectively save approximately $1.5 billion in electricity costs per year, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 25 billion pounds - environmentally speaking, that's the same as taking around one million cars off the road.
Dimmers enhance décor. Modern Lutron dimmers are a far cry from the round, rotary-style dimmer switches of decades past. Sleek, barely-there slide designs and the option of cutting edge decorator-grade finishes make Lutron the perfect choice anywhere from laid-back family homes to luxurious, high-end residences. And then there's the mood-enhancing element: Lutron dimmers let you keep lights bright for a children's play date, and then ease them to a more subdued level so that the candles can take center stage at your dinner party.
Dimmers increase productivity, and help you relax. Just as it's hard to get motivated when you're working in a cave-like environment, it's also pretty tough to relax under glaring lights. Lutron dimmers give you the power to adjust light levels to the activity at hand, so that you can be alert and hardworking when you need to, but still able to unwind in a softer, gentler ambiance at the end of the day. It's having the power of transformation right at your fingertips.
