Towerheath - Light Manufacturing and Design

It’s great to see lighting education of the public being taken on by the government now that they’ve decided there may be a greenhouse issue facing us in the near future!  And supporting the lighting design industry is a big added bonus!

Household lighting energy use in Australia is increasing due to the construction of larger homes and the installation of more light fittings per home. Most homes could probably reduce the amount of energy they use for lighting by 50 percent or more.

Good lighting is about more than just light levels. The same level of light can provide effective or ineffective lighting. Some lighting can make rooms flat and featureless even when it's bright. A lighting designer will be able to help you design more effective lighting, but make sure they know you also want an energy efficient system.

An efficient and effective lighting system will:

• Provide a high level of visual comfort.
• Make use of natural light.
• Provide the best light for the task.
• Provide controls for flexibility.
• Have low energy requirements.
