Get Gorgeous Garden Lighting!
As the habitual rain ceases for a month or two at least, summer brings with it not just bags of sunshine but a return to the outdoor lifestyle. Most gardens are neglected for much of the year but a quick mow of the lawn, introduction of comfortable furniture and the selection of appropriate lighting soon spruces up even the most mistreated of patio and outdoor areas.
Garden lighting is a quick and easy way to cast the lawn and its surrounds in a pretty, flattering light extending the hours you can enjoy the fresh air and British summer with family and friends. Lamps, lanterns and wall mounted lights strategically placed around seating areas mean the space can be used for alfresco dining after dark. Electric lighting can be combined with citronella candles to keep the bugs at bay.
Leading online supplier of lamps, bulbs and tubes, BLT Direct stocks an affordable range of programmable, colour changing garden torches. The brushed steel lamps are remote controlled, allowing the user to select programmed, fixed or changing colours.
“These lamps enhance subtle moods throughout the garden,” say BLT Direct. “They can be used to highlight specific architectural features and make the house more inviting to guests.”
Modern garden lighting can also be used for security purposes with spotlights on driveways, around garages and gateways to help deter intruders. Security lights can be linked to sensors so they only brighten upon movement within the area.
Whether you go for security lights, spotlights or garden torches, remember to use energy saving bulbs where possible to keep electricity costs low and do your bit to reduce environmental damage.

Saving The Earth Does Not Cost The Earth
Light bulbs may not get the column inches that high profile events such as Live Earth generate but they are one of the most accessible and effective ways to turn the tide of environmental damage. So if you’re struggling with your environmental conscience and are searching for ways to make a difference at home and in the office, consider energy saving light bulbs .
A quick and easy way to save masses of energy and reduce the cost of electricity bills, just one energy saving light bulb represents an 80% saving in running costs over traditional lightbulbs . Using an energy efficient bulb in the place of a standard light bulb reduces CO2 emissions and saves energy. In fact, if every household in the country fitted a single energy efficient bulb , the energy saved would be enough to light up Briton’s streetlights for a whole year.
Energy efficient bulbs are not just for ceiling lights and lamps. They have a whole range of uses, from replacing electricity hungry lights in kitchen cabinets and ovens to the tubes and lamps used for garden lighting and outdoor security.
Whatever its application, energy saving bulbs last twelve times longer than traditional light bulbs on average, meaning energy efficiency actually contributes to a healthier bank balance as well as to the global good.
While it’s difficult to appreciate just how much one energy saving light bulb can do for the environment, it’s easy to see how much it can do for your pocket. Leading online supplier of light bulbs , lamps and tubes, BLT Direct has a handy savings chart which can be used to calculate the cash saved by installing an every saving equivalent.
Steven Ellwood, director of BLT Direct said: “Although the initial purchase price is often slightly higher, energy saving lamps offer great longer term savings. There is no need to replace like for like because lower wattages of energy efficient bulbs are used to replace older models. As the government introduces energy saving initiatives across the UK, energy saving light bulbs will become a vital part of our everyday lives.”
Energy saving bulbs can be bought in bulk for even greater savings and BLT Direct offer free postage and packaging on orders over £35.

Infrared Lights The Way To Good Health
Ancient eastern civilizations have long known of the benefits of heat in their traditional therapies. Now, through infrared bulb technology, western therapies are being adapted to use heat to heal in a variety of ways says leading infrared light bulb supplier BLT Direct.
All lights have a particular wavelength and frequency. Some of these wavelengths are visible to the human eye; this is what we call the visible light spectrum which includes all the colours of the rainbow. Red light is just at the end of this spectrum and infrared light has a wavelength which is just beyond it, making it invisible. Instead of seeing infrared, we feel it as heat. Humans and other animals can both absorb infrared and emit it which is why people can be seen clearly at night through infrared binoculars!
Infrared lights, which are commonly used in commerce, on farms and in greenhouses, have only been used for around 80 years in western medicine. They are now being employed in more imaginative ways than ever before by both medical and holistic therapists to bring pain relief and healing power to patients.
Infrared heat lamps and infrared saunas provide localised or whole body treatments for relief of muscle pain, joint stiffness and to boost circulation which increases nutrient supply to the skin and removes toxins. They have been widely used in medical units for some time where infrared lights are judged to be so safe that they are used to keep newborn babies warm in hospital. However, these infrared lamps and saunas are now so low cost that people are buying them for their homes, for relaxation and relief of chronic symptoms.
Other particular favourites for householders include infrared patio lights for use on outdoor spaces. These give off heat, and can be pleasant to sit beside, having the same relaxing properties as the more specialised heat lamps used indoors by holistic therapists. Infrared patio lights allow people to stay outside enjoying the fresh air for longer on chilly evenings.
An additional bonus is that infrared lights are very energy efficient, converting nearly all the electricity they use into heat. This heat is more readily absorbed by the human body than by the air, so infrared devices do not have to rely on heating the air first, before heating the person. This saves large amounts of energy when compared to other types of heaters.

Lighting can change the ambience of a home, making features of specific walls or household items and creating moods simply by adjusting depth of brightness and colour of the light. While the right light can set the tone for the living space, the fitting surrounding the light bulb is an often neglected pause for thought.
Rather than settle for a standard light fitting, BLT Direct has a huge catalogue of domestic and commercial fittings suitable for application as varied as flood lighting, bathroom lighting, factory lighting, office lighting and decorative lighting.
The stylish art deco wall lights bring a modern edge to the bathroom, while decorated pull cords and circle wall fittings are more suitable for traditional spaces.
In the kitchen and main living areas, downlighters in brass, brushed chrome and white surrounds cast a pool of light below the wall they are affixed to.

Save Energy Using LED Bulbs!
Britain’s leading light bulb supplier, BLT Direct, is taking the lead in encouraging householders to become more energy efficient by using environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional lightbulbs . The GU10 LED is available in a variety of colours and suitable for spotlights around the home. It also has a variety of applications in commercial properties.
Most people are aware that buying energy saving lightbulbs will reduce their electricity bills in the long term, however, energy saving lightbulb technology is constantly evolving and improving. The original GU10 halogen bulbs are currently being phased out and systematically replaced with two energy saving alternatives. The energy efficient LED bulbs will replace the most commonly used lightbulbs in the UK.
Enormous versatility can be gained when creating lighting effects by using the GU10 LED as it is available in a wide variety of colours including red, green, blue, magenta and yellow. Combinations of these lights can be used to great effect in both the home and office. For the environmentally conscious householder, BLT Direct can also supply dimmable versions of the GU10 in order to save even more energy.
The difference in your electricity bills can be seen almost straight away when switching from traditional bulbs to energy saving bulbs . A traditional bulb wastes up to 80% of the energy it uses by producing heat, emitted as the tungsten filament in the bulb heats up. Energy saving bulbs work by reducing the amount of heat produced, whilst maximising the amount of light emitted. For example, a 40 watt traditional bulb can be replaced with an LED light which uses only 4 watts, and a 2 watt super bright light is equivalent to a 25 watt traditional lightbulb.
In addition to greatly reducing the amounts of electricity normally used to light a room, the GU10 LED lamp outlasts traditional lightbulbs with a traditional lifetime of 50,000 hours. The GU10 LED supplied by BLT Direct only uses 1 to 2 watts of electricity, making them one of the most affordable energy saving bulbs on the market. The director of BLT direct comments, “The cool running temperature of the GU10 bulbs makes them ideal for a variety of applications.”

Bright Ideas From BLT Direct
As environmental damage is increasingly on the social and political agenda, BLT Direct says that making a difference can be as easy as switching from one light bulb to another. Energy efficient bulbs may not be a new innovation but it’s surprising how many households have yet to make the change. Using an energy efficient bulb in the place of a standard light bulb reduces CO2 emissions and saves energy. In fact, if every household in the country used just one energy efficient bulb , the energy saved would be enough to light up Briton’s streetlights for a whole year.
If you’re still not sure about energy saving bulbs and how they can help reduce your electricity bill and do your bit for the environment, read on…
Why are energy saving light bulbs better then normal bulbs?
Energy saving light bulbs work much more efficiently than standard bulbs. A traditional light bulb wastes energy by producing heat as well as light. An energy saving bulb however works more like a fluorescent tube. The electric current passes through the gas in the tube, lighting it up without producing excess heat.
Do I need to replace like for like If I Switch To Energy Saving?
No. Because energy saving bulbs work more productively they use around a quarter of the electricity. This means you can replace a normal 60W bulb with a 13-18W energy saving recommended equivalent.
Will An Energy Saving Bulb Really Save Me Money?
Yes! The savings from an energy saving bulb are twofold. Firstly, because they waste less energy and use less electricity, the savings on your electricity bill are substantial. Energy saving light bulbs last up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs and can save you £9 per year in electricity (and 38 kilograms of CO2 ) or £100 over the bulbs lifetime.
Secondly, as energy saving bulbs are built to last, you need to replace them less frequently, saving money on the cost of new bulbs.
But Don’t Energy Saving Bulbs Cost More?
Energy saving light bulbs are more expensive than traditional light bulbs when initially purchased. However, in the long term the savings on the electricity bill and lower replacement costs make it a cheaper option.
Can I Use Energy Saving Bulbs With Existing Appliances?
Energy saving bulbs can be used with older appliances such as lamps. In addition, you can now also buy low energy light fittings which will only take low energy light bulbs . These use a ballast or transformer fitted into the base of the light fitting. It controls the supply of electricity to the bulb, allowing for a small surge of power for a millisecond to light the bulb and then reducing the electricity flow to a very low level. Low energy fittings require a pin-based energy saving bulb. This is a different fitting to a conventional bulb but will ensure that the bulbs you buy in future will always save energy, money and the environment.

Light Up Your Life And Help Save Energy!
The UK’s leading supplier of light bulbs is urging Briton’s households to help save energy by switching to energy efficient light bulbs .
“Energy saving bulbs burn just as brightly but use up to 80% less electricity than a traditional bulb,” says a spokesperson for BLT Direct. “Traditional bulbs waste a lot of energy by producing heat rather than light. An energy saving bulb works much more efficiently, meaning there is less of an impact on the environment.”
Lighter and Brighter
Even installing a single energy saving bulb in a typical household is a step towards a lighter, brighter future for the planet. With just one change, the CO2 emissions saved would be enough to fill two million double decker buses. That’s the equivalent of enough energy to power every single street light in the United Kingdom for one whole year. Or a saving of around £10 on the annual electricity bill.
Light pollution caused by inefficient light bulbs and leaving light bulbs on in empty rooms both make a significant dent in the earth’s natural resources. Carbon dioxide emissions caused by power stations producing energy to run the bulbs contributes to a myriad environmental problems.
Small Steps
You may think that one light bulb won’t make much difference but if everyone made this small change, then we would see a big result. Energy saving bulbs offer just as much if not more choice than the traditional range of bulbs and lights and adapters can be bought for older appliances.”
BLT Direct offers a complete range of low energy, energy efficient and energy saving light bulbs in a variety of styles. Up to four times more efficient and lasting ten times as long as traditional bulbs, the energy-friendly range makes innovative use of modern technology to reduce overall electricity costs and consumption.
