There are many ways to improve the space in our homes but in these challenging economic times not all of us can afford brand new home furnishings or renovation projects. One of the easiest and most effective ways to transform the look of a room is through its lighting and this is particularly true of rooms we use often like kitchens and living rooms. Now, BLT Direct, the leading online providers of mercury lamps, low energy light bulbs and light fittings, have a range of affordable and stylish solutions to improve your living room lighting.

Create A Productive Workforce With BLT Direct
Praised for its ability to boost falling morale among a workforce and boost productivity, office lighting can be a huge factor in creating the right mood among your workers. Now BLT Direct, the leading providers of energy saving lightbulbs, low energy light bulbs and light fittings, are offering specialist advice on finding the correct light fittings.
If your day at the office ends in a headache, eye strain or fatigue, you could be forgiven for thinking that you need to have an opticians appointment or to take it easy, when in fact your office lighting could be to blame.
Many firms work to make sure that their rooms are evenly lit, but this can be one of the major causes of eye strain, as the eye is usually drawn to the lightest areas, and if an office is evenly lit, it can cause the eye to constantly shift to find the brightest spots.
Installing light fittings that create different angles of light, are the ideal option for any office, as they work to reflect the light, creating a less harsh effect of the eyes. An adjustable light source close to working areas is also a good idea, as this allows for the individual to choose which style of lighting is right for them, appealing to their individual needs.
BLT Direct, offer a huge range of light fittings ideal for a modern office space, from down lighters, able to create a relaxed atmosphere to track lighting able to create varied lighting angles.
With chrome fixings featuring between one and three spotlights, these lights are ideal for either the small or large office space and what’s more they are extremely cost effective, making them the ideal solution for firms making cut backs during the current economic climate.
About BLT Direct: BLT Direct are an online supplier of lighting solutions. They provide a wide range of lighting products, as well as light fittings and lamp disposal services, and are committed to offering energy efficient solutions to meet a wide range of home and business lighting needs.

BLT Direct Launch Guide To The Inner Workings Of The Light Bulb
Since Thomas Edison developed the light bulb in 1879, the world we live in has been catapulted into a lighting frenzy, with the development of outdoor lights, floodlights, torches and even energy saving lightbulbs, all aimed at making life easier, but how does the traditional light bulb work? Journalist Tina Clough spoke to BLT Direct, the leading online providers of energy saving lightbulbs, low energy light bulbs and light fittings, to find out how one of the world’s most popular creations works on a technical level.
Light bulbs have a very simple structure, which is surprising considering the candle was only pushed to one side after 1879! The base of a light bulb is made up of two metal contacts which are used to connect the ends of the electrical circuit, which are in turn connected to two stiff wires.
These stiff wires are then attached to a metal filament which sites in the centre of the bulb, held together by a glass mount. The wires and filament are both then housed inside a glass bulb which in filled with an inert gas such as argon.
When the light bulb is connected to the socket and the power supply is switched on, the electric current flows from one contact to the other, through the stiff wires and through the filament. As the electrons pass through the filament, the electric current heats the atoms up and the electrons release extra energy in the form of photons, which are visible to the human eye, causing what we call ‘light’ to be produced as a bi product.

New Light Bulb Set To Change The Face Of Lighting Forever
As scientists launch a revolutionary new light bulb, expected to last up to 60 years, Journalist Tina Clough spoke to BLT Direct, the leading online providers of energy saving lightbulbs, low energy light bulbs and light fittings, to find out what shape this new light bulb will take.
Expected to cut household bills by up to 75 per-cent, the new light bulbs are being labelled ‘revolutionary’ by experts UK wide. Utilising cheap LEDs, which emit a huge amount of light but only use a small amount of electricity, the new bulbs developed by Cambridge University are expected to last for up to 60 years and are up to 12 times more efficient than the traditional tungsten style bulb, favoured by many British households.
A Spokesman from BLT Direct, said, “The new light bulbs sound great, especially because they will prove to be not only much more efficient but cost effective too. Light bulbs are always evolving and it was on a matter of time before there was another fantastic breakthrough.”
Not only will the new bulb save us all money, it is hoped that the creation of these new bulbs will create thousands of jobs and eventually render the traditional light bulb useless. Expected to be on the market within five years the new light bulbs are set to be a permanent feature in both our homes and places of work.

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. For commercial purposes, BLT stocks a range of vandal proof bulhead fittings that are ideal for external lighting of pedestrian areas and car parks.
