Energy-efficient Lighting Installation
To get the benefits of LED lights, you can install energy-efficient lights gradually to fit your schedule or your budget. While the upfront cost of the bulbs might be more expensive than incandescent bulbs, you will experience long-term savings with LED due to their energy-efficient capabilities.
The standard “A” base (A19) 60-watt incandescent bulb, which costs about $0.30, must be replaced about once a year and costs about $8.50 a year to operate. In comparison, the 9-watt “A” base equivalent LED bulb sells for around $9 and costs around $1 to operate annually. That means in most cases, the investment pays off in just over one year.
Why You Need a Professional To Install LED Trim Kits
While you might think you can install an LED trim kit on your own, this is not a task you can YouTube and perform. Instead, you need to hire an electrician to do the work.
A technician can ensure the kit is installed correctly, and also troubleshoot any other issues that occur. Also, while the expert is installing the kit, he or she can inspect the wiring in the light to determine if there are any repairs that need to be made.

What To Consider When Buying LED Strip Lights
When purchasing LED strip lights, there are many options you can select from. Before purchasing a set, make sure to consider the following:
- Do you need 12V or 24V? To determine this, you should match the voltage of the LED strip to the voltage of the battery or transformer you’re using as your power source. An electrician can help you figure this out.
- Do you want weatherproof lights? You should purchase a weatherproof strip if the lights will be exposed to moisture, rain, or other wet weather.
- What color of lights do you want? When purchasing lights you can determine what colors you want the bulbs to display. The RGB means only colors, RGBW means colors and white light, and RGB+ CCT means colors and white, plus the ability to change from cool to warm white temperature.
- Do you need a controller? If you want to change the lights and their colors, you will need a controller.
