Natural Light

• First light source to consider.
• Sunlight that enters the house through windows,
  doors, skylights, etc.
• North or EastCool, bluish cast
• South or WestWarm, orange tones

3
Incandescent Light

• Light bulb most people use.
• Burns about 700-1000 hours.
• Incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe
  makes light by heating a metal filament wire to a
  high temperature until it glows ...

4
Fluorescent Lighting

• Lasts up to ten times longer than an incandescent
  bulb.
• Use less electricity and produce no damaging
  heat.
• Not as homey and comfortable.

5
Compact Fluorescent Light

• Can save more than 40 in electricity costs over
  its lifetime
• Uses about 75 less energy than standard
  incandescent bulbs and lasts up to 10 times
  longer
• Produces about 75 less heat, so it's safer to
  operate and can cut energy costs associated with
  home cooling

6
Halogen Lighting

• Lamp is kept brighter than incandescent bulbs.
• Light is more similar to that of sunlight.
• Bulbs burn whiter than incandescent bulbs.
• Electricity heats this filament up to about 4,500
  degrees F (2,500 degrees Celsius). Just like any
  hot metal, the tungsten gets "white hot" at that
  heat and emits a great deal of visible light in a
  process called incandescence
