Hinkley Lighting Gallery Urges Use of Dark Sky-Rated Fixtures for Home Lighting
San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) August 15, 2011
Hinkley Lighting Gallery, a leading online vendor of Hinkley Lighting fixtures, is urging homeowners to light up their outdoor spaces the ‘Green way’ by encouraging the use of outdoor lighting fixtures rated by the International Dark Sky Association. Hinkley Lighting Gallery has been carrying Dark Sky light fixtures for over a year and reiterates its advocacy of eco-friendly lighting as the city of Boston implements a push towards sustainability.
With the help of Hurry Associates, Boston has replaced more than 14,000 mercury-vapor street and roadway lights with Philips Hadco’s light-emitting diodes (LED), the New RX1 and RX2. According to a press release distributed by Philips Electronics North America, these light bulbs maximize energy savings while providing a relaxing and appealing white light. The city is expected to save around $ 1.1 million annually in electricity costs by cutting an estimated 8.9 million kilowatt hours of energy consumption because of this simple and easy change. Since Philips LEDs are designed to last for about 18 years—four times longer than the lamps replaced—the city will also save on maintenance costs. Completed installation is scheduled for December 2011.
The International Dark Sky Association was founded in 1988 to call attention to the hazards of light pollution. As the recognized authority on light pollution, they aim to advance public awareness on energy-efficient alternatives, such as reducing energy use through quality outdoor lighting.
“Carrying Dark Sky fixtures is one way Hinkley Lighting Gallery shows its support for sustainable initiatives,” says Karishma Baijal, spokesperson for the Company. “Hinkley Lighting Gallery light fixtures combine aesthetics and function to suit the needs of modern homeowners, part of which means offering environmentally-sound options for home lighting.” On behalf of Hinkley Lighting Gallery, Baijal suggests homeowners incorporate Dark Sky-rated light fixtures into their home lighting plan to assist environmental protection initiative while saving on energy bills. Dark Sky fixtures from Hinkley Lighting Gallery can be installed or updated during any season, but are the perfect addition to end-of summer remodels.
Aside from its Dark Sky-rated fixtures, Hinkley Lighting Gallery offers other elegant items and fixtures that provide excellent lighting for homes. Exquisite kitchen lighting that utilizes LED fixtures can be a stylish and sustainable, addition to any home. Aside from Dark Sky-rated lighting, Hinkley Lighting Gallery also offers LED and CFL compatible fixtures. The Company would also like to remind homeowners that LEDs and CFLs are smart ways to reduce energy usage and help the environment while lighting your home, from bathroom lighting to outdoor lighting.
Ms. Baijal closes: “Energy-efficient light fixtures and bulbs are an important contribution to the global effort to save the planet. Dark Sky-rated light fixtures improve energy output, lower electricity costs, and help reduce light pollution all without sacrificing style and function.”
