Aside from enhancing ambiance, dimmers also contribute to energy efficiency and cost savings. Traditional light switches provide only two options: on or off. This means that even when you don’t need full brightness, you end up using the same amount of energy. However, by installing dimmers, you have the ability to tailor your lighting to match your needs, reducing energy consumption and extending the lifespan of your bulbs.
Dimmers control the flow of electricity to the bulbs, which results in lower wattage usage and reduced energy consumption. By dimming the lights by 50%, you can potentially save up to 40% on your energy costs. Additionally, dimming your lights helps to prolong the life of your bulbs, reducing the frequency of replacements and saving you money in the long run.
