When looking at kitchen remodeling contractors in LA, consider one that can work with you to achieve both stylish and energy efficient results. Popular kitchen design trends in 2013 range from retro to modernistic, and from art deco to classic. Innovations in LED lighting can help one to carry out a creative vision while simultaneously cutting electricity costs.
Kitchens can get warm, and LEDs virtually eliminate the heat typically generated by halogens, incandescents, and fluorescents. Dimmable LED lights can be brightened for food preparation and then later dimmed for mood. LED rope and/or tape lights offer beautiful accent lighting under cabinets, behind crown moldings, and in coves. Such lighting is offered in cool whites, warm whites, and in many colors. It can therefore be readily integrated into almost any design concept from vintage to ultra-modern.
LED light patterns can be extremely varied. Light can be broadly and evenly dispersed when desired. Such light will typically be less 'spotty' than that which it replaces. This feature is particularly welcome in kitchens, where detailed activities benefit from even lighting. At the same time, spot and accent lighting can be focused exactly where it is wanted. One can essentially 'paint with light.'
Energy costs have steadily risen in southern California since the start of the 21st century, and LEDs perfectly address this issue. A conversion to LED lighting can reduce energy costs by 50-90 percent. In fact, Southern California Edison (SCE) cites energy savings as high as 98 percent compared to some incandescents. SCE also sees other LED advantages. Tungsten and glass are not required because there is no filament. Toxic elements like mercury and lead are not present.
