• LEDs are one of the best choices on the market due to their energy efficiency, longevity, low heat output, and small size. However, you’ll want to make sure you choose LEDs that have a color rendering index of at least 80 and a color temperature of 2700K to 3000K (K=kelvins), in order to get a more pleasant quality of light. LEDs above 4000 kelvins give off an extremely cool light.
  • The most energy efficient option right now is fluorescent lighting. This form of lighting has progressed a lot in recent years, and is now available in warmer, more flattering choices. Make sure to choose bulbs with a color rendering index of 80+ and a color temperature of 3000K or less.
