Recessed can lighting is used inside many homes due to its sleek, unobtrusive design and ability to complement any style. However, recessed can lights use incandescent bulbs, which produce heat and consume more energy resulting in higher electricity bills. This energy inefficiency and environmental unfriendliness have caused the incandescent bulb to be banned in many countries and is scheduled to be discontinued in the U.S. beginning 2012.
So, what is the solution?

TLC Electrical can modernize your home’s recessed can lights by converting them to LED recessed can lights. This new technology allows you to maintain the look and convenience of home recessed lighting, and to become energy efficient and environmentally friendly. A simple process, retrofitting your home’s recessed light cans maintains your light output while at the same time, reduces your heat load. In addition LED recessed can lights are air-tight, preventing transfer of cool or heated air to escape through to the attic, further reducing energy costs. Our expert electricians will remove your existing recessed can lights and install new LED recessed can lights.
The benefits of converting your home’s recessed can lighting to LED recessed can lighting:
The incandescent bulb produces 90 percent heat and only 10 percent light. For this reason, federal laws will prohibit the sale of some incandescent bulbs in the United States starting next year. Incandescents aren’t being banned altogether, but most new bulbs will have to use 25 percent to 30 percent less energy. While some incandescents already meet those standards, production of many traditional incandescent bulbs will be phased out between 2012 and 2014.
