Depending on the requirements, the right choice of lighting is essential for achieving the right balance of aesthetics and practicality. In recent years LED (solid state lighting) has gained traction and a wide variety is available, boasting unparalleled energy efficiency, reliability, durability, maintenance-free usage, long-life, negligible start-up times, and cost-efficiency. However, higher initial costs mean more traditional forms are still preferred in many areas. In general, considerations should be given to the area and intensity of the illumination, energy consumption and efficiency concerns vs. long term costs of replacement, harshness of the environment, moisture, probability of corrosion, shock and vibration resistance, and how critical the light will be in terms of safety and enhancing aesthetics.
