If your home was built between the 1980s and early 2000s, you might still be dealing with outdated fluorescent lighting in your kitchen and bathrooms. At the time, energy codes required fluorescent fixtures in certain areas of the home as a way to reduce power consumption. While the idea was good in theory, the reality was frustrating—these fixtures were bulky, expensive, and often provided dim, flickering, or uneven lighting. Worse yet, finding replacement bulbs became a hassle as newer, more efficient technologies emerged.

Thankfully, those days are behind us. While energy savings are still a priority, fluorescent lighting is no longer the best solution. Today, LED technology offers a superior alternative—providing brighter, more natural light while using even less energy. LED fixtures last up to 20 years or more, meaning you may never have to replace a bulb again. They also turn on instantly, eliminating the annoying flickering and slow warm-up time that fluorescent lights are known for. Plus, with modern designs, LED recessed lighting can completely transform the look and feel of your home, making spaces feel cleaner, brighter, and more inviting.
