Are you still using traditional lighting in your homes and businesses? It's time to make the switch to LED, and here's why:

🌿 Energy Efficiency: LED lights are incredibly energy-efficient, consuming up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. This not only saves you money on your electricity bills but also reduces your carbon footprint. 🌍💰

💡 Longevity: LED lights last much longer than traditional bulbs, with a lifespan of up to 25,000 hours or more! Say goodbye to constantly changing bulbs and hello to fewer maintenance costs. 🕰️💰

💎 Superior Quality: LED lighting offers a superior quality of light with no flickering and instant brightness. You'll experience consistent, high-quality illumination that's easy on the eyes. 😌🌟

💪 Durability: LEDs are solid-state lights, making them more robust and resistant to shocks and vibrations. They are perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications. 🌦️🔧

🌈 Versatility: LED lighting comes in a wide range of color temperatures, from warm to cool white, and can be easily dimmed to create the perfect ambiance for any setting. 💫🎨

💯 Instant On: Unlike some energy-saving bulbs, LEDs provide instant full brightness without any warm-up time. No more waiting for your lights to reach their full potential! 💡

Don't miss out on the incredible benefits of LED lighting. Make the change today and experience a brighter, more energy-efficient future! ✨💚

✨⏰ Don't Miss Out on the Brighter Days Ahead with Daylight Savings in New Zealand! ⏰✨

Hello, New Zealanders!

As a lighting manufacturer passionate about the profound impact of light on our lives, we're excited to remind you that Daylight Savings Time is just around the corner! 🌞🕒

On Sunday, September 24, we'll all be setting our clocks forward by one hour, and here's why it matters beyond just changing the time:

🌅 Embrace the Light: Daylight Savings is all about making the most of the natural light available to us. The longer daylight hours not only brighten our surroundings but also uplift our spirits and enhance our productivity.

🌙 Harmonize with Your Circadian Rhythm: Our bodies have an internal clock, our circadian rhythm, which is influenced by the amount of light we're exposed to. With more daylight in the evening, we're aligning our daily routines with this natural rhythm. This can lead to better sleep patterns, improved mood, and increased overall well-being.

💡 Upgrade Your Lighting: As lighting enthusiasts, we encourage you to take this opportunity to review your lighting setups. Optimize your indoor spaces with energy-efficient, daylight-mimicking LED lighting to ensure you're getting the right light at the right times.

Here's how you can make the most of Daylight Savings:

1️⃣ Revamp Your Lighting: Consider installing smart lighting solutions that can adjust brightness and color temperature throughout the day to mimic natural light.

2️⃣ Go Green with LEDs: Switch to energy-efficient LED bulbs and fixtures to not only save on energy costs but also reduce your carbon footprint.

3️⃣ Outdoor Illumination: Enhance your outdoor spaces with well-placed lighting to extend your enjoyment of those beautiful Kiwi evenings.

Remember, it's not just about moving the clock hands; it's about embracing the light and making it work for you. Let's take this opportunity to illuminate our lives with positivity and energy!

🌞 Share this reminder with your friends and family, and let's light up New Zealand together! 🇳🇿💡

Flashback to when we took over the business, so much has changed in the last couple of years!

Of course Mike had already been with The Lighting Workshop for more than a decade by now, but when John sadly passed we decided the right move was to take on the business and continue with his lighting legacy.
