LED Lights The Way For Crystal Chandeliers



Crystal chandeliers use a lot of bulbs and consume a lot of electricity to give that dazzling bright effect that they do. Up until now you had to use incandescent bulbs to light up that crystal chandelier. These bulbs consumed a lot of electricity and not all of that power was converted to light, in fact most of the electricity used by an incandescent bulb is wasted by turning it into heat energy. Though the incandescent bulb has been with us ever since electricity was used for lighting, the bulb itself has changed very little since it was first invented.

With newer technologies emerging there are now much more efficient ways to use electricity for lighting. The foremost of those technologies have two types of bulbs ready in the market. One is the compact fluorescent bulb and the other is a LED bulb. Both these types of bulbs are more expensive than the incandescent bulbs but in the long run they are cheaper. The LED bulb is an emerging technology and the price of these bulbs is very high at the moment. These bulbs are expected to be the bulbs of the future since they consume the least amount of electricity for the amount of light they produce, are non hazardous when disposed of and have a life of around 30,000 hours. The price of these bulbs is expected to come down tremendously over the next couple of years as the technology advances and better methods are found for their manufacture. So in the near future you will be able to enjoy those beautiful crystalchandeliers without having to pay a bundle for the electricity that they consume.

The New Crystal Chandelier For Christmas? Yes!!


When it’s time to decorate for another Christmas season, most of us turn to the same ornaments and decorations that we use every year.  To most people, Christmas décor is the Christmas tree, some Christmas lights and a wreath on the front door.  But maybe this year it would be nice to buy something new.  Most people have probably never considered crystal chandeliers to decorate their home at Christmastime.

Christmas themed crystal chandeliers are a creative option to add something new to the festivities.  Maybe you wanted to buy a new chandelier anyway - Christmas is the perfect excuse.  The crystal chandeliers are specially designed with the decorations already in place and add elegance to any room.

If you are not looking to buy anything new this year, try using your existing decorations in a new way such as decorating your crystal chandeliers with ornaments.  Even if you have elaborate crystal chandeliers, you can decorate them with just a few ornaments.  The crystal chandeliers will keep their elegance but still look festive.

Keep the holiday spirit alive with beautifully decorated crystalchandeliers.  Your elegant Christmas décor is sure to be enjoyed by all this holiday season!

Be Creative In Choosing A Dining Room Chandelier



Styles and tastes have changed over the decades and this makes choosing the right crystal chandelier for your dining room a lot different then it was just a couple of decades ago.  Using a bit of creativity when choosing your dining room chandelier will go a long way into your dining room glow with your own personality and style.

Unless you have an old fashioned home forget about those heavy beaded crystal or brass chandeliers and go for a more open and airy look.  If you want a crystal chandelier to decorate your dining room choose one of the lighter and more airy designs like a sphere with a recessed light above that really really allows the crystal to catch the light in an appealing way.  Or hang two or three small orb crystal chandeliers the length of a long dining room table to give your dining room a more elegant and sophisticated look.

Or if Crystal chandeliers are not your think try hanging a chandelier that has bright red or blue glass in mostly white dining room or find one that looks like a plant in bloom.  When it comes to choosing crystal chandeliers these days the sky the limit so let your imagination soar!
