One of the things that you have to decide on when you are decorating your home is the type of lighting fixtures that you are going to choose. There are some who would choose halogen lamps because of their appearance, but some people know that in terms of energy efficiency, fluorescent lamps are better.
Fluorescent lamps also tend to have a longer life span as compared to halogen lamps, and the heat that they will produce is not as high as the heat that will be released by halogen lamps. If you would like something cheaper, though, halogen lamps are the better option. There are usually a lot of designs to choose from.
