North London-based lighting and electrical wholesaler, Sparks Direct has launched a huge new range of xenon light bulbs and xenon compatible light fixtures to benefit the environment.

Xenon lighting has become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to the heightened level of illumination xenon lights offer and their exceptional life span when compared to ordinary lights.

Xenon lights differ from ordinary light bulbs because xenon gas has been introduced into the glass envelope of the light bulb.

Xenon, along with neon, helium, argon and krypton, is an inert (or noble) element. This means it is a stable substance and not prone to combustion, making it perfect for use in both household and commercial lighting. Xenon gas is also used in anaesthesia.

Xenon light bulbs can last for up to 20,000 hours (that's the equivalent of almost three years), whilst the average 60 watt household bulb has an average lifespan of a comparatively paltry 1000-2000 hours. Xenon light bulbs are also significantly cooler than halogen ...
... bulbs, which run at extremely high temperatures and add to global warming.

Xenon bulbs can be used in all fixtures that currently use halogen bulbs provided the wattage is the same. This makes Xenon lighting far more environmentally friendly than ordinary light bulbs (which the UK government plans to phase out altogether by 2012).

Xenon bulbs are fully dimmable; in fact this is encouraged as it increases the rated life of the bulb. Xenon lights are available for use with various lighting fixtures and fittings including wall light fixtures, ceiling lights, bathroom lighting and are suitable for outdoor use with garden light fittings which can be programmed through sensor technology to illuminate the garden after sunset.

Sparks Direct has launched its Spring Sale 2009 online and in-store at the Archway, North London-based shop where customers can find hundreds of incredible price-drops on a range of lamps, wall mounted light fixtures, ceiling cavity lights, xenon, halogen and other bulbs and switches and sockets in a variety of plastic and metal finishes.
