You most likely think about lights and light bulbs in a general sense. Some area inside or outside of your home is dark, and that means you put the appropriate lightbulb in that place. However, there are lots of instances where you can use lights for specialized purposes. Until you run into these situations, you probably don’t think about it, but when you do require the specialization, you’d be surprised at some of the options that you have.

Think of a few different times that you may need particular types of light bulbs for a specific function. If you are trying to have the best environment possible for plants inside, you may have to purchase grow lights. In particular instances, you may need to buy germicidal lights to keep health and safety standards up. If you are concerned about the environment, you will specifically want to get energy efficient lights at home and your workplace. And then there are always the lights that are used for entertainment like at shows and concerts.

Grow Lights

There are many different reasons that you might want to purchase grow lights for an area in your home. If you have plants that need a lot of sunshine and you live somewhere that has a dark winter, then grow lights are the obvious solution. You can also use grow lights to start seedlings to get ready for the garden you plan on in the upcoming months.

Germicidal Lights

In many different professional environments, there is a requirement to cut down on or eliminate germs, bacteria, and viruses. In these instances, you may need to install germicidal lights to help combat all of these pathogens. This is particularly important in the healthcare industry, or any place where food is processed. Germicidal lights have specific properties that kill all of these nasty bugs before they can get into the surrounding environment.

Energy Efficient Lights

If you care about the environment, then you are going to want to install energy efficient lights everywhere that you can. When you buy LED light bulbs, this is the epitome of efficiency when it comes to energy use. They produce very little heat, which means that all of the electricity that they are using goes to light as opposed to light and heat, which is what incandescent, fluorescent, and CFL bulbs do.

Lights for Entertainment and Shows

A final example of specialized light and lighting would be for entertainment and shows. If you’ve ever seen recordings of a live concert, it’s incredible what people are doing in the background these days. Combinations of lights, projectors, and even pyrotechnics are center stage at a lot of the major performances these days. These types of lights are incredibly specialized and are often hooked up to a central computer system these days.
