Are You Eco Friendly? Being eco-friendly is just a question of making choices throughout your daily life. For example, having ecolight and light fixtures is key to greening your space
lighting is one of the most critical, and most visceral qualities of an indoor space
it is a decorative addition to your life that will affect the way you feel and function. Lighting also affects the environment in several ways: the amount of energy consumed by each light and the materials used to manufacture it. Hopefully, designers from SDWorks Hong Kong PolyU give us Eco friendly solutions to improve our Green Living
