Spotlights are an effective way of illuminating a whole room, as they can be usually adjusted to point in a direction of choice, changing as required. This is a great way of highlighting a feature such as art or seating areas and are often favoured for kitchen spotlights where certain workspaces can have multiple beams directed if desired. Ceiling spotlights consist of a base plate which is mounted to the ceiling with individual bulbs facing the direction of the user's choosing. LED spotlights are a great choice due to their long-lasting energy efficiency, helping to reduce both energy bills and a building's carbon footprint.

Description: An optical telescope is an instrument that is used to observe and study astronomical objects in visible (optical) light. Optical telescopes use mirrors (a reflecting telescope) and/or lenses (a refracting telescope) to collect and focus light. Telescopes were originally developed to observe distant objects on Earth but were soon turned to astronomical use. Telescopes can range in size from a few centimeters across to diameters of over ten meters.
