Planning a Domestic Lighting Solution
When you are planning a domestic lighting solution there are a few things to take into consideration. You will need to think about how you will use a space and then calculate how much light, or lumens, you require. An experienced electrician can help you determine how many lumens are appropriate for your room and ensure your lighting design works as you would like it to. You will also need to consider what style of lighting you would like to use. This is a matter of personal taste and should coordinate with your home’s existing style. Once you have determined the function of your lighting and thought about the style you would like, you can begin the actual design of your lighting solution.
Layers of lighting
Layers of lighting create a beautiful and useful domestic lighting solution. They allow you to customise your lighting to different situations and create your desired ambience. Your domestic lighting electrician will be able to advise you on which lights will best suit your space and needs. The different layers of lighting are:
General light - also described as ambient lighting. Often a central light within a room. A general light is your main light source. It is the light you switch on when you want to fully illuminate a room.
Mood lighting – Mood lighting is the area where you can add the most personality to your domestic lighting. You many want to add wall lights to add interest to an area or picture lights to highlight a favourite piece of art. Mood lighting is infinitely customisable and can create the perfect ambience in your room.
Task lights - this is a bright light installed exactly where you will need it. This may be a light above a desk in an office space or under-cupboard lighting in a kitchen to provide good light when preparing food. Task lighting solutions require careful consideration as to how you will use a space. Once you have decided what tasks will be performed in an area, we can design a lighting solution that will complement them exactly.
