Home Lighting
Home Building Tip
May we suggest decorative ceiling fans in the living rooms, kitchen and bedrooms. They operate to circulate air for full comfort and air quality.
TIP: Electrical installation requires an understanding of wiring and building codes. We suggest using a pre-screened electrical contractor within your area to price the job you need done.

About Home Lighting
| Light Up Your Home Lighting Style |
from our "home remodeling" project library
Do you want to give your house a major facelift--without the cost, hassle, and stress of major renovation? Consider a lighting lift. New lighting can revolutionize the look of a room, and if done with your whole house in mind, it can make your home feel warmer, cozier and more put together.
A new trend in lighting technology is energy efficient lighting. Green lighting doesn't mean green--it means saving you some green. Energy efficient home lighting is cheaper than normal lighting--so it can cut your electricity bills significantly.
Basically, florescent lighting is out. (Although, was it ever really in?). Soft, mood lighting is in. Light fixtures that allow you to dim the lights help create the right atmosphere and bulbs made specifically for home lighting help as well.
Instead of having one major lighting fixture in the middle of a room--a chandelier, a fan with light bulbs, one major lamp, you should consider track lighting or multiple, smaller lights all the way around the room. This lighting technology gives you many more options about where to shine lamps and how bright to make them.
It may seem too obvious, but its not. Finding the right lamp lighting for a room is an important task: the lamp should contribute to the overall feel of the room, add to its design, while also offering the right shade of lighting. Bulbs and other lighting technology can be adjusted to create the right tone and brightness of a lamp. Enjoy your lighting endeavors. |
