There are 3 types of lighting; general, task, and accent. General provides overall light. Task helps with specific tasks such as reading, cooking, or hobbies. Accent provides visual interest and illuminates something specifically. A well lit room will have a combination of the three. Meet with our experienced sales staff to plan your perfectly lit space.

Want the safety of an outdoor light, but don't want to pay for leaving it on when not needed? Install a motion detector and save money and your peace of mind.

Bathroom lighting should be even and shadow free to complete tasks such as shaving or applying make-up.

5 }

General lighting in a room often isn't enough to illuminate what's in or on your cabinets. Try adding under cabinet lighting to give the items displayed some extra attention.

6 }

Cabinet lighting should be mounted closer to the front of the cabinet rather than the back. This is because it allows the light to illuminate the object below more easily.

Wall grazing can provide dramatic effect to textured surfaces. When doing wall grazing the light should be brighter, uneven, and scalloped at the top of the wall.

Think of adding color effects to your lighting to add warmth or vitality.

Use accent lighting to highlight pictures, art, houseplants, or anything else you want to show off.

Dimming controls provide worthwhile results. With dimming you can conserve energy, increase bulb life, change the mood of the room, and even fluctuate the intensity of the light to coincide with the task at hand.

Having the lighting for a display come from different directions can add a dimensional quality to your display.

When installing a porch light be sure the positioning of the fixture does NOT shine in someone's eyes as they approach.

13 }

Placing lighting along stairs, walkways, railings, porches, or benches doesn't only illuminate, but provide safety at the same time.

14 }

Put all outdoor lighting on a timer. Having the timer go off at a certain time assures that you won't be contributing to light pollution or adding unnecessarily to your bills.

For outdoor lighting be sure to choose "Dark Sky Friendly" fixtures. Help your neighbors and yourself enjoy the nighttime sky and be kind to the animals at the same time as light pollution disrupts their habitats.
