Choosing the Appropriate Light Fixtures for Your Home

6/3/2020

3 Comments

​Unbeknownst to most people, the room lighting isn’t only for decoration; it gives effects to when you sleep and the amount of brainpower you use. So, you’ll want your home to have the proper lighting in every room, mainly because it’s where a significant portion of your life is spent.
Step 1: Consider the Function of Each Room
  • General or ambient lighting
    Also known as the “natural light” of the room, it illuminates the entire space and acts as the overall lighting. There are several light sources you can choose from - wall sconces, pendant light, track lighting, and chandeliers are all promising.
  • Task lighting
    It’s where your work is lit up. This area has to be brighter compared to your general lighting. The light will have to focus on a specific area. Cabinet kitchen lights, lampshades, and desk lamps are what are mostly used options. However, track lighting and pendants are also useful, but it may depend on the way the light is layered in your room with the brightness of the lightbulbs.

Step 2: Pick the Right Light Bulbs
The type of lightbulb you will use determines the kind of light that will radiate through the room. Here are two examples:
  • Compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs)
    Compared to incandescent light bulbs, CFLs use 75% less energy while also lasting longer. Most of the time they omit a cooler hue, but you can also find them in various brightness and temperature levels. However, CFLs contain mercury; that’s why observing proper handling is vital. How it’s disposed should also be noted.
  • LEDs
    LED’s have the same efficiency as CFL’s but lasting up to thrice as long. Back then, task lighting was their common purpose due to the direct and harsh light they provided. Now, they have long improved. They look similar to incandescents, are energy efficient, not hot to touch, and last three times longer. These benefits, however, come for a price.

Step 3: Pick Your Fixtures
Now that you’ve chosen the brightness, function, and temperature for a specific room, it’s time to decide which type of fixture is suitable to optimize those factors.
  • Ceiling mount fixtures
    Preferable for ambient lighting and ideal for hallways, bedrooms, foyers, and stairways. If you want them in halls, make sure to space them out every ten feet for the appropriate illumination.
  • Wall-mounted fixtures
    Most of the time, these are sconces and can be used for accent, task, or ambient lighting. However, it will also have to depend on the kind of bulb you’d want to use and its location.
 
Now that you have your room lighting settled, make sure to have it protected as well. Get home insurance, and you can guarantee any lightbulb in your home covered in case of damages.

Reading about what task lighting is really helped me understand what we are currently missing in our home. This feels like something we should have been making use of a long time ago, and only now have I realized how poorly illuminated some parts of our home are. I'll use this idea when I work with an electrician in the area to give our house a completely illuminated design.
