Lighting design for your home
Lighting in a home changes the mood of a room just as it does the perceived size of a room. Placement and type are important aspects of interior design, and they work in conjunction with colour selections, room size, availability of natural light and furniture selection. The elements that come together when the right lighting is achieved transform a room into a seamless combination of functionality and style.
Colour
The use of lighting can add to or subtract from the overall colours of a room or from only those surfaces the light is meant to enhance. Darker colours make a room feel smaller and cramped, while light-coloured walls do the opposite. The illusion of space is defined by light being reflected off the surfaces of the walls. In addition, directional lighting, such as a track light, can soften the wall colours. There are also recessed ceiling downlights, which can have a soft downward glow, highlighting features and walkways. In all cases, these can affect how light or dark a coloured section can appear.
Directional Lighting
The lighting in a room either provides illumination for the entirety of the room or highlights very specific elements. Recessed low-glare directional LED downlights are a perfect example of positional lighting. Recessed into the ceiling, the adjustable lamp insert can be pointed at specific elements, such as a wall painting, a vase of flowers on a hallway table or onto a kitchen island. Special picture and mirror frames also have built-in lighting to highlight specific areas on a wall. Recessed or surface-mounted lighting can be used in floors and ceilings to create vertical beams of light as opposed to an overall glow from central light fixtures hanging from a ceiling.
Functionality
One major role of lighting in the interior setting is functionality. Lighting needs to serve a purpose. Chandeliers are not only used in large, open foyers, hallways and rooms because of their centrally-themed placement, but also because they provide excellent illumination for the room. Wall lights add length and size, visually, to a hallway, as well as light the way. Considering the style of lighting required ensures you get the best directional or luminescent type for the setting, for example task-specific lighting for desks and other work areas, where functionality is more important than overall room illumination.

Exterior lighting for your home
or business
In the daytime most properties are easily visible to individuals driving, walking or riding by, however, at night, some properties struggle to make their entryways and signage clearly visible. The addition of strategically-placed landscape lighting can make a huge impact both on the basic visibility of a property, and also on the overall aesthetics of the site. There are several distinct advantages to adding exterior and landscaping lighting to properties.
Safety of property and people
One of the most immediate benefits of adding landscape lighting to commercial properties is the increase in personal safety for employees, customers and guests. Strategic landscape lighting reduces the likelihood of falls and trips, reducing potential liability for commercial property owners. In addition, landscape lighting can keep visitors and employees safe from thieves or other criminals by eliminating hiding places, and also reduces burglaries and property theft.
Stunning evening views
Landscape lighting can help create dramatic and beautiful views for both domestic and commercial sites by highlighting property features, such as seasonal plants and flowers, water fountains and architectural focal points. When done correctly, landscape lighting on sites will offer flattering views of trees, plants, buildings and landscape décor that might otherwise look ordinary in the daytime. The neighbouring community also benefits by having a beautiful landscape to enjoy in the evening.
Competitive advantage
Commercial property owners who choose landscape lighting give their business a competitive edge over nearby businesses. Strategic landscape lighting allows nighttime drivers and pedestrians to clearly see business signs, entrances, parking and walking areas. Creative lighting features also help businesses to stand out and attract positive attention.
Well-Lit Exteriors Reduce the Potential For Intruders
Whatever choices you make concerning your home or business security systems, a well-lit exterior is the foundation. A clearly lit garden or driveway acts as a deterrent to burglars who prefer to work under the cover of shadows. It also provides peace of mind for members of the family, or employees who may be arriving or leaving the premises in the dark. When used in conjunction with CCTV, security lighting vastly improves the quality of the images recorded.
Exterior lighting options:
Motion-Detection Lighting
Having your property exterior clearly lit throughout the hours of darkness can prove expensive. A more energy-friendly solution is to install lighting which responds to movement. Our engineers will examine your property for likely entry points and place motion sensors at strategic points. Bright lights will be triggered if movement is detected.
Dusk to Dawn Lights
These fixtures are fitted with special photo sensors which trigger them to automatically turn on and off with the setting and rising of the sun. They are an easy way to ensure your outdoor lighting is on only when needed.
