Perfect Lighting for the Perfect Interior

You make a significant investments in soft furnishings and interiors. Bland one dimensional lighting doesn't do this justice.
Multi-layered lighting can make the most of your interiors.By organizing your lighting as a group of scenes you can set a
group of lights into your room simply by the press of a single button rather than an array of buzzing dimmer switches.

Think Activities not Lights

Adding layers of lighting to your rooms using ceiling, wall, table and standard lamps may seem complicated. But in most rooms the scenes correspond to a few activities, watch TV, reading, listening to music etc.

Think Outside of the Room.

Traditionally light switches have only controlled the lights within a room. With lighting control you can have a switch by the bed that sets the house into night mode with all main areas switched off and low level lighting in corridors.

Automate

Movement sensors can switch lights on as you enter rooms, especially useful for guests or the elderly.

Integrate

Switches don't just have to control lights, control your music or heating from the same keypad.

Principles of Lighting Design

The secret to good lighting design is to think of the five major areas of lighting that are required in each room. You must also consider Kinetic Lighting ,this is the light from a fireplace, candles or even a TV screen that will add to the lighting scene.

* Ambient Lighting

This is the main general lighting in the room, this could be downlights, a pendant or concealed coving lighting.

* Accent Lighting

This is the lighting used to highlight a particular object or architectural feature. A picture light is an obvious example.

* Decorative Lighting

Light fittings that are decorative in their own right; statement pieces. Modern pieces or traditional table lamps.

* Layering

Successful lighting design uses each of these types of lighting in layers to create the overall effect.

* Task Lighting

This is the lighting you might need in a living room to read with, the shadow free under cabinet lights in your kitchen or the lamp on your desk.
