Lighting in layers

• Ambient or general lighting provides light throughout the room

• Accent or decorative lighting ads interest to the décor / architecture

Pendant Lighting        

Pendant Lighting is great for creating a specific style and illumination. In Kitchens, Pendant Lighting is usually used for specific tasks, like at the breakfast table or kitchen island.

 

But in your living room, Pendant Lighting has normally been used as an accent or decorative lighting. And a good idea is to use a dimmer in the living room, for times when you need to create a softer light.

 

In bedrooms, Pendant Lighting can be very versatile and can be used, either for general illumination or for mood lighting with a dimmer switch.

 

For entrance halls, Pendant Lighting makes an ever-lasting first impression on those who pass through.

Adding a Dimmer Light Switch

A Dimmer Light Switch provides versatility. A Dimmer Light Switch can transform any room from a functional room/area to a soft entertaining room/area. And any light switch can be replaced with a Dimmer Light Switch. When you are installing LED lights, your Dimmer Light Switch can save you electricity.

The use of a Remote Lights Switch

The use of a Remote Light Switch is especially beneficial when you want to add extra lights to your house and don’t want the walls to be damaged. But in some cases, it’s not possible to add Electrical Wiring to the existing walls for a renovation. And this is when the two-way switching comes in very handy.

 

A Remote Light Switch will be perfect when you want two-way switching for upstairs and downstairs. And any type of light fitting can work with a Remote Light Switch.

Vanity lighting        

It is very important to focus your lighting efforts around the mirror/vanity. Above the mirror and along the side will remove all shadows for perfect lighting on your face.

Soft LED strip lighting could be added underneath the vanity cupboard or shower recess in order to create a specific mood and is perfect for a night light.

LED Kitchen Lighting      

Good general lighting works well in most kitchens, but task lighting is brilliant for chores, preparation, and cleaning activities.

 

LED Kitchen Lighting may be a great option since the lights in the kitchen are used a lot.  And using LED Kitchen Lighting will save Electricity.

 

Under counter LED strip lighting ads some emotion and softness to your kitchen or it can fully illuminate your work surfaces.

Dining areas    

Should you have long tables, go linear with your lighting. Should you have round tables, go round, or for a chandelier. Should you have square tables, go square or rectangular.

 

Should you want to go for Pendant Lighting, make sure that it is installed at the correct height. Your safety is most important. Opto Electrical will advise you on the correct hights, 

And remember that a  Dimmer Light Switch is essential for your dining area to change the atmosphere.
