Lighting Tips & Resources

What are some lighting tips for living rooms?


General Lighting
Lighting for social gatherings needs to be 5 to 10 foot candles. Recessed lighting is one of the preferred ways to light a general area because the light source is concealed. Close to ceiling or decorative fluorescent fixtures can provide ample lighting.

Accent Lighting
Recessed or track fixtures help to make rooms come alive through accenting artwork, wall washing or grazing. Low voltage strip lighting such as 'Hide A Lite' helps create drama in book cases.

Task Lighting
Visual tasks such as reading, playing games, or hobbies requires at least 20 foot candles. Recessed, track, or pendants can provide ample light for tasks.
