Frequently Asked Questions About Lighting Services

What are the main types of lighting?

Task, accent, and ambient or general lighting work together in your home or business to minimize shadows, highlight visually interesting areas, and provide overall illumination. Depending on a room’s function, all three types can be used to create spaces for relaxation, working, and sharing time with friends and family.

How many recessed lights should I use per room?

This is a common question that has no simple answer. Many variables come into play when installing recessed lighting, including a ceiling’s height, the room’s overall lighting needs, and the type of recessed downlight you want to use. Many home and business owners often opt to “overlight” certain rooms or areas and then control recessed lights with dimmers.

What are the benefits of dimmers?

Dimmers can be a highly functional lighting choice, allowing you to vary the amount of light used in given areas. They also help you save on electricity costs and increase bulb life.
