Lighting can make a big difference in the interior environment of your home. Good lighting helps us to see better and perform tasks more easily. It also provides safety, security and a sense of comfort. Lighting and lighting controls also provide us with the flexibility to adjust and adapt the mood and ambience of our homes.

Lighting adds beauty and drama to a room. It can make a small room look open and airy, and a large room comfortable and inviting. It can create a stimulating atmosphere for a night of entertaining, or a comfortable feeling of relaxation after a long, tiring day.

Lighting fixtures are an ideal accessory to supplement the interior decor of your house. With an unlimited range of styles, shapes, colors and sizes, lighting fixtures can provide the finishing touch to a comprehensive interior design scheme.

Determining Your Needs

Lighting should be planned to complement your lifestyle. To accomplish a comprehensive and successful lighting solution, it is best to develop a home lighting plan that meets your individual needs and those of your family.

When planning your lighting:

• Identify the activities that occur in each room (reading, food preparation, hobby work, grooming, laundry, homework, etc.).


• Identify the mood or ambience that you want to create.


• Identify the decorative elements you wish to emphasize.


• Keep in mind that dark colors absorb much light, and therefore it is necessary to provide supplementary light in spaces with dark wall colors and finishes.


• When remodeling, it is important to note the extent of the remodeling and identify the existing electrical locations.


• Also, Identify those areas serving more than a single purpose and those that will require more than one type of lighting.

If you need assistance with your plan, a Certified Lighting Consultant or Lighting Specialist at LightingandCeilingFans.com will be happy to help.

Lighting and Ceiling Fans.com are big fans of green design. We prefer either fluorescent or LED (exept for the bulbs in the fridge and the oven).

Efficient lighting starts with a light source that provides the required amount of light for the fewest watts of power. For general lighting where standard household incandescent bulbs have traditionally been used, the most efficient light source choice now is compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). In some applications, such as under-cabinet lighting in a kitchen, lighting emitting diodes or LEDs are probably the most efficient choice because they are efficient at providing a small amount of light in a given direction. Has the job of choosing the “most efficient” light source become more complicated? Yes! There are more technology choices and the correct choice may involve more than simply comparing the light output and wattage numbers printed on the lamp carton. More then ever before, the specifier or purchaser of lighting fixtures needs more information and help to make the proper lighting choice that will not only save energy, but also result in quality lighting which satisfies the needs of the user. In 2007, the “ban-the-bulb” legislative efforts in countries around the world and several U.S. states confirmed that it is not only critical to increase consumer education; but that the opportunity to improve residential lighting efficiency has become compelling. Below is some information about today’s lighting technology which will help you make those energy-efficient choices.

Aging Population Needs More Light

The average 55 year old needs twice as much light to see as well as a 25 year old. The thickening and yellowing of the eye’s lens as we age decreases the amount of light making it into the eye. Further, the thickening lens scatters light within the eye, making glare more of a problem for older eyes. So more light is required, and it needs to be well designed to prevent glare. As the population ages, demand for lighting will continue to increase.

Significant improvements in compact and linear fluorescent lighting technology are resulting in high-efficiency light sources that provide excellent color and light output, as well as long life. Good design also plays a critical role in the overall effectiveness of all home lighting, particularly energy-efficient lighting. Lighting and Ceiling Fans provides resources to assist homebuilders, designers, and consumers in selecting and using ENERGY STAR® lighting in the home.
