A New Light on Great Lighting.

Taking the amount of lighting you need in a space into consideration can set the mood.

Great lighting sets the stage in a room. Too much and the room will not be used. Too little and the room will be unusable. The best option is to use lamps, that you can turn on and off as use dictates.

There are many options for the amount of light on a room. Lamps, as I stated before, give you the amount when and where you ant and need it. Dimmers are a great option, because you can control the amount of light that you need. Motion sensors allow the light to come on when it is use, and off when it is not. We have many motion sensors in our house and they are great for my absent mindedness (and my electric bill).

The mood that you set in a room will make or break the use of the room. Different room require different lighting. A play room would be best suited for bright overhead flouresence lights. A study lighting is better with direct controlled lamps and floods. Kitchens need a bright overhead, usually best controlled with a dimmer. Dining rooms are best with, a dimmer controlled chandalier in the center of the room. These are just guidlines, all your rooms are subject to your taste and your use.

See how you use a room and let that dictate how the lighting structure you set. Great lighting is something that takes time and trial and error. Have fun.

The adage of you will hut your eyes if you read it too little light. Is a myth. Your eyes are increadile wirks of art that will compensate for the light difference.
