As experts in lighting repairs and light fixture installations in Thunder Bay, we are more than capable of handling your household or commercial lighting needs. Here are some useful tips when deciding on how to brighten up your home or office:
1. LED lights are the future and the present Back in the day, incandescent lights were as ubiquitous as landline phones. These days, LED lights, although often more expensive upfront, produce more value in the long run as they use up less energy and last much longer than other forms of light bulbs. As a result, there’s less of an environmental impact as the bulbs are not thrown out as often (average of 10 years of LED light bulbs vs. a few months for incandescent light bulbs), and you may see a reduced electric bill. That’s a win-win situation! 2. Layers of light Not only is one source of light in a room not the most physically attractive, but it may not add to the functionality of the room. Most rooms in your home would benefit from layers of light: ambient light (which provides a nice base layer of illumination), task (which provides light for specific tasks - over the kitchen island, for example) and accent or decorative lighting (which provides a nice finishing touch). Some of these types of lighting can serve two or more functions. |

3. Outdoor or landscape lighting
Your home’s exterior lighting is just as important as its interior lighting, as they provide safety and security. Lighting is strategically placed to illuminate any potential dark pockets where trips and falls can be prevented, such as entryway stairs. In terms of security, a timer or motion sensor lighting system can deter potential intruders, with the bonus of saving energy when not in use.
4. Dimmer switches
Some rooms can benefit greatly from the addition of a dimmer switch to set the mood and to accommodate the various lights throughout the day. Think about adding a dimmer switch to a bedroom, washroom, basement or home theatre, or any room where you won’t need a constant stream of bright light.
5. Choosing the right size and brightness of light fixtures
This is an important consideration. If a room is too dark, it can impede its functionality. If too bright, it can cause an uncomfortable viewing environment. Both scenarios can cause eye strain. So if you’re unsure of how many lumens a light fixture should be, how many to include or even the size and location of it, feel free to call us for guidance. It’s best to do it right the first time around rather than guessing haphazardly these factors and then having to go back and fix it.
