Our bathrooms are one of the most important rooms in our home. We spend a great deal of time in them preparing for our day, during the day for quick touch-ups and in the evening to wash away the day's stress and tension. The lighting we choose for our bathrooms is essential for creating just the right atmosphere in this multi-tasking room.
When considering lighting options, think about the overall look and style of the bathroom in which you are installing the ceiling light fixtures. Whether it is a flush or semi-flush ceiling mount, it should compliment the d'cor of your bathroom and at the same time provide the proper lighting. For smaller bathrooms, consider light fixtures on a smaller scale. More spacious bathrooms can accommodate larger and more ornate fixtures. A smaller bathroom might only require one or two light fixtures, whereas a larger bathroom space might need several ceiling light fixtures. No matter what style of ceiling lighting you choose, it should fit the overall look of the bathroom and add to the ambiance.
Some examples of the ceiling lighting fixtures available for your bathroom would be recessed lighting fixtures, flush-mounted, semi-flush mounted, fixtures for chandeliers, monorail lighting or energy-efficient ceiling light fixtures. Thankfully, they come in styles that will accentuate and beautify just about any d'cor. Their styles can be anything from rustic, Tiffany, traditional, trendy and stylish, Victorian, very conventional, or tropical, to name a few. Installing a dimmer on your ceiling light fixtures might be a consideration since there are many tasks for which a bathroom is used. Shaving, brushing teeth, applying makeup, styling hair, reading, relaxing, and showering are simply a few of the things we do in our bathrooms. Each activity requires a different level of light. For relaxing in a bath, soft light would be welcomed. For shaving, flossing our teeth or for the times we need to clean the bathroom, a brighter level of light would be desired. Indirect lighting fixtures would be a welcome choice in a bathroom with a lot of counter space and a large, reflective floor space. The indirect light will help reduce the glare on the eyes and the visual fatigue that can develop when someone is constantly in direct lighting.
Just as in any other room of your home, an important consideration when choosing a ceiling light fixture is to determine how much light the fixture will diffuse or disperse into space. If the fixture is beautiful, but isn't efficient, will absorb too much of the light, or won't take light bulbs that will sufficiently light up your space, then you are wasting your money. Always search for those lighting choices that will maximize the efficiency of the light bulbs and highlight your unique bathroom d'cor. Last, but not least, don't forget to consider color, finish and height from the floor when installing your bathroom ceiling light fixture. No one should have to bend over to avoid hitting a fixture with their head. Remember these simple guidelines, and you'll have purposeful and attractive ceiling light fixtures complimenting your bathroom's d'cor.
Well lights are concealed fixtures partially mounted within the ground that provide a distinctive form of up lighting that creates the optical effect of light emanating upward from the earth itself. Grade level well lights can accent both landscape and architectural feature, providing ambient and accent lighting for trees, monuments, gardens, atriums, and foliage. Whenever there is a need to accent any outdoor feature with an element of mystery, a well lighting fixture is almost universally the right choice for the task.
While well lights are primarily accent lights, there are some functional benefits certain types of lamps offer. In the commercial arena, business owners almost always prefer high voltage well lighting due to the exceptionally bright luminance produced by HID floodlights. Floodlights are either mercury vapor or metal halide fixtures. Metal halide typically forms a perimeter of light that encircles the property. Mercury vapor lights are more commonly used to up light trees from the ground up, although in many cases when the tree line is close to the property line the two types of fixtures can be used in tandem for even greater security and aesthetic.
Residential clients tend to gravitate more toward low voltage well lights or a hybridization of low voltage and high voltage fixtures. If a yard is big enough that it requires flood lighting, one can configure the system with floodlights in either corner of the yard to keep the property safe, then install low voltage lights throughout the interior landscape to showcase trees, ornamentation, foliage, gardens, and flower beds.
Even though well lights lie partially buried in the ground, the moisture content and saline content of the atmosphere can have an effect on them. It is important to consider one's geography and local weather conditions when choosing well lighting fixtures. Residential Landscape Lighting and Design organizes the major lamping options for well lights under fixture category build so clients and design firms can quickly find the light source they require by simply going to the fixture material category and browsing through the options contained therein. The following is a general breakdown of what we offer:
Aluminum well lights offer the benefit of a very durable and cost effective fixture material source.
Both large and small companies can take advantage of the savings offered by aluminum well lights. Smaller single site companies can invest more in a designer's creative services and less in the equipment itself---provided they are in a geography with low levels of salt content in the atmosphere. RLLD provides halogen lighting kits in the category that are designed to illuminate specimen trees, plants in the garden, or architectural details of a home or office building. For a more standard, warm, and general ?white? light, we also provide incandescent lights in this grouping. These well lights can be configured with timers and dimmer switches to both control power on/power off during nighttime operating hours and also to set lighting levels as well for various moods and effects.
Low Voltage Aluminum well lights also provide the residential homeowner with an ideal cost-savings option in equipment purchases.
As we do in our commercial, high-voltage well lights, we also provide halogen and incandescent well lights that operate at 12 volts and minimize both power consumption and the risk of accidental electrocution. Halogen well lights in this category make for ideal garden lights. If a home has flower beds around large trees, or near a wall of either the home or the property boundary itself, halogen lights can up light both the foliage and surrounding structure with an apparently sourceless light that adds a slightly golden aura to its subject. Incandescents can be used to light shrubbery and smaller trees, and like their high voltage equivalents, are both dimmable and timer-friendly.
Brass well lights and copper well lights offer an exceptional resiliency to both humidity and salt air, and clients living near beaches can light their weekend properties with the same lighting designs as inland companies and homeowners. We also recommend considering investing in LED lighting for additional cost savings in this area. Beach homes are by no means inexpensive, and the power saving benefits of LED well lights offer a substantial reduction in operating costs in popular coastal resort areas.
