Pro Tip:
Consider using crystal or glass elements to help reflect natural light.
Effects of Light Output
Get two-for-one design with fixtures that reflect and refract light through glass spheres to project an array of dazzling shadows. Ideal for use in a foyer, over a dining table or in a powder room, the artistic light output adds a dramatic focal point to any room.
Led: What You Should Know
- Outdoor Use: LED is ideal for outdoor applications as it is not affected by extreme climates.
- Cost Effective: Initial investment is recouped in energy savings, maintenance reduction and low replacement costs.
- Versatile: LED lighting is available as bulbs, replaceable modules or can be fully integrated into the light fixture.
- Lumens vs. Watts: Lumens express brightness, while watts measure how much power or electricity is used to power the bulb.
- Color Temperature is measured in kelvins. A 2700K-3000K bulb will deliver a warm color similar to incandescent lighting.
Pro Tip:
The average high-quality LED lamp lasts more than 12 years.
