Choosing the right LED strip.
Lighting for hallways, reception entrances and evening lighting.
We believe that the most important part of designing a room is the lighting!
We would say that right? being LED strip lighting specialists... but make no mistake, this is accurate - with the power to greatly affect the mood and ambience of a room, lighting itself and the colour you choose really is an important element to consider when designing lighting space within the home or working environment.
It can be tricky when deciding on the most cost effective and appropriate type of lighting for your project - there are lots of variations out there. However, meeting the needs for kitchen fitters, shop/office fit-outs and domestic customers, has proven that LED strip lighting is the preferred choice of lighting. Its cost effective with an exceptionally long lifespan, flexible, modern and performs time and time again - designers are encouragingly using it.
LED strip lighting for hallway and reception entrances - first impressions!
The hallway of your home or, business reception entrance give off the first impression. The lighting here should be welcoming, offering a smooth transition from bright daytime light to less intense, warm interior lighting.
In the evening, lighting should invite guests in from the dark into a warm, caring interior light - easing their senses, offering relaxation for a positive feel or on the contrary, uptight, affected by bright overpowering light!
Evening lighting - time to wind down.
You've had a productive day and now its time to relax or, you've had bad day and need to relax! whatever your day, when its time to wind down, lighting here matters. For relaxation, use a lower kelvin temperature - warm white at around 3,000k with dimmer controls to lower the intensity of the light and bring on relaxation.
Its not just about colour temperature - its about colour rendering index too!
You have spent hours, weeks or maybe even months renovating your home or business. Its exciting, you have decided on the interior design, colours and furniture. Now you want the right lighting to compliment it ...Imagine if the lighting you choose dampens the effort you have put in to your colour coordination - you have a great room with great designs and colours but under artificial lighting, all of this appears duller, with shadowing in areas and not a true representation of the colours or the room you have developed.
The solution to this conundrum is a good colour rendering index - this is going to ensure your colours are represented in their own right as natural as possible even under artificial lighting! LED strip evenly spreads lighting throughout the area ensuring distributed lux levels, giving you the desired ambience and showing your newly decorated space off as it should.
