Gone are the days of simply installing a ceiling light; modern lighting is more versatile than ever, allowing for unique decor that saves you money on energy bills.

Led Uplighting

Up lighting is when a dedicated light source is placed close to the floor with the intention of lighting something directly above it. This could be architectural features, artwork or even textured walls and ceilings. Using up lighting is a great way to create that ‘wow factor’ in your rooms whilst still keeping it looking professional.

Why Lighting Like This Is Important

Most people think of lighting as something that comes from above. Big ceiling lights can sometimes leave dark shadows around a room or just aren’t as good at creating that inviting atmosphere that softer light is. Directed light can add depth and warmth to your home in a way that everyone will notice. It’s great because up lights can be as subtle or as bright as you like depending on where you put them and what you’re lighting up.
It also really helps to utilise long-life low-energy light fittings like LEDs. There are so many more opportunities for being creative with your lighting when using LED lights.

Uses for Led Lighting

Indoors

Indoor lighting has come a long way from the single ceiling light. Using layers of light in your home can help to achieve that homely feel and give areas of your rooms a specific purpose. Up lighting is perfect for behind sofas, under shelves or cabinets. Some great areas for up lighting indoors are the living room, hallways and bedrooms.

Commercial Properties

Many businesses are starting to use similar ideas when it comes to lighting their commercial properties. Restaurants and cafes tend to use softer lighting to give their space and guests a more intimate feel. Offices are great at using lighting to reduce shadows on desks when people are working. But when it comes to retail spaces, using feature lighting to highlight products or interesting architecture really makes a difference.

LED Strip Lighting

Lighting strips are another versatile option that you can use almost anywhere. Whether it be under your kitchen cabinets, on the risers of your stairs or tucked into your wardrobe. You can even position them on coves and run them along the ceiling! As they’re a subtle kind of light people tend to think it’s ‘afterthought lighting’. But when you start fitting them into rooms you’ll see how useful they can actually be.
Most LED light strips can be cut to your desired length and come in a variety of colors. You will also find that a lot of LED light strips can be connected to smart controls. So you can dim them, change their color or even integrate them into your automated home system from your phone.
