Incorporating a few tips for custom LED lighting design certainly elevates understanding of the process, both on the customers and the electrician’s part.
Here we have accumulated some of our expert tips.
What you should know about LED lights
Led lighting is a cost-effective alternative to the traditional bulb. This invention has certainly contributed to energy-efficient practices as it consumes significantly lesser energy to provide even better illumination than its predecessors.
Reasons to opt for LED Lighting
There are several reasons to invest in Led Lighting. The two major reasons why most businesses and homeowners have switched to LED Lighting are
Reduced bills:
Whether you have switched to LED light bulbs or panels, you will see a significant reduction in energy bills over 12 to 24 months. Since LED lighting consumes far less electricity than other fixtures, it is the better choice. Switching to LED lighting design for your home or office is an excellent energy management strategy.
Lasting and easier to maintain
LED light fixtures have a longer shelf life than the average bulb. LED Light fixtures last longer than their mentioned life span. Moreover, they are easier to screw onto regular outlets. They are also easier to clean and maintain over their life soon.
Tips to customizing LED lighting Designs
A customized lighting design is an efficient way of incorporating lighting fixtures into your regular décor. There are a few ways you can develop a plan that works for both lighting and design purposes.
Planning
When designing the perfect LED lighting plan for your home, make sure to get in touch with expert electricians or understand the importance of electrical safety. It is quite difficult to understand the intricacies of lighting design and electrical connections without field knowledge of the electrical trade. Your electricians first analyze the electrical flow throughout your property and the connections to the main grid before giving you a set of points where lights can be mounted. We also discuss any additions to the electrical connections and supply across your house if you plan to add an outlet or connection to set up the lights.
Set a budget
Much like pieces of furniture or art, lighting fixtures can cost you a lot. LED bulbs set in designer fixtures will put a dent in your account quicker than the blink of an eye. This is why there should be a cut-off point for what you are willing to spend. Since LED lighting fixtures are quite flexible, our team of experts can use the architecture of your home as a fixture to set these lights in and save you a pretty penny. You can discuss your budget with us before you finalize the actual installation plan.
The designs
Our electricians have often used walls as the perfect background for lighting. Here is what you can do
Recessed LED design
Recessed LED panels add a touch of elegance to the space. When designing a custom lighting plan for your home, our experts find the hollow designs in the architecture of the walls to set up the LED strips for a recessed lighting look. The light peeks from these recesses and gives a vibrant ambience to the place, or you can go the mellow route if you like. Ceilings with recesses are also the perfect spot for setting up LED fixtures. You can connect the primary lights to dimmers and let the recessed LEDs shine through for an evening -in.
Wall-mounted (surface)
This is a full way to light up the entire room. Strips of LED lights or bulbs can be mounted at decided spots with an existing or new electrical connection. These designs are usually the center of attraction, and we strongly recommend creative fixtures to enhance the appeal of the lighting while adding bright light to the room.
