Light is an essential part of our daily lives. What people do not realise is that it is a scientific fact that lighting can define our mood, our mind and our body. The correct lighting in the correct space can deliver a sense of harmony, a sense of well being or a sense of comfort. On a daily basis light helps us work, makes it easy to see around the home and can set a mood when entertaining indoors or outdoors. Taking all this into consideration picking the correct light should be a well thought out process.
The purpose of lighting is to brighten a room and this can be delivered directly or indirectly. Direct lighting is usually unshielded and its main purpose is to illuminate an entire room. Indirect lighting is generally more popular and is shielded, it can be used to gently illuminate a room via the wall or ceiling and in cases a feature piece such as a picture. It is important to mount these lights at an adequate height to provide a wide lighting angle and above eye level, with ceiling up lighters for example never mounted below 1.7 metres.
Ray Grahams supply several styles of
lighting suitable for any room in the house and outdoor locations like areas of decking or patios.
When lighting the kitchen, which for many is the most important room in the home it needs to be well lit but easy on the eye.
Spot lights are a very popular choice for kitchen areas because they are not only bright but when mounted under cupboards and shelves they are suitable and provide a well illuminated work area for those wannabe chefs. Spot lights can also be used to create or illuminate a feature in the kitchen.
For the dining room a different approach is required. When dining, a sense of comfort and cosiness needs to be achieved.
A popular choice for this is a pendant lamp or ceiling lamp, but these need to be bright yet shielded. You want to create an inviting mood and although a ceiling light is recommended Ray Grahams offer a range of options.
For reading in either the bedroom or in a living space you need to use a relaxing source of light that can allow you to unwind and get lost in your book. A
floor lamp is the most common choice for this because it can provide a bright and balanced atmosphere. Ray Grahams have a comprehensive range of lighting which can fulfil your needs.
Outdoor lighting has become just as popular and important as interior lighting. Outdoor lighting can be used to create a feeling of safety when arriving home at night both illuminating the way to your door and making it easy to find your keys but equally deterring uninvited guests. Outdoor lighting can also be used to invite guests to your home or illuminate a feature area such as a patio or decking. There is no limit to what can be achieved outdoors and with the huge range of outdoor lighting Ray Graham’s offer you need to look no further.
So if you feel like a change around the house or garden make sure you have a sufficient power supply and select one of the many lights
Ray Grahams have to offer to lift the mood in your home.
