Lighting design for homes and businesses

Are you looking to add or change your existing Lighting? Ambient Electrical has been assisting clients in transforming their homes and businesses with creative and practical lighting arrangements since 2011.

We believe the right lighting advice can help transform your home or business into a modern, sophisticated and energy efficient space. You may be surprised how various lighting arrangements can change the space of a room, adding charm, vibrancy and style.

We have extensive product knowledge, practical ideas and creative suggestions in how you can illuminate your home and business space. Whether it be a new build or wanting to give the existing space a facelift, Ambient Electrical can assist you in making that project come to life.

Regardless of space, great lighting design can mean the difference between an average room, and an area that displays purpose, mood and charm. Used properly, lighting can create an ambience that is perfect for entertaining; provide a feeling of warm and harmony in winter and functionality in a working space like a kitchen.

An amazing lighting display takes into account the space in which it is intended to illuminate, the orientation of lighting to do this and the theme, mood or scene it is meant to create. The correct choice of Lighting in areas like dining rooms can set the tone or complement existing furnishings. The selection of colour render, whether it be warm, cool or daylight is important when lighting various rooms or generating a particular feel throughout your home or business space.

Most people will select a warm dimmable light in bedrooms and other rooms designated for relaxing, whilst a cool or daylight is chosen in functional areas like kitchens. There’s a tendency to have warmer light in older colonial type homes, whilst currently there is a trend to use white daylight in more modern spaces, particularly with clean white walls and ceilings.

Recessed downlights, now almost always LED downlights, give a clean, modern look. The halogen downlight was popular for years, but the LED has become the cost-effective choice because it needs little maintenance and uses far less energy.

Pendant light installation

Pendant lights set a mood and pick up the colour scheme, trims and finishes of a room. They are especially effective in homes with high ceilings, adding character without taking over the space, and come in a huge range of designs.

Pedestal Lights are a fantastic idea. Whether it be in the lounge, living or bedroom it gives the homeowner greater flexibility when creating that ideal setting. Like the Pendants, they come in many designs but, they also allow you to light which ever area of the room you choose. For instance, reading areas, dark lit spots, and voids which need enhancing.

Sconce Lights are a perfect way to light up the hallway. They provide light where light is often minimised and illuminates wall features or become the feature itself.

Directional Lights are especially effective when illuminating those special photos, artworks or wall features. They are particularly effective when used with a Dimmer.

The various types of lighting mentioned can be further enhanced with the use of Dimmers and Digital Controllers such as Clipsal C-Bus, Dynalite etc. Furthermore, using control gear to create ambiance also saves on power usage helping you and the environment.

Ceiling Fans are another way to create mood while serving to cool down rooms and displace stale air. Today, there is a lot of choice when it comes to choosing the style of fan that best suits your needs. All fans can be controlled with the use of fan controllers, helping to regulate temperatures and saving on costs. With the use of a Remote Control, you can have a Fan/Light combination with no extra wiring required. This is especially good where the Fan will replace the existing Light in the middle of the room.

Whether you are thinking of selling your home or opening a café, restaurant or other small business we encourage you to think about your lighting Design. By changing your old light fittings to something more modern will not only give the room a well needed face lift but can go a long way to transforming space making the area appear larger and more spacious. This can only have a positive effect on the sale price of your property or the amount of patrons and customers that enter your doors.

Important to note: when choosing your lighting be mindful of the space you are trying to illuminate. Take into consideration the colour of the walls and flooring as darker colours absorb more light. Furthermore, pay attention to the orientation of the room and its proximity to natural light. Throughout the daylight hour’s space that occupies near common walls, rear shopfronts, basement areas and the like will need extra lighting.
