Residential lighting from all angles

Maison illuminé

A light for every room

Our home plays a central role in our lives, and because we spend so much time there, we like to make it look good and follow trends. Lighting is very important in a home and plays not only a decorative role, but also a functional one. In fact, depending on the activities that are carried out, each room of an apartment, a condominium or a house will have different and specific residential lighting needs.

In addition, lighting preferences may vary according to objective, socio-cultural and even subjective conditions. Good lighting should make a home pleasant, comfortable and functional at the same time. In addition, residential lighting must not only be effective, but also efficient. It must be effective to project a sense of security, create an ambiance or illuminate a workspace, for example. Finally, it is important that the lighting in your home be efficient, especially in terms of saving energy and ensuring a sufficient level of light output.

There are a variety of techniques for effective lighting design in the home, including ambient lighting, task lighting, accent lighting, decorative lighting, wall lighting and backlighting. Because of the changing needs of different rooms, lighting will also be different in the kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, basement, garage and outside the home.

Corridors and stairways are often neglected in terms of lighting. However, they can be much more practical, safe and stylish with the use of LED strips, wall lights, recessed lights or even pendant lights. In the garage, consider installing vapor tight lighting and positioning it on either side of the cars and not above.

Exterior residential lighting

When it comes to outdoor lighting for your home, there really are so many options! The main characteristic that your outdoor lighting fixtures must have is, of course, their resistance to humidity and dust. In fact, in order to avoid the risk of fire or overheating, it is essential to ensure that your lighting fixtures are waterproof. Several levels of protection are available for outdoor lighting, from splash water to underwater immersion.

Several exciting lighting products can be used to illuminate the exterior of the home. Among these, wall sconces are very popular. Indeed, they are perfect for facade lighting, as the directions of the light streams add interesting design touches. It is possible, with this kind of lighting product, to have light streams directed in all directions, so that the lighting becomes a decorative element of the exterior of your home.

Recessed lights are also gaining in popularity to enhance the exterior of the home. They can be easily installed in the cornice of the house to direct a downward light flow that will enhance the front of the house while ensuring good visibility all around it.

Floor lights are also widely used for the exterior of the home to emphasize the facade. Also, if you have an architectural feature that you want to highlight, this type of product is perfect for that.

When it comes to the patio, choose recessed LED light sources! In fact, LED ribbons and rings can be positioned just about anywhere on your deck. Use them to light your steps, posts, railing and even the ground. If you’re lucky enough to have a roof on your deck as well, add recessed spotlights to ensure even illumination over the entire area! Today, it’s even possible to have bright outdoor furniture like chairs, plant pots and tables. Wall sconces can also be a great option, as they can be easily installed outside the house, never too far from your deck.

Pour le jardin et l’aménagement paysager, il y a encore une fois beaucoup de place à la créativité. D’abord, vous pouvez installer de petits lampadaires au sol afin d’avoir une lumière décorative ou éclairer un passage. Pour éclairer ce dernier, les rubans LED peuvent aussi être une alternative très intéressante afin de rendre le passage lui-même discrètement lumineux. Finalement, avec des projecteurs de sol, vous pouvez aussi orienter les flux lumineux afin de mettre en valeur un élément de votre aménagement paysager, comme un arbre, une fontaine ou autres.

The lighting of this key room is as important as the rest of the house. Bathroom lighting must not only be functional, but it must also be increasingly decorative and original.

The LED for a complete and utilitarian bathroom lighting

A well-lit bathroom can be achieved in many ways. A homogeneous light and the absence of shadow corners are recommended. For this, LED lighting is perfect, whatever its form: wall lights, LED strips, recessed, suspended lights, ceiling lights, etc..

The space near the mirror should obviously be more illuminated. For this purpose, the use of wall lights or suspended lights is quite common.

Current trends include the backlighting of areas or mirrors, as well as track lighting, which, among other things, allows the light to be directed precisely where it is desired. Moreover, if one has only one light source, making it a rail with several spots solves an important problem of light distribution.

Finally, we must finally think about the functionality and the technical side of bathroom lighting, because this is the most important. We need enough light to allow us to have an adequate and comfortable vision. We normally try to get as close to daylight as possible. Also, to maximize efficiency, it is best to provide several light sources, according to the needs of each specific space in the room.

Consider waterproof devices

The lighting chosen should also be water resistant or at least steam resistant. It must therefore have a sufficient protection factor. In addition, several safety and installation constraints must be respected, so you should definitely ask for a professional installation for the lighting of this room.
