Architectural Lighting
What is Architectural Lighting?
Architectural lighting refers to the strategic integration of light fixtures into and around the architectural elements of a building. The goal is to enhance both its aesthetic appeal and functionality – from both an accessibility and security point of view. This form of lighting goes beyond mere illumination to create moods, highlight design features, and even improve energy efficiency.
How Does Architectural Lighting Differ from General Lighting?
General lighting provides basic illumination for a space, making it functional and safe. On the other hand, architectural lighting aims to accentuate design features, create mood, and highlight architectural elements. It’s more about the art and science of lighting design rather than just brightness.
What Types of Architectural Lighting Fixtures Are Available?
We offer a diverse range of fixtures, including recessed lighting, wall sconces, pendant lights, and track lighting. Each type serves a specific purpose, from providing ambient light to focusing on particular architectural details. Our experts can help you choose the right fixtures for your project.
Can Architectural Lighting Be Energy-Efficient?
Absolutely, we offer LED architectural lighting options that are both energy-efficient and sustainable. These fixtures consume less electricity and have a longer lifespan compared to traditional bulbs. They also offer a range of color temperatures for different moods and settings.
