Where to position lights on the ceiling
When it comes to ceiling light positioning , it is best to follow the furniture layout and the task at hand in the room . A few key points for certain rooms are :
• In the bathroom , light the face correctly at the mirror – a backlit mirror is not sufficient . The best task light is lighting directly onto the face .
• Don ’ t position lights behind you when working at the kitchen counter .
• Position lights to focus on tables and key furniture in open spaces .
• Recessed spots are rarely wise when positioned in grids even if the builder insists !
• Only wall washing has a rhythmic positioning to evenly wash a wall .
What colour of light do I need ?
“ Your choice of light colour depends on you and the colours of your interior . Humans look better under warm colour light , as cool colours can make people appear pallid – the same applies for food . Certain cool colours ( greens , blues and some greys ) can look washed out under warm light as they lose their vibrancy .
So , the choice is between lighting the occupants or highlighting striking colours of the interior . Modern properties should not be higher than 3000K . A rare few will opt for 4000K to emphasise the crispness of architecture . Always make sure you select light sources of Colour Rendition high CRI 92 +. Traditional or classic interiors are normally lit at 2700K to enhance the cosiness ; with bathroom usually at 3000K .”
