Bringing a Building to Life

Today, lighting is considered one of the most essential elements in design. The right choices in fixtures, placement, colors, and intensities bring a building to life.

For builders, this form of lighting draws attention to stunning architectural features and details. In many ways, it also defines how clients perceive a space, not only through their feelings, but also how the light reflects off the walls, creating a warm and cozy sensation or an open and inviting aura. 

With the right lighting, a home or apartment’s character is revealed.

Common Architectural Applications

Innovative LED lighting technology has enabled stunning applications, often from an unseen source. The following represent a few of their common uses:

Cove Lighting

LED strips are discreetly tucked away into coves, creating a soft wash of indirect lighting that subtly illuminates a space with no visible light source. Changing temperature, color, and brightness elevates a room while creating a personal experience.

Uplighting

Sleek and eloquent, uplights are an ideal addition to the modern, minimalist aesthetic. Based on their placement, they can function as ambient, task, or accent lighting, illuminating designated areas in the home. 

Suspended Lighting

These lights often add visual interest and can also be used as statement lighting, becoming a focal point that provides the “wow” factor in a room. These may take the form of pendant lights, chandeliers, and wall sconces. 

Integrated into Smart Control Systems

When integrated into today’s lighting control systems, users can instantly adjust their lighting to align with any activity. With today’s advanced LED lighting systems, they can transform the color, intensity, and vibrancy, crafting the ideal setting through various lighting scenes. Instead of stagnation, their lighting becomes an ever-changing brilliance, creating the perfect mood and aesthetics.

Studies have shown that lighting affects a person’s mood, sleep-wake cycle, productivity, and overall well-being. Enhanced control can support efforts toward a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
