Types of Lighting Systems
Depending on your needs, there are various lighting systems to choose from:

Ambient lighting, also known as general lighting, provides overall illumination to a room. It's essential for activities like reading, cooking, or socializing. Common ambient lighting fixtures include ceiling lights, chandeliers, and recessed lights.
Task Lighting
Task lighting focuses on specific areas where activities such as cooking, reading, or working take place. Under-cabinet lights, desk lamps, and pendant lights are common examples.
Accent Lighting
Accent lighting adds drama and visual interest to a room by highlighting specific areas or objects, such as artwork or architectural features. Examples include track lighting and wall-mounted fixtures.
The Process of Lighting Installation
Wondering what to expect when you hire a professional for lighting system installation? Here's a step-by-step guide:
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an initial consultation to discuss your lighting needs and preferences. This is a great time to share any design inspirations or specific requirements you may have.
Site Evaluation
A professional electrician will visit your home to assess the current lighting setup, electrical infrastructure, and any potential challenges. They will also take measurements to ensure accurate placement of fixtures.
