Halo Lighting - Three Steps to an Effective Lighting Plan

Dec. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- STEP1
DETERMINE THE LIGHTING EFFECTS REQUIRED ROOM BY ROOM
Although lighting requirements will vary in different areas of the house, they will generally fall into the main categories of:
• General Lighting
• Accent Lighting
• Wall Wash Lighting
• Task Lighting
This brochure will show you how these lighting techniques can be achieved by using the appropriate lamp and fixture types

STEP2
DETERMINE THE LIGHTING FIXTURES REQUIRED
Several types of lighting fixtures are available from Cooper Lighting to fill your residential lighting needs:
• Recessed Downlights
• Track Lighting
• Fluorescent Fixtures
• Outdoor Lighting
• Emergency Lighting

STEP3
FIND OUT HOW TO CONSERVE ENERGY DOLLARS
Rising energy costs call for fixtures that are as efficient as possible while still performing the lighting job you need. The Halo line includes:
• Energy saving compact fluorescent fixtures that are Energy Star qualified and California
Title 24 compliant.
• Air-Tite housings that help save on heating and cooling costs.
• Low voltage track and recessed fixtures that provide light exactly where needed.

GENERAL LIGHTING
A living room calls for variable amounts of lighting for different activities such as entertaining, reading, listening to music and for making a favorable first welcoming impression.
Helpful Hint:
Recessed lights are a natural for the general lighting requirements of the living room. Place fixtures in a symmetrical pattern around the room for balanced lighting.

ACCENTING A SPECIAL AREA

Accent lighting creates drama by focusing attention on a particular area. It complements general lighting by adding highlights.

Helpful Hint:
A Power-Trac fixture mounted in a weighted base can dramatically highlight an object while casting intriguing shadows on a wall directly behind.

AMBIENT LIGHTING
Large rooms can be illuminated with fixtures grouped to light different activity areas. Dimmers and separate circuits can adjust and balance the light output.

Helpful Hint:
Fixtures used for wall washing and accent lighting can serve double duty by adding to the overall ambient lighting.

LIGHTING A SHELVING UNIT

Shelving units can be illuminated with built in small aperture recessed lights or ceiling mounted recessed or track lights.
Helpful Hint:
Make sure that the lighting fixtures are close enough to the shelving unit so that you do not cast shadows directly on the display areas.
