A combination
of general and task lighting that takes into account the age and lifestyle of
the occupant is needed. Remember, dimming controls give you the flexibility to
vary the light to suit different moods and activities.
General lighting can be provided by ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, fan lights,
recessed downlights, or wall sconces, giving you the illumination you need.
At the dressing table, an adjustable, lighted magnifying mirror will provide
ideal lighting for grooming and applying makeup. For closets, a surface mounted
or recessed closet light is suggested.
Swing-arm wall lamps on either side of the bed will provide adequate light for
reading, while leaving night tables free for a clock radio and books. Another
idea is to hang pendants next to the bed, or install recessed downlights in the
ceiling over the bed.
Children's rooms will benefit from the use of track lights, which can be swiveled,
rotated, and aimed in any direction to shed light on play areas, hobbies or homework. |
