At Wolfers, our goal is to help customers understand
the value of good lighting design. A well-laid out lighting design
not only will highlight architectural features, but also create
moods, improve function and make you feel safe and comfortable in
your home. Some typical challenges include…
Structural
Challenges:
High ceilings can create “dark holes,”
so indirect lighting may be needed to fill the dark void. For example,
a large center lighting element will provide good general lighting.
For low ceilings, wall sconces can be used. And for wood ceilings,
track lighting and cable systems can provide lighting, while maintaining
the beauty and integrity of the wood surface.
Wall
Surfaces, Textures and Colors:
These three elements affect how light is focused,
how it is reflected and what lamp source should be used. By knowing
your surfaces and color scheme in advance, we can help you make
the right decisions for your space.
Large
Windows:
Although they are beautiful, large window become
“black holes” at night. By adding landscape lighting
to your home, you can increase security outside, while adding a
dramatic nighttime view to your room.
Lack of Wall Space:
We recommend using floor and table lamps for direct
and indirect lighting when lack of wall space is a concern. We can
install a single main switch that refers to hidden dimmers and controls
in a remote location, such as a closet.
