It sometimes serves as a reminder to dig into a home improvement project before winter sets in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So much of the time, plans to decorate or fix up a home focus on big fun projects such as kitchens, bathrooms, paint palettes and furnishings. Other projects, like lighting, are often an afterthought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLighting is often overlooked, yet it\u2019s so important,\u201d says Marina Case, principal designer at The Red Shutters in Hudson Valley, N.Y., and Martha\u2019s Vineyard, Mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing where to cut holes for recessed ceiling cans or install light switches in walls may seem ho-hum and boring, \u201cbut these decisions and others should be part of any plan because there\u2019s so much new lighting technology to take advantage of,\u201d Case says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology isn\u2019t the only reason to keep lighting at the forefront of design plans. Thoughtful light decisions made early on can both help save money and time and limit mistakes. For example, adding recessing cans to a ceiling after it\u2019s been painted might require rewiring and repainting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStart thinking about your lighting design as early as you consider your overall vision for your home,\u201d designer Avraham Mor, CEO of Chicago-area Morlights, advises. \u201cLighting has one of the most significant impacts on how your spaces come to life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting started might feel overwhelming, especially if you\u2019re not accustomed to thinking about lighting, but a little preparation and help from the experts will make a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Your Homework and Make a Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many industries, the lighting space has changed to accommodate new technology, energy needs, and styles. Do a bit of research on what\u2019s available. Consider your design preferences and how far you want to move into the technology space when it comes to lighting. Remember to also consider how much natural light a space gets, Mor says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For research, a simple Google search will produce a long list of resources. You can also opt for one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/alalighting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Lighting Association\u2019s(link is external)<\/a> publications. The association offers a downloadable \u201cLighting Planning Guide\u201d and its <em>Lighting<\/em> magazine, says executive vice president Larry Lauck. All manner of topics are covered, from lighting for aging eyes to remote controls for fixtures. You\u2019ll also learn a host of key terms like \u201clumens,\u201d \u201cbaffles\u201d and \u201cwatts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn About LEDs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though they\u2019re not new, the buzzword in the industry is still LEDs. The light emitting diodes are responsible for many improvements, including energy efficiency. In today\u2019s market, they come in a range of colors and can be programmable. In many cases, they can be controlled from an app on a phone or by voice command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLEDs have been around for years but became more popular in late 2009 to 2010, when they replaced compact fluorescents,\u201d Lauck says, adding, \u201cEach year, they\u2019re more sophisticated and better quality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among their pros:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>They consume less energy.<\/strong> In fact, they\u2019re so energy-efficient that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecmag.com\/section\/lighting\/department-energy-adopts-new-energy-rules-light-bulbs#:~:text=The%20rules%20expand%20energy%2Defficiency,leave%20compact%20fluorescents%20and%20LEDs.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Department of Energy(link is external)<\/a> announced plans this past April to phase incandescent and halogen bulbs out of production and sale in the U.S. before a ban takes effect next year.<\/li><li><strong>They cost less.<\/strong> After initially emerging as a pricey option, many LEDs cost about $1.50, down from $80 apiece in 2008, says Nathan Kipnis, a Chicago and Boulder, Colo.\u2013based architect and expert on sustainability.<\/li><li><strong>They last longer.<\/strong> Lauck says he used to replace a porch light monthly and now expects its LED replacement to last 10 years. Joseph A. Rey-Barreau, lighting designer and associate professor at the University of Kentucky, says LEDs typically last from 10,000 to 50,000 hours of light. For maximum longevity, he says, \u201cdon\u2019t skimp on quality.\u201d<\/li><li><strong>They\u2019re smaller.<\/strong> Let\u2019s face it: Sometimes lightbulbs are a bit of an eyesore. A ceiling with recessed cans can have apertures of one inch in diameter\u2014versus the standard five or six inches from years back\u2014so it minimizes the look of holes in a ceiling, Rey-Barreau says. They also come in narrow, less visible \u201cropes\u201d for all sorts of architectural applications, Lauck says.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visit a Retail Showroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing compares to viewing lighting options in person. If you\u2019re uninterested in a big-box store, showrooms can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/alalighting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ALA website(link is external)<\/a> by ZIP code; some have a lighting lab, which demonstrates products in vignettes that simulate rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if a homeowner can\u2019t visit a lab, experts at most showrooms are trained to demonstrate options. They can help most if homeowners bring specifics, such as a floor plan or rough sketch of the room in question. It\u2019s even better if the measurements and placement of doors, windows (since natural light affects how artificial light looks) and furniture are sketched in, says Shawn Carstensen of Wolberg Lighting Design &amp; Electrical Supply in Kingston, N.Y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll ask what the function of the room is, how they want it to look, and what type of light they may want to see\u2014a wide beam or crisp focus,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Develop a Lighting Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a pro on board, a homeowner can have a lighting plan drawn up. \u201cIt\u2019s less expensive to work from a plan rather than piecemeal and have someone come back multiple times or have to correct mistakes,\u201d Lauck says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When preparing a plan, architect Nicole Semple, principal with Chicago-based Kuklinski + Rappe, says she and colleagues focus on using LEDs, automation, dimming, and mixing light layers for maximum effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Case includes lighting suggestions in her plans and elevation drawings and then has her contractor or electrician fine-tune them based on the fixtures and bulbs that will work best in each room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A homeowner\u2019s age and physical challenges may also come into play. \u201cIf they are getting older and have poorer eyesight, they may want different lighting to illuminate a path to a bathroom at night or into a kitchen to grab a glass of water,\u201d Lauck says. Wheelchair users may want switches at 48 inches above a floor rather than at 52 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then there are other decisions such as the choice of fixtures, baffles, lenses, and housings (the protective covers for cans) and the number of switches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Considerations for The Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the learning and planning is complete, it&#8217;s time to get the project started. There are still a few considerations to make in order to ensure you create the look and ambiance you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hire a Pro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if a homeowner opts not to work with a retail store\u2019s lighting professional, hiring an expert is a good idea. Some specialists work independently and are members of the ALA or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iald.org\/\">International Association of Lighting Designers.(link is external)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWho a homeowner goes with often depends on the members of their home improvement or decorating team, their budget, and the lighting they want,\u201d Case says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An electrician is necessary as well, as most electricians will check if they need to upgrade an electrical panel for more light. They\u2019re also knowledgeable about the National Electrical Code and local building codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A homeowner should ask upfront about charges. Some showrooms may provide a consultation for free or for a fee that\u2019s refunded with merchandise bought, says Rey-Barreau. An independent designer may charge by the hour or by the project. Some interior designers and architects include lighting ideas in their services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Rule of Three<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best plans feature a mix of three layers of light that work together to make rooms function and look great, says Rey-Barreau. \u201cSome rooms may have more layers to offer the chance for a more custom look,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Overall or general lighting illuminates a room and helps it come alive. If the room lacks natural light, artificial light becomes more important.<\/li><li>Task lighting illuminates where work is performed\u2014a computer screen in a home office, a mirror in a bathroom, or at a kitchen countertop, Lauck says.<\/li><li>Ambient creates a specific mood\u2014bright and perky, soft and romantic, or fun and colorful.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Color and Intensity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Homeowners may think of wattage equivalents first when choosing lighting, but that term refers to the energy a bulb puts forth. The Kelvin scale measures the temperature of the light and is important since light colors aren\u2019t all white, off-white, or yellow. They should be matched to function and mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA standard incandescent might be 2850 K and have a warm yellow glow. If you want white light for a bathroom and applying make-up, you might go with 3500 K,\u201d Lauck says. You also might want a crisp white to enhance a kitchen when selling, says Chicago salesperson Jennifer Ames of Engel &amp; Volkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For other moods, you might desire a bluer light, from 4000 K to 6000 K, Lauck says. The good news is that you can find a LED for any color of the rainbow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Play Up the Source<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While LED bulbs have gotten smaller, the fixtures are playing a more decorative role. There are a plethora of sconces, pendants, chandeliers, ceiling-mounted fixtures, table and floor lamps, and ceiling fans with lighting built in. Most come in multiple styles, shapes, materials, colors, textures, sizes and prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Los Angeles designer Christopher Grubb of Arch-Interiors calls decorative lighting the jewelry of a room. In one kitchen, he designed the crystals of the two chandeliers to sparkle like diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When It\u2019s All Said and Done<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you haven\u2019t made lighting a priority, it\u2019s not too late to add or change it. \u201cIt\u2019s just harder and more costly to make changes as a project gets to later phases,\u201d Grubb says\u2014or after it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear in mind the goal of achieving balance with lighting. If too many lights are on at once, the light can wash out important design elements and distort colors, Mor says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you don\u2019t have enough, you can\u2019t turn on more light. That\u2019s why Rey-Barreau likes to go with more fixtures and then use dimmers to give homeowners control when they want less light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9National Association of REALTORS\u00ae<br \/>Reprinted with permission<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When moving in or remodeling, homeowners are wise to focus on the power of light to illuminate rooms, add decorative panache and color, pare energy consumption and improve safety.
