Inspiration versus practicality
There are lots of inspirational ideas for lighting your home available in magazines and online but making the correct choice is more difficult. There are some obvious options but there are always alternative ways of providing great schemes, even on a budget. The beauty and ease of wirelessly controlled systems are an obvious choice if you have sufficient funds and definitely a new build option but can also be installed in refurbishment projects.
If there are budget restraints with careful planning and clever switching arrangements you can still design a lighting scheme that will be flexible and dynamic because the fittings and technology are all there. You just have to find it. We will help you with our introduction video and some very extensive Fact Sheets of over 4000 words which are illustrated as well to help you visualise what can be done.
Therefore whether you are working on a small refurbishment project or a whole house you will find that we can give you help and its very important that you listen if you can, to the interview with the lighting designer who will give you information from his point of view.
