FAQ
What does Indoor Lighting entail?
Indoor lighting is one of the most used components of an electrical system, yet, it is almost always overlooked by builders and homeowners. Minimizing the number of lights and switches is a quick way to reduce costs when building or renovating a house. Due to this, most houses are constructed with minimal to no light in areas that although may not be needed, would improve the look and feel of a room.
Why is proper lighting needed?
Lack of proper lighting can cause headaches, strained/ tired eyes, trip hazards, and even impact personal moods. While the lack of light can cause mistakes and alter moods, excess light in the evenings can disrupt and confuse circadian rhythm, our internal 24-hour clock that is guided by day and night activities which impacts the physiological process of humans. When this happens, we stunt the production of melatonin which is released when it gets dark. This results in loss of sleep, increased stress or anxiety, and other health problems. Having proper lighting and a means to control the level of lighting can help create a better quality of life.
Is installing proper lighting worthwhile?
Older lights such as Fluorescent or Incandescent use a higher amount of energy to light your area and increase the temperature in the room due to the low efficiency of older technology. fluorescent lights also contain mercury which may cause other health problems. Mercury is a toxic heavy metal that could pose serious health risks if exposed. If you have anything other than LED lights in your home right now, you’re potentially missing out on energy efficiency, cost savings, and a safer home environment.

Many videos online or blogs online will provide instructions on how light should be installed, but they won’t guide you on the condition or the type of existing wiring your house has. Many DIY lighting solutions can leave your house at risk with improper or faulty wiring.
