Lamps after six: lighting a room for the evening.
Ceiling lights are for cleaning. For everything else, we plan three or four lamps at the height of a seated person.
Light at sitting height.
When the light source is below eye level, a room feels lower, warmer and more private. That is what most people want after dinner.
We plan lamps where people sit, not where the ceiling has a socket.
Three circuits, not one.
Every room we design has at least three separate lights: one for tasks, one for the walls and one small glow for late at night.
The third one gets used the most, even though it costs the least.
Warm, and warmer.
We choose bulbs below 2700 kelvin for living rooms and below 2200 for bedrooms. Below that, the light starts to look like candles.
Dimmers on everything. It is the cheapest luxury in a renovation.
