Lighting plays a big role in how well put together a room looks and its final aesthetic. However, choosing the right lighting to fit the space and your needs can be confusing.
Chandelier Light Fixtures
When it comes to multiple lamp fixtures like chandeliers, they are typically suspended from an electrical outlet box. This box is connected to a bracket, and the chain holding the fixture is also connected to the box. The electrical cable that powers the lights runs through the chain. While it might seem straightforward, it’s always best to reach out to a professional electrician or contractor when installing a chandelier.
Pendant Light Fixtures
When it comes to pendant lighting, it’s pretty similar to chandelier lighting, but there are a few differences. Pendant lights are usually smaller, with only one to three bulbs. They’re hung using a cord, metal rod, or a classic chain style setting. These lights tend to be more artistic and are great for adding a little extra flair to a room, rather than being the main source of light.
Directly Mounted Ceiling Light Fixtures
Directly mounted light fixtures are the most common in residential locations. They are practical, easy to use and provide light across an entire room. This type is also the easiest to install and blend into any type of home decor.
Installing Quality Lighting
The last step of installing a new electrical system is getting those light fixtures up and running. It’s important to have an electrician on hand to ensure you’re getting the best lighting, voltage, and safety.
There are some things you should look for when selecting a contractor to provide electrical services for your home. Handling, storing, and installing lighting with precision is very important. Light fixtures are delicate, so they require careful handling to avoid damage. When working with electricity, always prioritize safety.
