traditional forms oftorch lighting, but also
to modern gas and electric light sources
affixed in the same way.
Cove lighting is a form ofindirect
lighting built into ledges, recesses, or
valences in a ceiling or high on the walls of a
room. It directs light up towards the ceiling
and down adjacent walls.
A lamp is a replaceable component such as
an incandescent light bulb, which is designed
to produce light from electricity. These
components usually have a base of ceramic,metal, glass or plastic, which makes an
electrical connection in the socket of a light
fixture.

XIV. Plant Shelf Lighting BasicsPlant shelves are a great way to showcase your home dcor and other fantastic accessories
that complete your living room, bedroom, kitchen and dining room designs. But without the
right lighting, these up and away spaces can be as distant as the moon. Use this guide to
using lighting fixtures for plant shelving and youll be sure to get the most out of your plant
shelving spaces.
Getting Power to the Shelf
Ensuring that there is a way to get power to the site is the first and foremost part of this
project. Without the right power supply, your plant shelf lighting fixture is a no go. Youll need
to access the attic space above the plant shelving to determine if the space is reachable by
conventional methods.
Once you know that you have access to the site with a power supply, you can then insert an
outlet box. Use an outlet box that is designed for drywall. These attach to the back of the
drywall, allowing a quick and painless way to get your outlet secure. Once the outlet box is

25/38
25
ready, insert a wire into the box. Have another partner help you to pull the wire through the
crawl space and over to an existing outlet or directly to the service panel.
Choosing a Lighting Source
Choosing the right light for the pant shelf is crucial to the success of this project. With the
wrong bulb and wattage, you run the risk of burning down the house. When in doubt, always
go for the lowest wattage possible. As a rule of thumb, a plant shelf lighting fixture should be
at least a 40 watt bulb or less. Better than conventional bulbs, LEDs are a great way to light
up a small space like a plant shelf alcove without allowing it to get too hot. An affordable wayto light plant shelving with LEDs is by installing LED under cabinet lighting. Throw in a dimmer
switch and youve got a night light display that can be affordable enough to run all night long.
Some LED displays can be tasked to work with multiple colors and lighting effects to create the
ultimate in opulent living room, den and home theater spaces.
Accent and Task Lights

Accent and task lighting can be used to complete avoid having to install a new lead wire and
outlet. By using an existing nearby light source and installing a system oftrack lights, you can
easily display plant shelving with ease. From colored spot lights to soft lights that strike the
perfect balance between your design and your dcor, a track or monorail lighting system is the
perfect choice for lighting a nearby plant shelf area.
XV. What are the Landscape Night Lighting Techniques?Some of the most beautiful homes look their best at night, thanks to their evening landscape
lighting. Many people are stumped as to how to achieve a similar look on their own home,
especially when it comes to buying the right light fixtures and where to place them. Here are a
few tips and tricks for night lighting a landscape.
Work at Night
http://www.arcadianlighting.com/track-lighting.htmlhttp://blog.arcadianlighting.com/landscape-night-lighting-techniqueshttp://www.arcadianlighting.com/http://www.arcadianlighting.com/http://blog.arcadianlighting.com/landscape-night-lighting-techniqueshttp://www.arcadianlighting.com/track-lighting.html -
7/28/2019 Lighting Types
27/38
27
This is a great tip for those looking to save a bit of money and do their own outdoor nightlighting on their landscaping. The best time to experiment with night time lighting is to turn on
your outdoor lighting fixtures at night. You can even pre plan using flash lights to give
yourself an idea of what the space might look like once youve installed the actual light
fixtures.
Remember the Different Effects
A professional lighting designer knows that even outdoor night lighting requires a number of
different lighting types: accent, uplighting, downlighting, silhouetting, grazing, moonlighting
and shadowing. You dont necessarily have to use all of these on a single home, but using
multiple styles and light fixtures can help pack a punch on an otherwise bland night lighting
scheme.
-

28/38
28
Accenting is used to highlight specific elements, such as a bird bath or a statue. Uplighting is
when light fixtures are placed so that the light shines upward onto the item, whereasdownlighting is the exact opposite: light fixtures are placed overhead to shine light downward.
Silhouetting uses light fixtures placed behind an item so that when turned on, there is a
silhouette. Shadowing is when multiple light fixtures are arranged so as to create a shadow
onto a wall such as a fence or onto the home itself using a wall sconce. Finally, grazing is
when light is used to show texture while moonlighting is a technique that creates a gentle
glow similar to that of the moon.
Considerations for Light Fixtures
http://www.arcadianlighting.com/wall-sconces.htmlhttp://www.arcadianlighting.com/wall-sconces.html -
7/28/2019 Lighting Types
29/38
29
When choosing light fixtures for your outdoor lighting scheme, know what you want to achieve
before you purchase the actual fixtures. For example, if youre going to do a lot of silhouetting
with your bushes, youll want to purchase light fixtures for exactly that purpose.
Other questions to ask include: are your fixtures sturdy? Will they withstand the elements of
your specific region? Are they U.L. wet listed or damp listed? Can you actually install the lightfixtures yourself or will you need to hire the help of a professional? You may find that while
you can plan everything and make all the purchases, actually installing the light fixtures,
like wall lamps, may prove to be a bit more daunting than you had anticipated. It is better to
be safe than sorry, so dont skimp on the help if you need it!
Maintenance
Finally, consider maintenance for these fixtures. Light fixtures located on the ground will need
to be monitored for debris build-up, as they can potentially catch fire if certain items, such as
leaves or twigs, build up over top.
You should routinely clean your fixtures, wipe off the dirt and debris from the shades to
ensure that you are getting maximum light and the most bang for your buck.
For wiring that is exposed, be sure to regularly check the wiring to ensure it has not become
compromised or that the casing has not been worn away or chewed off by animals and other
pests. Always make replacements immediately to avoid additional damage, such as a fire.

XVI. What are the Benefits of Entryway Lighting?The entryway of the home is perhaps one of the most important sections when it comes to
lighting, especially for homeowners who entertain often. The entryway gives guests an idea ofwhat to expect. If the entryway is warm and inviting with adequate lighting from the light
fixtures, theyll feel comfortable walking up to the home. If its not inviting, well, that could be
a problem. If youre not convinced your entryway may need some new outdoor lights, here
are some of the many benefits to entryway lighting.
Safety
One of the biggest benefits of installing adequate lighting fixtures on the entryway of the
home is the safety it adds to the space. Outdoor lights ward off intruders because it is more
difficult to break into a home that is well lit on the exterior than it is to break into a home that
has no outdoor lights on at all.

This is especially true if you have a family, as you wouldnt want a burglar breaking in during
the late night hours. Safety is important, whether you live alone or youve got a family.
Warm and Inviting
Another huge benefit ofoutdoor lights around the entryway is that it gives the appearance of
a warm and welcoming home. This is especially important around the holiday season,
especially if you have plenty of guests during this time.
A warm, inviting outside should also lead to a warm, inviting inside. So, dont forget to take a
look at your interior lighting and update or add new light fixtures where needed. Lighting helps
create a welcoming space.
Landscaping

Starting with entryway lights is a perfect way to dive headfirst into adding additional landscape
lighting and outdoor lights to your home. Landscape lights help highlight the different
landscaping and architectural features of the home. These light fixtures allow you to set a
scene and improve the evening look of your home.
You can install these outdoor lights behind bushes, in front of windows or around a flag pole
to create visual interest in the space. You can also install them to point upward into trees to
help highlight the tree and take it from looking flat to looking more dimensional in the dark.
Interior Elegance
Entryway lighting can also refer to the lighting just inside your home, in the entryway or foyer
of the house. To light this space, you can use wall sconces, a chandelier or even a simple
overhead ceiling light depending on the size of the space. Remember, you want the entryway
of your home to be inviting both inside and out!

In short, entryway lighting can have a number of benefits. It can dramatically change the
exterior of your home, making it warm and inviting. You should always carry this feeling inside
and apply this to the light fixtures on the interior entryway as well.
XVII.What Is Daylighting and Is It An Option For My Home?

Daylighting is one option that could do it all: save money, reduce electricityconsumption and allow the homeowner to be more eco-friendly; all without having to installadditional or new light fixtures.

How Do I Use The Daylighting Technique In My Own Home?
Most people hear the term daylighting and assume it simply means installing skylights in theceiling. However, skylights are just one small portion of daylighting. Other ways to bringnatural light into a space in the daylighting technique include light reflectors, sun shades, sunscreens and light shelves, all of which work together to direct or reflect additional natural lightinto a space during the day.

Light shelves are reflective surfaces that are placed along a wall on the interior of the building.Their goal is to reflect additional natural light upward around the building; thus producingadditional natural light for the interior space in the same way thatlampsand mirrors worktogether in the evening to produce additional artificial light into the space. Light reflectorswork in a similar fashion, except they are installed outdoors and aimed in a way so that light is
directed into the building rather than just being wasted. Meanwhile, sunscreens andsunshades work to control heat and glare while still maintaining maximum allowance ofdaylight into the space.
Daylighting should be combined with a combination or series of light fixtures to maintain aneven amount of light throughout the entire day. A lighting professional can work with thehomeowner (or perhaps, business owner) to create an electrical system in which artificialsources of light (lamps, track lights, ceiling fixtures and so forth) turn on and adjustthroughout the day as the amount of daylight available changes. An electrical system can beespecially beneficial during rainy, cloudy or dark wintery days when less natural light is readilyavailable.

These electrical systems can even be programed to work on a timed schedule. For example, inthe early hours of the day, more light fixtures may be in use and as the day goes on, theelectrical system shuts these light fixtures off in favor of natural daylight. As noted earlier,some electrical systems are equipped with sensors and may be able to alter their timedschedule if the lighting is inadequate and additional lighting is needed.
Daylighting is a great way to save money and be eco-friendly, so its a great option forhomeowners and business owners alike. It can also be easily taken advantage of during aremodel or even installed in an existing space for a modest cost.
