Traditional Lighting
Whether you’re remodeling or simply wish to upgrade the lighting in your home—we can help. Proper lighting makes all the difference in a room. You can create an entirely different mood while making it easier to perform certain tasks. And of course well-lit spaces make for a safe environment. The rule of thumb is to have a mix of layered light sources in each room. Ambient light is usually overhead–it illuminates the space. Accent lighting is used to highlight a certain element. And Task lighting is focused on where the task is performed. For example under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen.

LED Lighting
LED lighting has come a long way just in the last few years. While businesses and municipalities were early adopters homeowners are now taking to LED’s in a big way. The reason: Energy Efficiency. LED lighting uses less energy to produce the same amount of light resulting in significant savings on your electric bill.
Advantages of LED
LED’S range from a rated life of 25,000 up to 50,000 hours
They last approximately 50 times longer than a typical incandescent, 8-10 times longer than a typical CFL, and 20-25 times longer than a typical halogen
They produce very little heat
They DO NOT emit UV and have very little infrared light
They DO NOT contain mercury
They are resistant to vibration & shock
They can be compatible with dimmers
They are ideal for operation under cold outdoor temperature settings
Customize Your Lighting
With LED lighting you have the ability to create whatever lighting affects you want in a room or in parts of a room. Unlike conventional lighting, which spreads light across an area, LED’s are capable of focusing on an object or small area with precision.
You also have the ability to control your LED’s. Much more versatile than CFL’s LED’s can be dimmed or even configured with sensors to determine your presence in the room. Ask us about configuration options for LED’s.
Calculating the Lifespan of LED’S
50,000 hours powered 4 hours/day = 34 year lifespan
50,000 hours powered 8 hours/day = 17 year lifespan
50,000 hours powered 24 hours/day = 6 year lifespan
