Architectural wall lamps- Buyer’s guide
Â
Wall lights may not be at the forefront of people’s minds when buying lighting, often people will ask us-
Will these wall lights give adequate illumination or are they only decorative?
Of course, it is important to be aesthetically pleasing but lighting is also there to provide a service, that being to light up a space.
What options in wall lighting are there?
Choosing the right wall light for your space is important, but it is thankfully not a tough option because there is a basic selection that is appropriate.
– Picture lighting is to attract attention
– Uplights provide accent lighting as well as great for setting the mood
– Downlights shine downward and create a uniform distribution of light
– Reading lights, which are typically equipped with an adjustable component such as a swing arm
– Vanity Wall lights for the bathroom that need to have an IP rating
And remember It is important to consider the amount of light from various sources, including natural light, while deciding on the type, positioning, and number of wall lights.
Where should I use wall lighting?
Â
Wall lamps can be used both inside and outside.
Ceiling and wall lights complement each other beautifully. Ceiling lights provide basic lighting, but wall lights may help set the mood and ambience, which is great for the dining room, which may be used for a variety of purposes.
Architectural features are best illuminated with wall lamps, and artwork with picture lights, as these are the greatest kind of lighting for highlighting points of interest.
How many wall lights are recommended?
Â
This will vary depending on the room and its purpose. It is advisable not to hang a wall light at eye level because this will most likely be a hindrance. Mounting lights around six feet from the floor can be used as a basic guide, but this depends on the height of your room as well as the individuals themselves.
Wall lamps work well in stairwells and corridors, but too many can be distracting; assess the space before starting. The lighting should be kept low-key in order to avoid being too harsh on the eyes.
The Lamp Factory can provide assistance and advise on proper wall light mounting as well as other technical information.
Adding wall lights down a particularly dark corridor could not only illuminate your route but also save space. Wall lights are also a terrific accent beside your vanity mirror in the bathroom for purpose and aesthetic while saving space. All our bathroom lamps are handcrafted and have the appropriate IP rating.
