Different Types of Lights; You Should Use One Lighting Company

Written by Cooper Clark | Feb 06, 2023

Every building - whether it's a business, school, store, factory, etc. - uses different types of lighting. The lighting features in your building should correspond to the purpose and setting of each area. The proper lighting is a game-changer, and understanding which type of lighting you need is essential. But just because you have different types of lights doesn't mean you need different companies to sell, install or repair them. In this piece, we shall explore popular types of lights, and why you should use one lighting company.

Types of Lights

Outside Lights

Outside lights are an important part of your business. They include illuminated signs to advertise your business and help people locate it, and lights in the parking lot and at entrances and exits for safety and for a welcoming feeling. 

Ambient Lights

These are usually situated overhead and provide illumination to the entire room. The goal of ambient lighting is simple: to make occupants feel comfortable, to give enough light for them to walk around securely, and to fill the spaces between the lights used on the shelves, displays, and other areas.

Accent/Case Lights      

Accent lighting is utilized in many forms to draw clients to particular parts of the business. Case lights are ideal for illuminating shelves and displays. You can use case lights in any environment, but they are most commonly found in retail stores.  

Task Lights

This is used to emphasize interior areas that require additional light for certain jobs or objectives; for instance, in changing rooms and where you need to see small objects.

Decorative Lights

Decorative lights embellish an area. This form of lighting may be produced by utilizing inventive fixtures or fixtures with aesthetic value, such as a set of pendant lights, a chandelier, etc.

Emergency Lights and Exit Signs

Emergency lights and exit signs are designed to make your place safer and are a requirement by law. Your building should have emergency lights to provide illumination during a power outage or other emergency. These lights help people to see when they are evacuating. Illuminated exit signs help guide occupants out of the room to safety. Emergency lights should be well-lit and visible from all directions for everyone to see.

Why Is It Important to Use One Lighting Company For All Your Lighting Needs?

 

It Is Easier

Having one professional lighting team means you always know who to go to for a lighting issue, no matter what type of light, and you don't need to contact several companies.

Regular Servicing

You can have access to regular service if you trust one company for all your lighting needs. The lights should be functional, and your lighting company will help you maintain them.

Lighting Design and Upgrades

Buying lighting features can be challenging as you must identify the lights you need and where you need them, and then get them installed. Not a problem if you choose one company who can design a plan and provide and install what you need. 

Saves Money

Using one lighting company saves you money over buying lights from different companies and then paying for several service calls from different vendors to install each particular type of light.

When you have a lighting company you trust, you are sure:

1. The products you get are the best according to the nature of your building;

2. You are getting a good price;

3. You get experienced installation;
