ELECTRICAL
Lighting is an often one of the most overlooked facets of a project. Your
home should be well lit for day-to-day tasks. But lighting should also create
ambience, style and mood. Every well thought out electrical plan should allow
the homeowner to control the environment. The basic idea is to control the
home environment with proper switch locations and proper light levels. Proper
switch locations should be accomplished through careful planning and consultation
with an electrician or designer. Achieving the proper light levels is simple.
Install as many lights as practical and then use dimmers and switches to reduce
light to a suitable level for each situation. Use lighting to turn your home
into a castle. Turn your family room into a movie theatre with a star ceiling
or turn your ensuite into a spa with some well-hidden pot lights, rope light,
or floor heat. Your kitchen should be both functional and comfortable and
this is easily accomplished with a combination of pot lights, fixtures, and
under cabinet lighting.
