Vintage Lights FAQS
What are the basics of lighting?
There are three main types of lighting: Ambient, task, and accent lighting, Ambient also known as general lighting brightens and lights the entire room. This form of lighting replaces sunlight and is fundamental to a lighting plan. Task lighting as the name suggests provides lighting for specific tasks such as cooking or reading. Accent lighting is used to highlight certain aspects of the room such as a painting or sculpture.
Is daylight or soft white better?
Daylight bulbs provide contrast between colours, while a soft light bulb helps blend colours in a room. Daylight bulbs are most suitable for areas where you need to see intricate details such as a study area, or kitchen island. They wouldn't work well in a relaxed space as the light is too harsh.
Should I choose a flush ceiling light or one with a chain?
Firstly you must consider the height of your ceiling before deciding between these two types of ceiling lights. For example, most new builds have slightly lower ceiling heights and require flush or semi-flush lighting otherwise you’ll find yourself ducking and diving between the nagging light. Lighting that comes with a chain can be adjusted by removing links to ensure it hangs at a suitable height. Luckily most lighting nowadays comes with both options available.
