Choosing the right lighting

How to: choose the right fixtures for your project

Choosing the right lighting for your project depends on several factors, including the purpose of the space, the mood you want to create, the functionality you need, and the style you want to achieve. Here are some tips to help you choose the right lighting for your project:

Determine the purpose of the space: The purpose of the space will determine the type of lighting you need. For example, if you are lighting a workspace, you will need bright, task-oriented lighting with, for example a bioUp or Tunable white module, while if you are lighting a bedroom, you may want softer, ambient smart lighting. You can realize this trough adding a Dim to Warm module. Designing a shop? Then you might consider to use a fashion, art, fish, meat or bread module.

Consider the mood you want to create: The mood you want to create in the space will also influence the type of lighting you need. For example, if you want to create a cozy, intimate atmosphere, you may want to use warm, dimmable lights, while if you want to create a bright, lively atmosphere, you may want to use brighter, cooler lights.

Think about functionality: Think about the activities that will take place in the space and choose lighting that will support those activities. For example, if you are lighting a kitchen, you may want to use bright, focused lighting over work areas, while if you are lighting a living room, you may want to use softer, ambient lighting.

Consider the style you want to achieve: The lighting you choose should complement the style of the space. For example, if you are going for a modern look, you may want to use sleek, minimalist lighting fixtures, while if you are going for a traditional look, you may want to use more ornate, decorative fixtures.

Look at the color temperature and CRI: Color temperature and CRI (color rendering index) are important factors to consider when choosing lighting. Color temperature refers to the warmth or coolness of the light, while CRI measures how well the light shows the true colors of objects.
