The art of lighting design and installation
There is an art to lighting design and installation. Whether you need lighting solutions for your home or business, whether you need light inside or outside, you should seek out the advice of professional lighting design and installation experts to get the best light you can at the highest efficiency for a reasonable price.
Lighting needs
The first question is how much light your space needs, and of what sort. Is this a space in which people need to work and clearly see what they are doing, such as an office or the kitchen in your home, or is it a place where a pleasant ambient light would be enough?
The color of your light is another thing you will want to keep track of. When it comes to LED lights, warmer lights are actually a slightly lower temperature than cooler lights. They also create a more comfortable environment for most purposes in the home.
Similar to this, but not exactly the same, is the ability of the light to render color. If you are a serious cook, you will want to be able to accurately gauge the color of everything in the kitchen — the ripeness of a fruit, the greenness of your, well, greens, the shades of red seen in different varieties of red pepper and the brownness of a roux on the stovetop. Likewise, if you wear makeup, then in the bathroom you will want to be able to perfectly judge the hue of the lipstick or eye shadow you apply. The Color Rendering Index (CRI) tells you most of what you need to know about the ability of a given light source to properly render color. The R9 measurement tells you specifically how well the light source renders the color red.
What you have to work with
There is also the question of the electrical system in the room. Is it up to code? What sort of lighting system can it support? If it is not enough, you will need to consult with experts who are electricians as well as lighting experts, so they can work on the electrical system and make it fit for your purposes.
