Lighting Basics For Every Homeowner

DON’T BE LEFT IN THE DARK – WE SPOTLIGHT THE TOP LIGHTING TRENDS THAT WILL INSTANTLY BRIGHTEN UP EVERY PART OF YOUR HOME.

For the living room

Cosiness is key when it comes to the living room. Instead of ceiling lights, go for ceiling fans that double up as a lighting solution. Gone are the tacky designs of yesteryears; these trusty breeze-makers now come in a myriad of decor styles that are sure to look great in any modern living space. For instance, the KDK U48FP comes with built-in LED lighting that not only illuminates the area but also helps to keep your home cool, comfortable and ultra-stylish.

For the dining

Old-fashioned light bulbs just don’t cut it anymore. Dimmable light bulbs like the Megaman LED Filament Bulb are now in demand, as it allows you to control the brightness levels to suit your surroundings. During dinnertime, dim the lights to set the mood for a warmer ambience – perfect for an intimate date night with your partner. What we love about the Megaman range is that it sports the iconic golden filament bulb, which brings a classic vintage feel to the table. Talk about having an Edison moment!

For the study

Add functional task lighting to dedicated areas such as the study so you can work in a well-lit environment. A desk lamp like the 3M Polarizing Task Light provides a useful light source that will help you to stay focused and alert. It comes with multiple brightness levels that you can easily adjust, as well as an anti-glare filter that offers you greater reading comfort. What’s more, it also serves as a mood light to create a calm and pleasant atmosphere where you can relax.

For the bedroom

Your bedroom is your ultimate safe haven, so you would want to keep the space clean and germ-free. Leave it to the Philips UV-C Disinfection Desk Lamp, which utilises UV-C technology to get rid of bacteria and viruses (yes, including the coronavirus!) within the room in just a matter of minutes. The best part? It looks just like an ordinary lamp – simply place it on your bedside table and let it do its thing. Just be sure to leave the room before switching it on to prevent getting hit by a blast of UV!
