Lighting buying guide

You use your living room for a mix of activities like socialising and relaxing, so it requires a combo of lighting.

From nighttime reading to dimly-lit closets, your bedroom needs a couple of lighting options to cater to these tasks.

This lighting should be customisable. Bright and functional for playing, with the ability to soften on an evening.

You'll need a good level of light for food prep and cooking. From ceiling to spotlights, be strategic with your light positioning.

Our bathroom lights have additional protection from water and moisture, they can be used for IP zone 2 and outside zones. If you love our bathroom lighting styles, you can use them elsewhere in your home.

As much as restaurants really like to dim the lights low for some mega mood lighting, in your dining room, there needs to be enough light for you to see your guests' faces as well as your food.

Landings can often be dark, so the lighting here needs to be bright enough for putting on shoes, as well as welcoming guests.

Outdoor lighting is useful to highlight pathways, create serene settings and as a form of security.

Think table and floor lamps, chandeliers and pendants. More commonly known as mood lighting, a soft glow will spread across the room providing enough light to chill and chat without a harsh glare.

What it says on the tin. Great for prepping dinner, helping the kids with their homework or anything else that requires extra lighting. Desk lamps and under cabinet lighting are examples.

Show off a prized painting or highlight a garden feature. The idea is to draw attention to a focal point and enhance details. Wall sconces, recessed lights and spotlights will do the trick.

Smart lighting comes in a range of shapes, sizes and colour tones to create a calming ambience, and can be dimmed depending on your mood. Schedule them to turn on and off and control them from your phone when out and about for added security and energy efficiency.

LED stands for ‘light-emitting diode’. Basically, it’s a technology which means that LED bulbs use up to 80% less energy than incandescent and halogen bulbs. Their lifespan is approx. 10,000 – 25,000 hours but some can last up to 50,000 hours. That means they last twice as long as fluorescent bulbs, and more than 10 times longer than incandescent.

Fab meets functional. Being cordless, rechargeable lights are fuss-free and ideal for aesthetics. They come with an easy on/off switch or tap-to-turn-on option. Plus, the long battery life makes them perfect to light up a nook without access to a connection.

They turn the light on, and off, and come in a variety of finishes. Dimmers control the brightness, either by touch, a switch, or through a smart phone.
