Collingwood has released a residential lighting design guide to assist electricians in creating and installing improved lighting schemes for homeowners and builders in 2025.
James Blackmore, Product Director at Collingwood Lighting, says, “Many people will be thinking about a makeover for the house or specific rooms and lighting is integral to creating the right mood.
“Sadly, most residential lighting is one dimensional, so while it serves a function it does little to enhance the feel of a room. By making people aware of what they can do with modern LED lighting and control, you will delight them and win more added value business through referrals.”
The 36 page An Electrician’s Guide to Lighting Design for the Home introduces the principles of good lighting design, a room-by-room guide, and suggestions on how to create the right atmosphere in different spaces.
It covers how you should balance ambient, task and accent lighting, the affect of different correlated colour temperatures, how and when to use different beam angles and when you need to think about the colour rendering index of a fitting.
James continues, “Whether it’s for a whole house makeover or just one room, this guide enables the contractor to help their customer make an informed decision about their lighting.”
