LED Strip Lights in the Kitchen

Without a doubt, the kitchen is an area that requires a greater amount of lighting as this is the place where food is prepared and usually where families eat. Out of all types available on the market, LED strip lights are the best option for additional lighting to the cooking area. They are also ideal for highlighting the beauty of glass-front cabinets and open shelving. Thanks to the variety of colour temperatures and lengths, these can be installed literally anywhere you want.

LED Scones in the Bathroom

Except for the overhead lighting, installing wall-mounted LED scones would be great. These types of lights would be extremely helpful and handy to women, especially for those who want to do their makeup in the bathroom. By installing such lights in the bathroom, there will be no unflattering shadows which can certainly make or break a makeup routine. There are lots of LED scones to choose from ranging in style, size, shape and light colour. Generally speaking, LED scones offer a variety of favourable light temperatures, ranging from cool to warm.

LED Downlights in the Living Room

Living rooms are all about that recessed romantic light. While some people are still into chandeliers, it’s downlights that are most commonly used in living rooms today. In order to light up a living room you’ll need a certain amount of downlights, and it’s up to you to decide how many you’ll light up. For those romantic Friday movie nights with your loved one, you’ll only need one or two to spice things up. Although small in size (when compared to chandeliers), these lights are designed to provide a decent amount of light. They also come with built-in heat prevention and are meant to last longer.

LED Table Lamps in the Bedroom

Bedside lamps complement the overall bedroom look, but they also make the room appear warmer and more welcoming. These lamps are the ideal lighting solution when in the mood for reading a book without getting up from the bed. For those of you with larger bedrooms, adding a floor lamp and creating your very own reading nook would only add to the bedroom’s appeal.

LED Landscape & Security Lights in the Outdoor Area

Just like indoors, the outdoor areas also need to be illuminated the right way. And what better way to do that than with LED landscaping and security lights. They are durable and highly efficient which makes them ideal for outdoor areas. The ground low LED lights can illuminate any outdoor area, making it look stylish and appealing while offering a certain level of security. On the other hand, you can opt for motion-security LED lights.
