Collingwood Publishes its Electrician’s Guide to Residential Lighting Design
Posted by: electime 29th January 2025
Collingwood has published a residential lighting design guide to help electricians specify and install better schemes for homeowners or housebuilders in 2025.
Says James Blackmore, Product Director at Collingwood Lighting; “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.
Continues James: “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.”
