Updating the lighting fixtures in your home is an easy way to raise its property value. Something as simple as new lighting options can change a room’s appearance. In turn, it could make your home stand out amongst the competition.
In particular, recessed or pot lights are one of the types of lighting that can immediately catch someone's eye. When you install recessed lights, that shows the investment in updating your home's appearance. Pot lights are great because they save space, are relatively easy to install, and are efficient.
Here are the top reasons you should install pot lights inside and around your house.
More Interesting Placement
The first reason to try out pot light installation is that it opens up your options for where to place them. You can place them alongside your stairs, inside your walls, following walkways, and more.
Since they're placed inside a surface, they don't take up a lot of space. You won't have to worry about accidentally hitting one or knocking them down. They're also easy to work into your room arrangement because they don't stand out.
Make sure you consult your electricians to find out where you can place them.
Efficient Lighting
Recessed ceiling lights are a great way to provide light in a more focused area. Maybe you want direct overhead light over a single worktable without brightening up the rest of the room, or maybe you dislike traditional ceiling lights.
Either way, LED pot lights are a much more energy-efficient way to light up your home without heating it or causing unnecessary glare.
Stylish Appearance
Minimalism is one of the trending styles these days when it comes to home decor. It's all about the idea that "less is more." That applies to recessed lighting that is tucked away rather than sticking out into a room.
When you install recessed lighting, it can help make a room feel more spacious as well as highlight spaces or certain decor items. However, some homeowners avoid it in their bedrooms because it provides too much-focused lighting.
More Comfortable Lighting
One of the problems with traditional ceiling lights is that they send light in all directions. That means you could suffer eye strain even if you're sitting in an area that doesn't need light.
In contrast, recessed lighting focuses all that energy in a single direction. You can create the best lighting for an office desk or worktable.
Something that could help increase your comfort level is paying attention to the colour temperature of your lightbulbs. Different colours like white and blue can be calming.
