Ready for some Fancy Lighting Fixtures?
Today, as we get ready to get into 2023, let’s talk about supporting some of the most common types of electrical installations in your home – lighting fixtures!
You need or want light in every room in the house. How you get that depends on a few different things including your building’s footprint, the modernity of your wiring situation and the customization of lighting in living rooms, bathrooms, kitchens etc. But then you have so many lighting options to choose from! You can get everything from faux-antique stained glass lanterns to modernistic flute lights, and much more. How do you decide? And how do you work these extras into your wiring layout?
Types of Fancy Lighting
Well, let’s think about some of the common types of high-end lighting that go into restorations and renovations.
First, you have recessed or fisheye lighting that is less obtrusive in a ceiling.
But this takes its own particular kind of build, and deliberate attention to the materials around the lighting itself. Then you also have to figure out access issues, where many of these kinds of lighting are installed from the attic or the floor above.
Beyond those types of fish-eye lighting, you have all sorts of hanging lights that require their own weight and pressure calculations, and other types of lights mounted on a wall, where maybe the frame takes care of a lot of those concerns – but you still have to connect to your electrical grid!
For example, you also have large hanging steampunk designs and other kinds of customized lighting, as well as modular track lighting that can be added after a building has been lived in for a while. Perusing a catalog, you might see the perfect thing – but you’ll still have to work out installation.
Power Draws
Whatever your lighting fixtures are, you have to figure out how much they draw, and how to wire the situation. You don’t want to overload a circuit, and so you need professional help to look at electrical systems!
Weight and Access
As mentioned, you also need to understand how these fixtures will stand up to any physical pressures.
