Ensuring that your kitchen lights are adequate is really quite simple, especially with a little help from our friendly Universal Lighting team. It does require a little thought and forward planning to get it right though. Essentially, kitchen lighting can be divided into three main categories, ambient, accent and task lighting. Kitchen lights are not just for kitchens but can be used anywhere in the home except bathroom. Any light fitting can be used but what sets them aside is light levels and function.

Wall lights can be the main source of lighting in modern homes, due to new builds having low ceilings. They can light up a gloomy corner or highlight a feature such as a chimney breast. They offer a secondary source of subtle light to complement the main lighting in a room. So, what are wall lights and why should I have them? As silly as it may sound, they are just lights that are wall mounted. They come in many different styles, shapes and finishes, with each type giving a different effect. Many are functional too, such as wall mounted reading lights or swing arm designs.

Recessed lights, sometimes called sunken lighting come in a variety of styles, finishes and types, so it's important you select the right ones for the job. Recessed lights are commonly bright, functional and decorative spotlights that always provide attractive ambient areas of light. Some need to be fire rated in certain situations in order to comply with current building regulations. Available in mains or low voltage and in IP65, they are available in a multitude of finishes. Recessed styled lighting is becoming increasingly popular and for good reason, especially in kitchens, bathrooms or any minimalist environment.

You want your bathroom lighting to serve two functions. To add ambience for a relaxing soak and providing adequate brightness for tasks such as washing, shaving and applying make-up. This needs to be planned to be effective and in the majority of cases suitable IP rated light fittings must be used. Good use of different types of lighting in the bathroom will ensure that you accomplish both tasks with ease. Good lighting for bathrooms should include a main ceiling light(s) or downlights, wall or mirror lights for shaving or applying make-up and a shower light if you have a separate cubicle.

We understand the importance of task and accent lighting. Floor lamps play an important part in any home decor scheme as they light up gloomy corners in any living room or hallway. Placed near a table, a lovely floor standard lamp can give you light to read by comfortably without shadows. Nothing beats a floor lamp for bringing extra controllable illumination into your room. They are convenient and can be placed wherever you want. Some are bright enough to light a whole room and others can light up a dark corner.

Table lamps are not just for providing a secondary lighting source; they can also be a decorative accessory. In addition, table lighting has the ability to give any room warmth by providing pools of light in any area you choose, either for effect or for performing tasks such as reading. By careful selection of the height, style and shade colour they can add accent colours to any room. We have a large selection of lamp lighting for your tables, dressers, sideboards or just about anywhere you've got a flat surface in your home.

When it comes to ceiling lights there is a huge variety available, so how do you actually choose the correct ceiling light type for your hallway, bedroom, living or dining ceilings? Your choice of type, finish and style will be determined by factors such as dcor, size of room and style of furniture. A ceiling light fixture is the main source of lighting in many rooms and should reflect your personality, whilst blending with the dcor. You can have a solo and central light fixture or multiple fixtures that will illuminate different zones within the room, these can be matching or all uniquely different, depending on the look you are trying to create.
