A Guide by AMCO Electric & Energy
Hi, I’m Jeremy from AMCO Electric & Energy, and today we’re going to shed some light on choosing the right fixtures for your home.
Lighting plays a pivotal role not just in illuminating our spaces but also in setting the mood, enhancing décor, and even impacting our energy bills. Whether you’re remodeling or just looking to update a room, selecting the perfect light fixtures is crucial. Let’s dive into some key considerations to help you make the best choices.

Understanding Different Types of Lighting
First things first, it’s important to understand the three main types of lighting and how they can be used in your home:
Ambient Lighting: This is your main source of light—whether in addition to natural light or to compensate for lack of it. Ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, and LED downlights are common ambient lighting options.
Task Lighting: As the name suggests, task lighting is used to help you perform tasks. This includes desk lamps, under-cabinet kitchen lights, and vanity lights, which provide the necessary brightness for precision and safety in activities.
Accent Lighting: This type of lighting is used to highlight specific points of interest, such as artwork, sculptures, or bookcases. It creates visual interest and draws the eye to these areas.

Style and Aesthetics
The light fixtures you choose should complement the style of your home. For instance:
Modern Homes: Look for clean lines and minimalist designs, perhaps with metallic finishes or geometric shapes.
Traditional Homes: Chandeliers with classic designs, perhaps using materials like wrought iron or brass.
Eclectic Spaces: Mix and match different styles but maintain harmony by using consistent colors or finishes.
Light Quality and Bulb Type
The type of bulb is just as important as the fixture itself:
LEDs: Highly energy-efficient and long-lasting, LEDs are available in a range of colors from warm to cool, mimicking natural light.
Incandescent Bulbs: These provide warm, inviting light but are less energy-efficient and have a shorter lifespan.
Halogen Bulbs: Offer a crisper, white light and are more energy-efficient than incandescent but hotter to the touch.
Consider the color temperature and lumens (light output) depending on the needs of the space—warmer lights for cozy areas like living rooms and bedrooms, and cooler lights for task-oriented spaces like kitchens and offices.

Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is crucial not only for saving on bills but also for reducing your environmental footprint. Look for fixtures that are compatible with energy-efficient bulbs and consider adding dimmers to control light intensity and conserve energy further.
