Lighting is often an overlooked element when designing or upgrading your space, as people mostly mistake it for its primary purpose, which is to illuminate the space. But not only does it do that, it transforms the room environment to the next level.

Whatever the purpose of lighting or the place, choosing the right lighting solution requires careful thought. In this blog, we will share with you some helpful tips and expert advice on making the right decision.

Start With the Purpose of the Lighting

Before choosing any lighting product, ask yourself: What will this space be used for?

Different spaces require different types of lighting. For example:

  • Offices: Usually need bright, neutral lighting that supports focus and reduces eye strain.

  • Retail stores: It’s often use lighting to enhance product displays and create a welcoming atmosphere.

  • Industrial facilities: Require functional lighting that improves visibility and supports safety.

  • Homes: At home, we often use a mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting depending on the room.

Understanding the function of the space will guide all other lighting decisions.

Prioritize Energy Efficiency Solutions

Energy-efficient lighting is no longer just a “nice-to-have”,  it’s a smart investment. LED lighting is one of the most energy-efficient options on the market today, using up to 80% less energy than traditional bulbs.

Benefits of choosing LED:

  • Lower energy bills

  • Longer lifespan

  • Minimal heat emission

  • Environmentally friendly

Plus, many modern LED systems are now compatible with smart controls, giving you more flexibility and savings over time.

Access The Brightness You Need

A common misconception is that brightness is measured in watts. In reality, lumens are the standard measurement for light output. The more lumens, the brighter the light.

Here’s a general guide:

  • Living rooms and lounges: 1,500–3,000 lumens

  • Offices or task areas: 3,000–6,000 lumens

  • Warehouses or industrial zones: 10,000+ lumens

Choosing the right brightness depends on both the size of the space and how it’s used. You’ll also want to consider if dimmable lighting is necessary.

Choose the Right Color Temperature

Color temperature impacts not just the look of a room, but how people feel in it. It’s measured in Kelvins (K) and generally falls into three categories:

  • Warm White (2700K–3000K): Cozy and relaxing, great for homes or restaurants.

  • Cool White (3500K–4100K): Neutral and bright, ideal for retail or offices.

  • Daylight (5000K–6500K): Crisp and energizing, suitable for task-oriented spaces like workshops or hospitals.

Selecting the right temperature helps set the mood and supports productivity.

Conclusion

Choosing the right lighting isn’t just about picking a bulb,  it’s about creating a well-lit environment that supports how people live, work, and move through a space. From energy efficiency to color temperature and smart controls, every choice makes a difference.
