The soft tones of downlights, when teamed up with dimming controls, are an effective way of creating the perfect mood and desired ambience. Stair/wall lights are also ideal for anywhere in the home where low-level lighting is required, such as stairwells and home theatres. Task lighting Task lighting required to illuminate areas such as benches, bars and desks, should use luminaires that have lamps with narrow beam angles. Clipsal s energy efficient LED downlights are perfect for this as they are available in varying degrees, which can provide more concentrated light output to a dedicated area. They use less power and have an extremely long lamp life, with cool and warm white lamp options available. Accent lighting Accent and decorative lighting can be achieved by selecting one or more types of lighting from our range, creating dramatic effects and highlighting feature areas in the home. LED cabinet and strip lighting provide quality light output and low operating temperature, making them ideal for enclosed spaces, such as behind splashbacks or in pelmets. Natural light Natural light should also be considered when designing the lighting requirements for your home. Maximum sun exposure, as well as good cross ventilation, can be achieved by having north facing living areas. Clipsal lighting solutions such as dimmers, light level sensors and occupancy sensors can reduce your reliance on artificial lighting during the day. The use of natural light will increase the spaciousness of your rooms and the energy efficiency of your home. clipsal.com 9
