Accent lighting is one of the most important types of lighting used in residential lighting design. Accent lighting draws attention to or highlights a specific area inside or outside of your home. You can use accent lighting to illuminate artwork, sculptures, plants, architectural features, or any other area of interest. When designing your home’s lighting, consider ambient lighting first and then design layers of task and accent lighting. That way, you move from general lighting design to specific lighting features. Some examples of interior and exterior accent lighting that our team of lighting experts can install in homes are:

• Recessed lights
• Pot, can, or pan lights
• Track lighting
• Wall-mounted lights
• Spotlights
• Sconce lights
• Pendant lights
• LED downlights

Track lighting is a specific type of accent lighting. Its purpose is to highlight or accent something on the wall or ceiling. A track lighting system consists of a wall or ceiling-mounted track or rail on which individual lights are installed. The track or rail supplies wiring and electricity to each light. Track lighting typically provides directional light to illuminate gallery walls, artwork, architectural features, or decor. The lights may be fixed in one location or position on the track, moveable along the track, or pivot to allow you to point the light in different directions, depending on your needs. The advantage of using track lighting as part of your home’s overall lighting design is that it is fully customizable and offers more directional light than other types of accent lighting.
