Whether you are relaxing at home alone or throwing a big party, the lighting throughout your house matters. It lends itself to the general tone and ambiance while also allowing you the brightness you need to get things done. When you need lights installed in your home, turn to the professionals at Mr. Electric of St. Paul. We perform lighting installation in St. Paul, MN, so your home has the beautiful and functional lighting you deserve.
How Long Does it Take To Install Lighting?
In general, it might take approximately one to two hours to install a standard light fixture in your home. Of course, the time will vary depending on the location and the type of lighting fixture in question. Furthermore, if the goal is to install wiring for a completely new lighting fixture location, that will take much longer.
Once your Mr. Electric of St. Paul electrician understands the details and goals of your project, we can provide you with a more accurate time estimate. Our target is always to complete your lighting installation project as efficiently as possible without compromising on safety.
What’s the Right Lighting For My Home?
There are so many different types of lighting and various styles to choose from. Only you can answer the right lighting for your home; however, the professionals from Mr. Electric of St. Paul are happy to guide you toward the right answer by explaining your options and helping you determine what lighting you need. There are three major lighting types to consider, including:
- Ambient Lighting: This is the primary source of light in a room that provides the overall illumination. The goal is to achieve a comfortable level of brightness that makes it easy to see and move around a room. Ceiling lights, wall sconces, and floor lamps are all sources of ambient lighting. Windows and skylights also provide a natural source of ambient light.
- Task Lighting: This type of lighting helps you get things done. For example, reading, working, or cooking are all tasks that require specific types of lighting. Task lighting is generally brighter than ambient lighting. Desk lamps, under-cabinet lighting, and LED strip lights are all examples of helpful task lighting.
- Accent Lighting: Accent lighting truly brings style into play. It helps you highlight interesting aspects of your home and make them a focal point. Consider lighting to showcase artwork or architectural elements. Track lighting, wall-mounted fixtures, and recessed lighting all provide accent lighting.
When you are looking to revamp the lighting in your home, but you feel unsure of where to start, the best place is to talk to a professional from Mr. Electric of St. Paul. We are available to guide you in the right direction and perform the lighting installation swiftly and efficiently.
