Dimming controls are ideal for the living room because they allow
you to design the lighting to suit each mood and family activity.
Fireplaces of brick or stone can be framed with recessed downlights
installed in the ceiling over the mantle. Wall sconces on each side
of the fireplace are an attractive addition that draw attention
to the fireplace, while providing general lighting for the room.
TV and video games require low level lighting that does not wash
out the screen's image.
Glass shelves and glassware can be accented by recessed fixtures.
Miniature track lights can be installed under shelves to provide the
room with accent and general lighting.
The use of low-voltage fixtures with tungsten-halogen bulbs will emit
a bright, white light that will make glassware sparkle, while providing
light for serving.
Reading requires task lighting from behind the reader's shoulder. The
bottom of the shade should be at eye level.
