RIGHT LIGHT: Pick the perfect fixture for each space
Different types of fixtures not only affect the light in a room, but the way a room is used as well. For example, in a large space, one or more pendants can help define a smaller portion of that space to make it more conducive to particular activities, such as dining, cozying up with a book or some other activity.

Even one fixture, if it is the right type, can completely change the setting of a room. A modern fixture placed in an otherwise traditional space can freshen up the design and even enhance the traditional elements.

We are remodeling our kitchen. What are the best options for using LED lighting for the different types of lights needed in this room?                                     - Louise C.

There are many options available today in the LED lighting category. Recessed downlighting and undercabinet lighting offer the most product options. A number of lighting manufacturers have developed a comprehensive line of LED products for use in residential applications. The Internet and your local ALA-member lighting showroom are great sources of information about the many LED products available, including the quality and amount of light they produce.
