Collingwood’s range of residential lighting allows you to add richness and depth to your lighting scheme, by layering-up light from different sources at different levels in the space, allowing for light of different colour temperatures and intensities to be pulled together, like ingredients in a recipe to create a total effect, which becomes more than just the sum of its constituent parts.
Combine the key elements of the lighting, ambient, task and accent lighting, to create a sophisticated, multi-layered scheme which will enhance the space, bringing it to life and allowing the you to create a multitude of different atmospheres depending on your requirements.
Task lighting
Task lighting is focused light for specific areas where tasks are carried out. To create effective task lighting, light should be directed where it is needed.
In a kitchen, for example, lighting directly onto work surfaces provides illumination for food preparation and cooking without the need for bright light everywhere else.
Downlights and under-cupboard lights are good examples of task lighting
Ambient lighting
Ambient lighting serves as the primary source of light in a space, providing general background illumination.
Ambient lighting is not specifically focused and can be provided in various ways, including through the use of downlights and LED strip lighting.
Accent lighting
Accent lighting, rather than being practical, provides points of focus, highlight and visual interest which add depth and interest to a space.
Ornaments, flowers, architectural features and artwork are examples of features which benefit from accent lighting. Our architectural downlight range will help you to achieve this result.
How lighting is layered
High-Level Lighting
Ceiling lights and high-level up-light often provide ambient light. In a garden, lighting tall trees provides height to a lighting scheme.
Mid-Level Lighting
Wall lights, under cupboard lights, lamps and lit shelving or niches all contribute to an intermediate layer of light. In the garden, wall lights and spike lights highlighting shrubs work well.
Low-Level Lighting
Lights at ground level or set low in walls and kick-boards provide low level mood lighting. The same is true outside, with lit paths and steps providing low-level guide lighting.
