Why should I select contemporary lighting?

If you have not used or don't have any idea of the contemporary lighting, you may want to ask "Why should I select the contemporary lighting fixtures for my home?". Apparently, you are doing a right thing. When you take a look at the website (http://lightingsmart.com/), you visually find the something difference right way. You may say "Oh! Contemporary Lighting looks like modern and innovation". You are right, but not complete. Contemporary Lighting has two major features: modern styles and powerful functions.

Modern styles

Modern styles of lighting present not only their shape designs but also their glass colors and finish. The shape design is benefited from the technology improvement and the futuristic designers. Technology makes the designer's ideas become reality such as this table lamp that like an animal. Also, technology can make glass have different colors and shapes. For example, most of the contemporary lighting fixtures have Frosted, Amber, etc. that have a beautiful look.

Powerful functions

What's the powerful functions for contemporary lighting? First, its modern fixtures can meet any demand from the modern homes. As I mentioned in Modern Styles, the technology allows contemporary designers to create thousand different fixtures for home and commercial areas. Second is that light bulbs have had an revolutionary change such as low voltage, fluorescent bulb, halogen bulbs, energy saving LED , etc. The low voltage bulbs not only make more safer than traditional incandescent bulbs but also allow to create incredible lighting fixtures. See

There are the versatile halogen light bulbs that may be used for virtually any purpose, indoors or out. They are ideal for contemporary lighting and general illumination in the home or office. All Halogen bulbs, both the 120 volt and 130 volt, are dimmable. For bulbs, we have to too much to say. I would like to leave the readers to do your own research about Bulbs.

As a quick conclusion, do you think that you should select contemporary lighting fixtures for your home? Let me know what your idea.

How to select contemporary lighting fixtures - TIPS

Buy a new home or rebuild home you have, congratulation! Ok, now you are in an important step: select lighting fixtures for your home. I am glad you stop by here to share the experience from my customers at http://lightingsmart.com/.

Most of the customers surf Internet to find the lighting fixtures, they always say, Wow! too many fixtures, where should I start? Well, it is not surprise, I am sure. Indeed, there are a lot of the contemporary lighting fixtures in most of the lighting websites. The lighting styles and colors make you spin. Don't worry, next a few of the minutes, I am going to share with you how I helped my customers to walk through this important step.

Here is a list of the simple questions I always asked my customers:

Q1: Where do you want to layout the lighting fixtures?

Some of them said, "I am looking for a lighting fixtures for Kitchen". So I directly pointed them to the URL of "Kitchen lighting" on the website.(http://lightingsmart.com/index.php?page=search&subpg=Kitchen). Then they asked me "where did you find them?". It is easy, just type "Kitchen" on search box from the website. Most of the websites provide you with the search function.

Some of them still said "they are still too many to select". I totally agree it since there are many lighting fixtures available to Kitchen. OK, here was my next question I asked the customers:

Q2: Where should the lighting fixtures be put in your Kitchen? Ceiling or Wall? Top on the island or table?

They said "ceiling lighting". Good start! Now I asked the customer another question:

Q3: How high is your kitchen ceiling?

Some of them said, "God! I don't know" and most of them gave me its number, 8ft height. I suggest that you measure the height for your kitchen ceiling. Let's assume 8 ft (industry standard). So far, based on the information the customers provided me, I would like to recommend them to buy "ceiling mount lighting fixtures". Well, it is very close what you are looking for following my final question:

Q4: What color of the fixtures are you looking for?

The color selection is really depended on your kitchen style and the color matching with your wall, cabinet, table, floor, etc. You may have the following choices: Chrome or Brushed Steel, Rustic, and white. But the glass for the lighting fixtures are Frosted for most of contemporary ceiling mount lighting fixtures.

Congratulation! Glad you finding your lighting fixture for your kitchen.
