Lighting

Choose Lighting for the Room, Not Just the Ceiling

Check fixture scale and the light you need before choosing a finish.

Decide where you need light

Think about the activities in the room. A mirror needs a different lighting arrangement from a dining table. Discuss fixture placement with your electrician before committing to the appearance. Existing wiring and the requirements of the selected product may affect what can be installed.

Check the size at eye level

A pendant can give the room a focal point. Check its diameter and hanging height against the furniture below it. Look at the fixture from the doorway and from a seated position. A large room photograph can make a fitting appear smaller than it will in your home.

Ask for the electrical details

Before ordering KOVAIRE lighting, confirm the fixture dimensions, finish, light source and electrical requirements. Ask which dimmers are compatible with the selected fixture and whether color-rendering data is available. Have your electrician confirm suitability for the location, including any wet-area requirements.

Before you request a quote

  • Decide what each light needs to illuminate.
  • Confirm fixture dimensions and hanging height.
  • Ask your electrician to review the selected specification.
