Types of Indoor Lighting

Indoor lighting not only brightens spaces but also sets the tone and accentuates the design elements of a room. Our certified electricians at Awesome Home Services can help complete your interiors with quality fixtures.

We can install many types of popular indoor lighting fixtures, including:

• Ceiling mounts. Ceiling mount lighting fixtures are a practical choice for general illumination. These fixtures attach directly to the ceiling, making them ideal for spaces with low to moderate ceiling heights. Modern ceiling mounts come in a variety of designs, from flush mount options for a seamless look to semi-flush fixtures that add a touch of elegance and can incorporate decorative elements for added style. 
• Recessed fixtures. Recessed fixtures, commonly referred to as can lights, are installed within the ceiling itself, providing a sleek and unobtrusive form of lighting. Perfect for rooms with low ceilings or areas where a minimalist aesthetic is desired, recessed lights are versatile and can be used for broad illumination or targeted spot lighting.
• Chandeliers. Chandeliers can serve as a striking centerpiece to any room, usually gracing dining rooms, foyers, or living areas. Their grandeur and elegance make them a focal point, while the numerous styles – from traditional crystal designs to modern, sculptural pieces – provide ample opportunity to make a stylish statement.
• Track lighting. Track lighting features a series of individual light heads mounted along a linear track system. This allows for flexible configurations, as the heads can be adjusted to spotlight art, illuminate workspaces, or highlight specific architectural features. Track lighting is a great option for dynamic environments or creative interiors.
• Architectural and accent lighting. These specialized lights draw attention to particular elements within a room. Architectural lighting is often integrated into the structure itself, such as cove lighting that casts a glow on ceilings or walls. Accent lighting highlights objects like sculptures, plants, or art collections, enhancing their visual presence and creating points of interest throughout the space.

Types of Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor lighting plays an important role in enhancing both the aesthetic appeal and the functionality of your home's exterior spaces. Beyond beautification, outdoor lighting can serve practical purposes like improving safety, increasing security, and facilitating nighttime enjoyment of your garden, patio, or deck. Our Colorado indoor and outdoor lighting services include dedicated assistance with selecting and positioning outdoor fixtures so that you can create an inviting and secure atmosphere that extends the usability of your outdoor areas well into the evening.

Our electricians are prepared to design and install many types of outdoor lighting, including:

• Path lighting. Path lighting illuminates walkways and driveways. These lights are typically low to the ground and are designed to highlight pathways without overpowering the surrounding area. Path lighting can be both functional and decorative, often featuring sleek or intricate designs that complement your outdoor aesthetic. They guide guests safely to your home while adding a touch of elegance and charm to your landscape. Path lighting can be accomplished with garden lighting, flush lighting, bollard lighting, downlights, solar LEDs, and more.
• Security lighting. Security lighting is primarily focused on deterring intruders and improving the safety of your property. These lights are often mounted at strategic points around the exterior of the home, such as near doorways, garages, or entrances. Motion sensor lights are a popular choice for security purposes, automatically illuminating when movement is detected and thus alerting homeowners to any unexpected activity. By using bright, focused beams, security lighting can cover wide areas, improving visibility and increasing peace of mind.
• Outdoor wall lighting. Outdoor wall lighting is a versatile option for illuminating specific areas near the exterior walls of your home. These lights are often installed next to doors or on patios and decks, providing functional lighting for outdoor activities. Available in various styles ranging from classic lantern designs to modern sconces, outdoor wall lighting can complement architectural features while enriching the ambiance of your outdoor living spaces. 

Should I Upgrade My Lighting to LED?

LED lighting offers several potential advantages over traditional lighting solutions. LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, are renowned for their energy efficiency, longevity, and environmental friendliness.

LEDs consume significantly less electricity compared to incandescent or fluorescent bulbs, which can lead to substantial savings on your utility bills over time. Additionally, LEDs boast an impressive lifespan, often lasting up to 25,000 hours or more, reducing the frequency of replacements and associated costs.

LEDs also offer enhanced flexibility in terms of design and functionality. They are available in a wide range of colors and can be used in dimmable setups. Their compact size and robust design make them suitable for a variety of applications, from under-cabinet lighting to dramatic outdoor installations. From an environmental perspective, LEDs are a more sustainable option, as they contain fewer harmful materials like mercury, which can be found in some other types of bulbs.

The initial cost of LEDs might be higher than traditional options, but the long-term savings and benefits often outweigh the upfront investment. Our Colorado Springs indoor and outdoor lighting services include LED upgrades. If you’re on the fence, our experts are happy to answer your questions and walk you through how LEDs can benefit your home.

Why Should an Electrician Handle My Lighting Installation?

When planning to install new lighting in your home, licensed electricians can bring an invaluable level of professionalism, experience, and skill to your project. Licensed electricians are trained and knowledgeable about current codes and regulations and can ensure that your installation is compliant with local standards. This expertise helps prevent potential safety hazards that could arise from improperly installed lighting systems. An improperly wired light fixture, for example, can lead to electrical fires or cause circuit overloads that damage your home's electrical system, resulting in costly repairs. 

Licensed electricians also bring specialized tools and techniques to the job, which can make a difference in both the outcome and the efficiency of the installation process. Whether dealing with recessed lighting or an elaborate chandelier, professionals are equipped to handle complex installations that might be challenging or even dangerous for an untrained individual. This can lead to quicker completion times and fewer disruptions, allowing you to enjoy your new lighting sooner. Additionally, electricians often have access to high-quality materials that you might not be able to purchase on your own, contributing to a longer-lasting and more reliable lighting setup.

We like to say that our lighting installation services are so good, they’re awesome. Enjoy the peace of mind of knowing our licensed electricians can safely handle every aspect of your lighting project, including design, wiring, and physical fixture installation.
