Choosing the right type of lighting increases convenience and safety
The Nordic countries are among nature's own lights. In summer there is enough light, but as fall approaches, the need for extra light increases significantly. Stores specializing in renovation and interior design are full of a wide range of lighting options, but how do you choose the ones that best suit your own needs?
Interior design tips may not be our strongest area of expertise, but we've put together an article on what to consider before you head to a lighting store to make a purchase. And once you've bought the lamp, 24 Center is here to help when you need to get the lights in place.
Think about the type of space you are lighting and what is being done in the space
Perhaps you are interested in crafts or you like to read? These hobbies require high-quality lighting to function ergonomically and not put unnecessary strain on the eyes due to darkness. On the other hand, movie enthusiasts may need a more dim lighting. If there are several types of activities in a room, a light with brightness control can be an excellent choice. This way you always get the right lighting.
Do you live in a multi-storey building with many stairs or does your apartment have many corridors? Then it may seem that the light switch is always in the wrong place. The motion detector makes it easier to move between floors and in large rooms, especially when you have to carry e.g. laundry or heavy baskets in your hands. Lights with motion detectors and time switches also improve home security. At the same time, you get savings in electricity consumption, as when motion is no longer detected, time switches prevent lights from being turned on unnecessarily.
Do you have to keep ghosts and other strange things out of your child's room? Soft lighting in the child's room increases the feeling of safety in the evening and at night. The night light can be a softer lighting so as not to disturb sleep, but it can be helpful for nighttime toilet visits.
Paying attention to energy efficiency
By choosing energy-efficient lamps, you can save energy and money in the long run while reducing your environmental impact. When considering buying a luminaire or any electrical appliance, check its energy efficiency rating. The energy efficiency rating assesses devices on a scale from A to G, with A being the best and G being the weakest.
Do you want to create an atmosphere or highlight the small details of your home?
LED light kits are multifunctional interior design elements that are suitable both for highlighting floors and for lifting up collectibles in display cases. These lights can also be used in damp areas. Beautiful LED lights can add atmosphere to your sauna, for example, and make it an even more pleasant place to relax.

Attention to external lighting
With the right outdoor lighting, you can highlight the best aspects of your yard while increasing safety. When garden arches are properly illuminated, you improve the smoothness and safety of movement. At the same time, you offer extra protection for mail carriers and any service company employees doing their early morning tasks, such as newspaper distribution and road sanding.
When it comes to outdoor lighting, you can consider a solution that works with motion detector and time switch, especially when it comes to the brightest lights. As darkness approaches, the lights make it more comfortable during the evening darkness and facilitate early mornings. And you don't have to worry about when you're away from home if you've forgotten to turn off the lights.
At home, you can use motion detectors to keep track of what's happening at home - for example, when the lights come on, you'll get a notification that the pizza has arrived on Friday.
What to do yourself and when to call a professional
You can install a switch in the lamp yourself or connect it with a lamp connector, which is also called a sugar bridge. However, if the lamp is fixed and requires connection directly to the wall or ceiling, it is necessary to seek the help of an electrician. Similarly, if you need to upgrade or repair a socket or connections, you should always call on an electrician. If installation work is carried out in wet areas, it is also worth contacting a professional. Electrical work always requires a high level of safety.
