About Hometown Lighting

Hometown Lighting focuses on the needs of our customers and their lifestyles.  To create a lighting plan requires knowing all there is to know regarding our client's preferences.  The most important factor for lighting consultant is their own experience and creativity.  Architectural elements from the project can offer several creative ideas.  Featuring these elements will show off the clients’ home to their guests and visitors

Ambience is created by using several lighting techniques.  Indirect up-lighting is the most calming element in a lighting design consultant’s briefcase.  Up-lighting adds warmth into a space giving a calm feeling to the entire area.

Accent lighting adds interest by increasing intensity levels to given focal points like art, pictures, vaulted ceilings, niches, coves, alcoves, bookcases and kitchen cabinetry.  Layering different levels of lighting throughout the project gives continuity and adds flow through the space.

Task lighting will include planning your kitchen, bathroom vanity, office and any studio or workstations that each client requires.  Establishing a “path of light” in every direction of travel through the home is very important.  Too many times, proper locations of switches are not well thought out.  It is important to have your electrical plan worked out with a lighting professional prior to meeting your electrician on the job site

Several other categories that need to be considered are recessed down lights, site and landscape lighting, security and safety, dimming and controls, proper sizing of ceiling fans for a given space, bath and kitchen exhaust and sones (sound) levels, backup automatic generator systems, central vacuum systems, floor receptacles and their locations, energy efficient products, low maintenance and long-life items (LED, fluorescent, fiber-optic), and several other custom elements.

Just one e-mail or phone call to us is all you need to get started.  I have been involved in the business since 1976, and a lot has changed since then.  Staying current with new products and continuing education in our field is key to delivering the best results.
