Bright lighting ideas for your homeWith so many styles to choose from, making sure you select the right lighting can become complicated and overwhelming. Clipsal’s lighting range makes this job easier, by providing you with innovative energy efficient lighting solutions for your home.

Whatever look you want to achieve, there is a solution for all your indoor and outdoor and lighting applications. Combining both functionality and stylish design into every product, Clipsal lighting makes your home come to life.

General lighting General lighting is needed for ambient illumination, and Clipsal’s extensive downlight range is perfect for this. The range includes a variety of finishes to complement and enhance the natural beauty of your home; available in energy efficient CFL or LED options. The soft tones of downlights, when teamed up with dimming controls, are an effective way of creating the perfect mood and desired ambience. Stair/wall lights are also ideal foranywhereinthehomewherelow-levellightingisrequired,suchasstairwells and home theatres.

Task lightingTasklightingrequiredtoilluminateareassuchasbenches,barsanddesks,should use luminaires that have lamps with narrow beam angles. Clipsal’s energy efficient LED downlights are perfect for this as they are available in varying degrees, which can provide more concentrated light output to a dedicated area. They use less power and have an extremely long lamp life, with cool and warm white lamp options available.

Accent lightingAccent and decorative lighting can be achieved by selecting one or more types of lighting from our range, creating dramatic effects and highlighting feature areas in the home. LED cabinet and strip lighting providequalitylightoutputandlowoperatingtemperature,makingthemidealforenclosedspaces,suchasbehindsplashbacksorinpelmets.

Natural lightNatural light should also be considered when designing the lighting requirements for your home. Maximum sun exposure, as well as good cross ventilation, can be achieved by having north facing living areas. Clipsal lighting solutions such as dimmers, light level sensors and occupancy sensors can reduce your reliance on artificial lighting during the day. The use of natural light will increase the spaciousness of your rooms and the energy efficiency of your home.
