Lighting Options
The road to good lighting can seem like an impossible journey because of all the choices that need to be made... lighting fixtures, bulbs, switches, dimmers, timers, etc. Good lighting balances quality of light, energy efficiency, lighting controls, costs and of course, careful installation.
Whether you are interested in accent lighting to highlight are or architectural details, landscape lighting or exterior security lighting, our experience with and respect for old houses means that you can rely on us to help navigate the maze of choices.
RECESSED LIGHTING
Recessed lighting can create both drama and excitement or develop a warm, cozy environment. It can be adapted to all styles and settings. Recessed fixtures maintain the clean lines of contemporary ceilings and are especially useful in low-ceiling areas. You can also supplement the general lighting of a decorative chandelier with dramatic, functional recessed down lighting over dining and serving areas.
You can light walls to make small rooms seem larger, to enhance wall textures, to light bookshelves, to accent artwork and plants. And the recessed fixtures we use are UL listed for damp locations such as bathrooms or under eaves.
TRACK LIGHTING
You can create dramatic interplays of light and shadow with versatile track lighting. Swivel, rotate and aim lampholders in any direction for general room lighting, wall washing or accent lighting.
Faced with bad lighting -- either too little light or glare problems ~ look to track. Track is a great problem solver because of its flexibility in changing position, changing light bulbs, or even changing fixtures. Budget and rewiring concerns can easily be solved as track can be mounted anywhere without rewiring the ceiling. Choose from Halogen, fluorescent and incandescent models.
Enjoy and display the beauty of your grounds, not only by day but also by night. Enhance the natural beauty of your landscape and create more use of outside space such as a deck or the garden after dark. Provide a great transition between indoor and outdoor living for nighttime recreation and entertainment plus it serves as security lighting to avoid prowlers.
Fluorescent lighting is excellent for high level lighting in the kitchen, family room, laundry, bath and workshop. A benefit of fluorescent lighting is that it gives more light per watt of electricity than incandescent bulbs and cuts energy expenses enormously. Another benefit is that with special dimmers and ballasts the fluorescence can be dimmed to enhance the mood of a room or for lighting smaller areas and objects.
WALL SCONCES
Wall sconces offer a wide selection of decor changes. Many sconces can be easily changed without disturbing the wiring allowing you to change the look of the room with minimal disturbance.
Create dramatic lighting effects on walls with Tungsten Halogen or use incandescent bulbs for a warm glow. Whatever the application and no matter what your lighting problem may be, Anton Electric will help you choose the right lighting for your home, addition or business. That's our job!
PENDANT LIGHTING
Pendant lighting is ideal for lighting intimate dining areas, kitchen table and breakfast nooks. Many pendants are available with downlights for task lighting, and a variety of designs come in energy-efficient compact fluorescent.
There are many styles to choose from, plain and ornate, modern and antique, and you can be sure to find something to fit-in with your decor.
