Accent Lights
Using Low voltage and Energy Efficient Accent Lighting
Accent lighting is the reverse of background lighting. It’s used to highlight elements of interior (or sometimes exterior) design, and to make objects and areas of interest in a room stand out so that they become much more of the foreground. It is also used to create a variety of interesting lighting effects.
Accent lighting is essentially focused and specifically directional, which means that different textures and shapes of lighting can be achieved – pools and beams of light can be placed where you want them. Specific areas of rooms that are in shadow from the main lighting can be illuminated in a focused way.
Examples of how accent lighting is often used are lighting around shelves and book cases, lighting for plants, ornaments, and pictures.
The nature of accent lighting means that you may need several sources of light in the room that are likely to be near a specific object or area that is of some importance to you. This means that accent lighting generally needs not to create much heat or require much wattage.
Low voltage halogen dichroic lamps work well for accent lighting because they’re energy efficient, have a long life, they provide a bright, clear and crisp light source, and there’s a good variety of beam angles available making them very versatile.
LED lamps are also very compact so they can fit into some quite inaccessible places, they also don’t give off heat, and they can provide very bright high output and focused beams using low wattage. They also last a long time. For example, 2 watt versions of GU10 LED lights are ideal for accent lighting in a domestic or commercial setting.
Accent lighting fittings and bulbs often have to fit into small spaces without standing out themselves, and as such are available in variety of shapes and sizes to enable you to achieve just the lighting effects you require.
