Chandeliers:Chandelier are versatile, as you can hang them in any high-traffic room. Offering as little or as much light as you need, chandeliers also add a decorative element to the room.
Pendants:These are perfect if you want to add a little extra light to specific areas. They are great for hanging over tables, couches, or desks.
Ceiling Fans:Ceiling fans are dual purpose fixtures. Not only do they provide light, but they also cool the room more effectively than table fans. You’ll want to have your ceiling fan installed in areas that are high traffic, like the living room or in bedrooms for those warm summer nights.

Accent Light Fixtures: Table Lamps, Floor Lamps & More
Accent light fixtures are best suited for rooms where relaxation is the main goal. Table lamps can sometimes provide additional light for reading or when you’re on your laptop.
Table Lamps:Table lamps are a great accent to a living room or bedroom. Not only do they offer light right by your bedside or your couch, they can also match the decor of your room.
Floor Lamps:Floor lamps are a great alternative to ceiling light fixtures. While they don’t have as much illumination, they don’t need to be installed and are easy to move around a room.
Desk Lamps:Desk lamps provide a focused light in the area they are placed. Like their name suggests, these lights are ideal for work spaces. The light from the lamp helps reduce eye strain as you work.
