Frequently Asked Questions
What's task lighting?
Extra lighting focused on where you do things - reading chair, kitchen worktop, craft table. Bright light exactly where you need it, not just general room lighting.
What type of light?
Usually an adjustable lamp - desk lamp, reading lamp, or under-cabinet light. LED is best - bright, doesn't get hot, uses little electricity.
Isn't the ceiling light enough?
Ceiling lights spread light around the room. For close work like reading or cooking, you need light focused right on what you're doing. Much easier on the eyes.
Do you supply the light?
We can supply or position one you've bought. We ensure it's in the right spot and easy to switch on and off.
