Lighting Fixture Installation & Replacement FAQs

How do I choose the right lighting fixture for a room?

Consider:

Function: Task, ambient, or accent lighting
Room size and ceiling height
Style and decor
Bulb type and brightness (lumens)
Energy efficiency

What is a lumens rating?

Lumens measure light output, not energy consumption. Higher lumens mean brighter light. For example:

450 lumens ≈ 40W incandescent
800 lumens ≈ 60W incandescent
1,600 lumens ≈ 100W incandescent

Can lighting fixtures save energy?

Yes. Using LED bulbs or Energy Star-rated fixtures reduces energy usage by up to 80% compared to incandescent bulbs. Smart lighting controls, dimmers, and motion sensors further save energy.

What is the difference between ambient, task, and accent lighting?

Ambient: General lighting for the whole room (ceiling fixtures, chandeliers)
Task: Focused lighting for specific activities (desk lamps, under-cabinet lights)
Accent: Highlights features like artwork or architectural details (wall sconces, spotlights)

Can I replace old fixtures without rewiring?

Often, yes. Many fixtures fit standard U.S. electrical boxes. Some situations may require updating wiring or mounting hardware, especially in older homes.
