Lighting is becoming a very popular home improvement
project. Installing new lights can range from
installing a new light bar above your bathroom
sink to installing all new recessed light fixtures
throughout your home. GSP Restoration has been
assisting our customers with choosing, installing
and maintaining the lighting in their homes
for over a decade.
There are more lighting choices available today
than at any other time. The industry has really
expanded in recent years. This has allowed room
for many more choices in terms of lights for
your home. Lighting can fall into many different
styles. Some of these include: fluorescent,
landscaping, outdoor, recessed, light bars and
track lighting.
Installing new outdoor lights on the exterior
of your home can greatly improve the curb appeal
of any home. With the style choices available
today you can easily match the style of your
home. Another option is to add security lights
around your home. These can be motion activated
or switch activated. Some security systems even
have them tied into the alarm to illuminate
the exterior of a home if the alarm sounds.
Fluorescent lights are another type of light
that is gaining in popularity. The main reasons
for this are energy conservation and maintenance.
The fluorescent light takes much less energy
to operate than just about all other types of
light. This is especially true with incandescent
and halogen lights. Maintenance is also decreased
because fluorescent bulbs have a very long life
when compared to other types of lights.
Recessed lights vary upon their intended application.
There are some models that are made to be installed
only during new construction and some models
that are designed for remodeling work. Another
type of difference is for their contact with
attic insulation. Only certain models are made
for direct contact with insulation, these models
are designed with a thermal shut off switch
if the lights get too hot.
Track lighting offers many advantages over other
types of lighting. This is primarily due to
costs. The track itself only has to be wired
in one spot in order to provide power to the
entire track. This will dramatically lower the
cost of installation. Another reason is because
track lighting can be installed quickly. Unlike
other types of lighting, track lights are installed
on the outside of the ceiling instead of being
installed inside the ceiling.
Bathrooms normally require special lighting.
This comes in the form of light bars, water
proof casings and heater combinations. Light
bars are strip lights that are normally found
above bathroom vanities. Waterproof casings
are required near a shower. Heater combinations
are lights that have built in heaters and sometimes
integrated into the bathroom exhaust fans.
The different styles of lights described in
this article are just some of the possible choices
that GSP Restoration can assist you with. We
have the knowledge and experience to install
any type of light available on the market today.
