The Keys to a well lit space

All American Electric Services LLC specializes in residential lighting installation and can help with practical and aesthetic projects for the home. The right lighting can put the finishing touches on any room in your home, but there are a few important factors to consider when making this decision. Let us help you choose the right lighting for your space by reviewing a few items: type of fixture, bulb type, and energy savings. In the case of a power outage, a backup generator can help keep the lights on in and around your space.

Under-Cabinet Lighting

Under-cabinet lighting can help set a calm, sophisticated mood in the kitchen as well as serve a functional purpose by lighting the counter top work space. Some under-cabinet lighting can be plugged into an outlet, but hard-wiring the lights provides a more polished look and enables them to be operated by a dimmer switch. Most under-cabinet lighting is low voltage, meaning that it uses a transformer to step down the voltage coming from the designated panel circuit. Transformers are either integrated into the light’s design or can be hidden from view. For years, All American Electric has been installing the Seagull LX Collection with interchangeable LED modules to suit different cabinet styles. This under-cabinet lighting is both reliable and highly customizable, making a great option for homeowners

Light Bulbs

There are numerous options when it comes to the bulbs used to light up a home. Choosing the right bulb comes down to 3 factors: color, energy efficiency, and heat.

LED Bulbs

LED bulbs emit a bright, white light and give off little to no heat. They are extremely energy efficient and tend to last 25-50 times longer than halogen bulbs. However, the price point of these bulbs is often higher than traditional non-LED bulbs. While some LED bulbs are not dimmable, others can be dimmed using an electronic low-voltage dimmer. Be sure to check the box to see if the LED bulb is dimmable, before purchasing.

Xenon Bulbs

These bulbs emit a warm yellow light and radiate a considerable amount of heat. In fact, halogen bulbs used in under-cabinet lighting can produce enough heat to melt peanut butter in the cabinet! These bulbs provide a cheaper initial investment but do not match the extended life span or energy savings of LED bulbs.

Energy Efficiency

Light Switches

Using multiple switches might not sound advantageous however, placing a switch near the entrance of a room and another switch near the exit can help minimize usage. Another good idea is to connect specific patterns of lights to specific switches. This is a common way to wire recessed lighting so that only certain portions of a room are illuminated, which can help reduce energy costs in the long-run. Motion detecting switches are another type switch that can greatly decrease unnecessary energy usage.

Reduce Wattage

Dimmer switches allow owners to control the amount of wattage used during certain activities. Wattage can be increased whenever maximum light is needed, or decreased to create a soothing ambience for relaxation.
