Home theatre lighting installation Milton ON
You can have so much fun with home theatre lighting options. The lighting tips of other rooms in your home should be modified in the home theatre. Ambient lighting is of course making an appearance as it provides a great base layer of light. The best option would be recessed lighting or potlights. Hanging light fixtures are not the best idea in the home theatre, whether they’re in the basement or not (which in many cases they are). Suspended light fixtures will reflect on the screen and create an annoying glare. What else is there to the home theater light setup? You can consider adding wall sconces, task lamps adjacent to seating and LED or fibre optic lighting strips in the baseboards or floor for a really cool effect.
For wall sconces, make sure the light is pointing up or down, and during a movie, TV show or video game to avoid annoying reflections. They’re there to provide complementary illumination, so make sure the light is dim or have a dimmer switch. The electrical box behind the lights should be up to code, so make sure you involve your electrician in this task. Table lamps are handy if you need temporary lighting for specific tasks. If you have smart technology integrated with your overhead lighting, however, you may eliminate the need for table task lamps. |

LED lighting is not absolutely necessary for functionality, but they provide a cool effect. If you’re using LED strips, they can be cut and customized to the length and areas you want to add them to. Some ideas of where to add them are: underneath the seats, behind the TV or projector screen, walkways to the bathroom or entrance (like in a movie theatre), on baseboards, etc. The possibilities are limited by your own imagination. Furthermore, LEDs are the lighting of choice for the floor not just for the nice ambiance it creates, but for the fact that it doesn’t heat up and remains cool, which is important for overall safety and reducing fire hazard risk.
Other additional lighting features to be considered included adding a dimmer switch as it sets the mood and you can control how bright or dark the room is. The home theatre room should also have full illumination capability (for example, potlights), as this is needed when you’re finished with watching the show and need to see where to vacuum the crumbs on the floor! If you integrate smart home technology with the lighting, whether you use an app or voice control, you will help make the home theatre experience not only immersive, but absolutely convenient as well.
