A home décor is incomplete without lighting. With many lighting options available, exclusive wall lighting can illuminate the entire home beautifully. At nights, it is ideal to expel the darkness around. Outside and indoors, it can make the entire space safe. Lights, one of the most important inventions of mankind has evolved from the days of ornate candelabras of the 17th century. The entire concept of lighting has changed and the writing (reflection) shows on the walls! Does it not show when light colour bulbs strung together dance happily on Christmas eves and on wedding days from the trees and walls. Lighting has become so matter of fact today that it comes as a surprise only when it is used creatively. Thus, wall lighting becomes an attractive feature when it is used occasionally -for example during a function when names light up out in the darkness. Outdoors regular wall lighting is used at gates and doors for security reasons. Therefore these lights have a very specific function for which they are used. They can be mounted, held with designer shapes and shades, but the source of lighting has to be clear. Mounted next to the wall near the door bell, it helps guests to reach the bell rather than look around for it. Wall lighting outdoors is different from indoors where the purpose differs. ss

Contemporary wall lighting fixtures can be controlled by remote also as technology has advanced… a far cry from the oil and kerosene days, when tins and wrought iron installations were common. Today, they are used more for ornamental purpose in wall lighting. The light bulb invented by Thomas Alva Edison came as a boon for the lighting industry. Today, LED lights mounted on walls do not surprise people. But there was a time when even oil lanterns were looked upon with awe in large houses. Today wall lighting comes with many choices of fluorescent variety too indoors and outdoors. While choosing indoor wall lighting fixtures, for example in the bedroom, choose a combination of bright and dim lights. Elderly people need some light when they wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. It is a good installation even in the childrens’ room. Even they tend to run into things when they are sleepy. They also need proper illumination for the study table with a power switch close by for easy usage.
