Instead of settling for the lights that come with your house, change them for a better lighting experience

Our first — perhaps only — desire for lighting is that it improves our visibility in darkness. This is an important priority. But humans are surprisingly adaptive: In a pitch-black room, the light of a single candle will illuminate the space for us. Our eyes adapt from darkness to something-better-than-darkness quite quickly, even if it is far from the ideal degree of visibility. This is why we often settle for the lighting that comes with a house and, as long as there are lights in each room, we accept this lighting as “good enough.” Designing the lighting of your home builds — and can even determine — the environment for and usage of each space for a truly “illuminating” experience.
