Ceiling lights are a type of lighting fixtures that are mounted on the ceiling. They often provide ambient lighting and are recognized as a practical solution to light up a room, making it easier to read, move around and spot dust. In addition, they often form the centerpiece of a rooms design and can be complemented with wall lights to provide a more complete lighting scheme. Ceiling lights are available in various shapes, sizes and finishes. The most popular finish would be a painted matt white, a metallic, nickel, chrome or brass finish which are available in several contemporary, traditional and luxurious designs. Generally, there are three main types of ceiling lights that are available on the market today. The first type would be the downlight. This is a type of light that is mounted on the ceiling and the bulb is pointed downwards. The beauty of the downlight is that they spread out light evenly and can be used to create a spotlight or soft diffusion of light over an area. The second type would be the pendant light. This type of light is suspended from the ceiling and provides a more direct source of light. The pendant light is also an attractive design statement as a single light fixture and can also become a focal point when multiple pendant lights are used in a room. The third type are flush mounts. These are similar to downlights, but the bulb and fixture is generally encased in a flush mounted cover so that the light is distributed around the entire circumference of the ceiling. For a safer way to light the home, LED technology should be considered because LED lights are up to 70% more energy-efficient than traditional lighting. LED ceiling lights use 90% of their energy in the production of light, with only 10% of the energy beinglost in heat. LED ceiling lights are also safe to touch and do not heat up, making them perfect for those areas of your home where the lights are switched on for long periods of time.
