Posted onAuthorSue Matthews

Determining the correct lighting level for a room can be a complicated business and will depend on many factors. Some people prefer brighter lights whilst others may want a more subdued effect. The level of light for different rooms will also vary – you will want brighter lighting in a kitchen for food preparation whilst you may want a more relaxed lighting effect in your sitting room and bedrooms.
