Having the right lighting can have a huge impact on your business. It can influence everything from employee productivity to how your customers view you. So, what are the most important considerations when choosing commercial lighting? And how can you make the lighting for your business better?

Uplighting can look incredible if used well. But it’s not always obvious how best to incorporate it into your home. Do you need banks of uplighters, like you see in swish hotels? Or can you use them individually? And where should they be situated? Do they need to be inset at ground level, or can they be plugged in like lamps, or wall mounted?

When you think of bedside lighting, the images aren’t overly exciting. Because bedside lamps are practical, in fact, some would say essential – but the designs are not typically groundbreaking. They don’t catch your eye or fill your heart with wonder. They are there simply to perform a task… Unless, that is, you happen to be familiar with Endon Lighting.

There’s no denying that industrial floor lamps have a certain appeal. They’re impressive. They’re different. And they just look good. But it can be hard to imagine them fitting into your home. Will they work with your décor?

Having the right kind of lighting solutions available for your needs is important in any room. It can influence how you use and feel about the space. But in children’s rooms, lighting is doubly important. It not only impacts the way that the room looks and feels. But can impact the mood and behaviour of your children.

It’s in autumn and winter that you most notice the lighting in your home. How effective it is. How attractive it is. And where it could be improved. But the kitchen is an area that is often overlooked when it comes to lighting. But when the nights draw in, kitchen cabinet lighting can be as practical as it is pretty.

Wall lights haven’t always been popular. In fact, for a period of time – from the 70s to the noughties – they were considered old hat, a relic of an older age. Rarely featured in new builds and not the easiest to install, the wall light looked set to unceremoniously fizzle out. Thank goodness fashions change!

Lighting is often overlooked when it comes to bathroom planning. But the type of lights you choose can completely transform the room – and how you use it. Making your bathroom feel bigger and brighter, or more calming and comfortable.

Clustered lighting used to be the remit of hospitality settings. Gracing the ceilings of bars, restaurants, and hotels, these lights made an astonishing style statement. But it wasn’t one that many of us considered for our homes. That many lights would be expensive. The wiring would be a nightmare to sort out. The whole thing felt highly impractical. But designers caught onto the interest and the trend. New formats were developed. And suddenly cluster pendants lights are the home lighting look that everyone wants.

The weather hasn’t been playing ball, but the longer nights are irrefutable proof that we’re heading slowly into autumn. And for many people, that will raise the annual question of whether they should invest in security lights. With budgets tights, outdoor lighting can feel like an unnecessary expense. So, what’s the case for buying security lights? What are their benefits? And do you really need them?
