Latin America. Interior lighting is a fundamental aspect in the design of any space. Not only does it improve the functionality of a place, and its overall aesthetics, but it can also influence people's mood, and productivity.
According to the company Current, choosing the right lighting can be the difference between a cozy and functional space and one that is uncomfortable, impractical or inefficient. Here we explore current trends and how Current can help you achieve the perfect lighting.
With the advancement of new technologies, and the changing trends in the world of architecture and interior design, there are 5 essential aspects when defining correct lighting:
Energy efficiency: With growing concern for the environment, the imminent increase in energy demand and the price of electricity, LED luminaires have become the most sustainable and complete option on the market. This technology offers a longer lifespan and allows for up to 77% reduction in energy consumption compared to traditional options.
Minimalist design: Luminaires with simple, clean and minimalist designs are increasingly on the rise. Not only is this style elegant, but it also suits a wide variety of decorations and spaces, avoiding visual noise with the addition of intricate and eye-catching artifacts.
Smart lighting: Nowadays, the integration of technology in lighting allows controls and accessories to be used to personalise and optimise the operation of luminaires, controlling aspects such as the intensity and colour of the lights, the optical distribution or the switching on and off of the lights depending on the presence of people or natural light. This is especially useful in shopping centers, retail stores and modern offices, as it allows you to create different environments according to the needs of the moment, reducing costs and optimizing the use of light.
Versatility and adaptability: Lighting solutions that can be adjusted for different environments and needs are also ideal in environments where lighting needs change over time. The ability to change the distribution, the type of mounting or the intensity of the light are key aspects that offer an excellent differential compared to traditional luminaires.
Color Temperature (CBT) and Color Rendering Index (CRI): CBT affects the tone of the environment, making the light warm and inviting or cool and stimulating. The IRC measures the accuracy with which light reproduces colors, with a high CRI ensuring vivid and natural colors. The right combination of TCC and IRC improves the appearance, functionality and comfort of interior spaces.
Current has a variety of products for these spaces, including Columbia Lighting's CWW Contemporary Led Wall Wash, Proline's Strip STL, and Lumination's LTC Series Track Lights.
The right choice of interior lighting can transform a space, improving both its functionality and aesthetics. Before choosing your luminaires, consider the specific needs of the environment and the product, as well as current trends, to find the best allies for the project.
