What is “Mood Lighting”? Well, imagine the following scenario: You are expecting friends around for an in¬formal dinner, and let’s assume that you will be dining in the kitchen. First you have to prepare the starter and main course and then tidy up and lay the table. During preparation and cooking you will need good, strong, ambient lighting. Tidying up and lay¬ing the table could be performed with softer, ambient lighting. When your friends arrive, it would be cosier to have an aperitif under incidental lighting, perhaps with wall-washes (wall lights pointed at the walls). The meal could be enjoyed perhaps with soft lighting, accented with a couple of candles. Time to prepare the dessert and coffee: well, just light the relevant work surfaces, without upsetting the overall mood. A number of lighting scenes have been created in this example through subtle use of lighting. These scenes (moods) can be changed simply by flicking a light switch or pressing a button on a remote. “Intelligent” lighting systems can be pre-programmed so that you can re¬call a specific scene easily, promoting the exact mood you wish to convey. These lighting systems can be used in any or all rooms in the house. One of the greatest benefits of these systems is that you can create moods, irrespective of the wiring set-up in your home. The following photos uses examples of different settings from our own self build.
