Breaking Down the Process: Gemstone Lighting Edition

Considering gemstone lighting for your home? Here's a comprehensive guide to help you determine if it's the right choice for you, from style and colour selection all the way to installation and maintenance. 

Determine If Gemstone Lighting Is Right For You

There are a few things to consider when deciding if gemstone lighting is right for you and your home. To help you make this decision, ask yourself the following questions: 

• Why do I need lighting? Am I looking to add ambient light to a room or highlight certain features? 
• Do I like the look of gemstone lighting? It's important to consider both the track and the soffit when making this decision. 
• Does gemstone lighting suit my home? This ties in closely with personal taste but is also worth considering practically. For example, gemstone lighting works well in both contemporary and traditional spaces. 

If you answered yes to all of the above, congratulations—gemstone lighting may be ideal for your home! 

Track Style and Colour Selection 

Now that you've decided that gemstone lighting is right for you, it's time to start shopping! When selecting gemstone lighting, there are two things to keep in mind: style and colour. 

The first thing to consider is style. There are three different tracks to choose from: linear (the most popular), chandelier, and pendant. The track you select will be based on the type of soffit in your home. If you have a high ceiling with a recessed soffit, then a linear track would be the best option. If you have a lower ceiling or an exposed soffit, then a chandelier or pendant would be better suited for your space. 

The second thing to consider is colour. When selecting the colour of your fixtures, it's important to match it to the soffit. If your soffit is white, then go with white fixtures. If your soffit is black, then go with black fixtures. By matching the colour of your fixtures to your soffit, you can create a seamless look that is both stylish and modern. 

Customization of Your Fixture

One of the great things about gemstone lighting is that it can be customized to suit your specific needs. For example, you can add animations or change the light intensity depending on the mood you're trying to create. No matter what your style or budget may be, there's a way to customize your fixture to suit your needs. And no two fixtures have to be alike—the sky is literally the limit when it comes to customization! 

Installation 

Now that everything has been selected, it's time for installation! The gemstone installation process will vary depending on which type of fixture you've chosen (recessed, suspended, or surface mounted), but our team of experts will walk you through every step of the process so there are no surprises. 

Maintenance

Last but not least, let's talk maintenance. One thing to keep in mind is that LED bulbs have a lifespan of 50,000 hours—that's over 5 years! In other words, once your fixture is installed, you won't have to worry about changing bulbs for quite some time. 

Of course, dust buildup can still occur over time so we recommend wiping down your fixture(s) every few months using a soft dry cloth. Not only will this help keep them looking their best but it will also extend their lifespan even further.
