Richmond Hill, Ontario is a growing community where many of the homes are being renovated to add more light in basements and other rooms. Pot lighting provides rooms that where once darkened, like a basement, with the much needed light to comfortably live, work and play in that space. Pot lighting is a recessed light that contains a directional bulb which could be pointed at various items in the room or towards the center of the room to open it up and bring in additional light, making the room appear larger and brighter which is more inviting to people.  

Richmond Hill Pot Lighting companies or electricians who are certified to install pot lights will have a strong background in housing structures. This gives them the ability to determine where a pot light can and can not be installed properly. The most common pot lights are recessed and will go back up into the ceiling.  Other pot lights hang down and a plate or covering is placed on the ceiling.

A do-it-your-self type individual may try their hand at installing pot lights; however, they are pretty tricky and should be left to a professional.

Saving money is on everyone's mind right now and usually is when it comes to remodeling or adding on to a room. It is not going to save a homeowner very much money if they attempt to install pot lighting and they can not accomplish the project without having to call a professional and have it redone. An insured installer has the tools and the knowledge so they can do a good job for a homeowner and will back that job up with their insurance and possibly a guarantee. When a do-it-your-self type person tries to install pot lighting, they could run into all types of troubles.

With the pot lights, a family or homeowner can enjoy directional lighting in any room of the house. The lights have a large, low-energy; high efficiency light bulb that will direct light up to 9 feet away from the pot holding the large bulb. The unique thing about these lighting instruments are that they can be pointed towards a painting or other piece of art work or a collection of knick knacks or just about any décor. This helps to shine a light directly on something that is special or important to the homeowner.    

When looking at different design patterns of pot lighting, make sure the installers do not show a homeowner a straight pattern that runs directly from one wall to the other across the room. This will resemble an airport runway and be very distracting from everything else in the room. In order to optimize the space and bring the most light into the room, pot lights should be installed in a circular pattern around the outer most part of the ceiling and then directed towards the center of the room. They also need to be careful when installing them near the corners so they do not install them too far apart and leave the corners of the room in the dark.
