Use only a soft cloth. Many polishes are too abrasive and could affect the finish. If you use polished brass outdoors, know that it will tarnish, but car wax will preserve the finish.

Yes. Dimming increases incandescent lamp life and halogen lamps are a type of incandescent lamp with a tungsten filament just like a traditional incandescent lamp. A pilot test performed by Lutron, a major manufacturer of dimmers, suggests that halogen lamps will have an expected lamp life similar to that of other incandescent lamps when dimmed. As an example, one type of halogen lamp with a rated life of 2000 hours dimmed to 25% has a life extension of about four times that of a non-dimmed lamp. Lutron is continuing testing with various halogen lamps.

Yes. The use of dimmers can reduce the use of electricity and, thereby, save money and help conserve the environment. Dimmer use can also increase the life of the lamps (light bulbs) being controlled.

Dimmers may be used almost anywhere: bathrooms, bedrooms, conference rooms, dining rooms, family rooms, game rooms, hallways, kitchens, living rooms, media rooms, restaurants, taverns, teleconference rooms, and theatres.

Dimmers can be extremely functional by providing the flexibility to vary the amount of light depending on the size of the space, the mood and/or age of the individuals in that space, and the task or activity being performed by those individuals.

Unfortunately no, compact fluorescents cannot be used in lights with motion sensor. Some, but not all, compact fluorescents can be used with dimmers. However, use compact fluorescents when possible because they have a longer life and put out four times the light of incandescent bulbs.

Above and beyond style, portable lamps should be utilized in rooms where additional task lighting is needed. For example, light sources on desks should be approximately 16″ above the work surface and 13″ from the desk front.

Wall sconces should be installed 60″ from the floor. For hallways they should be spaced 8′-10′ apart.

Floor lamps are usually needed to provide task lighting for reading, homework, etc. They provide a downward beam of light. Torchieres, like the one pictured right, reflect light upward off the ceiling and walls for ambient effects, often making ceilings seem higher and rooms feel larger.

Since they’re so versatile, they can be used in pairs or alone as a beautiful focal point in any room. Buffet lamps look great in the foyer as a warm welcome into your home. Or try placing a pair on your dresser on either side of the mirror; or on the nightstand for bedside reading. Of course, buffet lamps can also be used to add luster to your dining room.

Pendant and/or island lighting has become mandatory in well appointed kitchens. They provide an attractive aesthetic focal point and they provide the functional light necessary to complement the room’s activities. Mini-pendants should be hung 30″-40″ from the island surface depending on the size of the island.

In general, the height of the main source of light should be 30″-36″ above the table. There should be a minimum of 150 watts total in the chandelier. Using a dimmer on your chandelier will allow you change the ambient light based upon your dining situation. You should also consider the room size and table width when choosing your chandelier: -10’x10′ rooms should use a chandelier with a 17″-20″ diameter -12’x12′ rooms should use a chandelier with a 20″-16″ diameter -14’x14′ rooms should use a chandelier with a 24″-30″ diameter -A chandelier should be no smaller than half the width of the table beneath it, and no larger than the table width minus 12″.

There are three basic types of lighting that work together in your home: Ambient (general lighting)- provides an area with overall illumination. Also known as general lighting, it radiates a comfortable level of brightness without glare and allows you to see and walk about safely. Task- helps you perform specific tasks, such as reading, grooming, preparing and cooking food, doing homework, working on hobbies, playing games and balancing your checkbook. Accent- adds drama to a room by creating visual interest.
