Modern LED Ceiling Lights

What are LED Ceiling Lights?

LEDs are light emitting diodes. They are extremely energy efficient bulbs that have come to replace incandescents and other bulb types while offering significant energy savings to homeowners. Most ceiling lights on the market, including flush mounts, semi flush mounts, and pendants of all types are compatible with LED bulbs. While many homeowners worry that LEDs will cast harsh lighting, the reality is these bulbs have come a long way and render warm light that is very similar to incandescents. 

What Are The Different Types of LED Ceiling Lights?

Nearly every type of ceiling light these days is available with LED bulbs. From ceiling lights that are recessed to flush mount and semi flush fixtures, all the way to dramatic chandeliers and pendants, LED lights are a viable option to illuminate your home. These fixtures can work within nearly every space, from the entryway to living room, kitchen, dining room, hallways, closets and bedrooms. Ceiling LED lights represent the best cost savings and longevity. 

How To Shop for LED Ceiling Lights

Shopping for LED ceiling lights involves narrowing down several factors. First, determine for which space you need the fixture, and what size fits the scale of the space. Lighting fixtures should be proportional and provide adequate lighting for the tasks at hand. Next, narrow down the finishes that work for your home decor scheme. Look at other lighting elements and hardware and decide if you want a brass, bronze, chrome or nickel LED ceiling light. 

Things To Consider When Buying Led Ceiling Light Fixtures

When buying LED ceiling fixtures, you should consider whether or not the fixture has dimming capabilities. This feature can be especially useful for spaces like living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas, where you’ll want to adjust the lighting levels to suit different times of day and occasions. Also consider whether the fixture aims light downward or upward towards the ceiling, or a combination of both, as that will effect how well it scatters light around the room as whole.
