It is common to see track lighting used indoors to create a specific look in a kitchen, living room, den or even in a bedroom or bathroom. The ability to focus the lights on the specific item or feature in the room provides an accent and draws attention that can add to the décor or make any room look larger or smaller based on the positioning of the light.
LED track lighting can also be used outdoors in the same way. This lighting is ideal to use on a deck or an outdoor living space to light up high use areas or to draw focus to a specific feature or area.
Either indoors or out, consider the following options to use track lighting, specifically LED lights, to create an ambiance or to highlight or focus attention on areas where there are additional lighting requirements.
Highlight Busy Places
Using LED track lighting to supplement the general room or outdoor area lighting offers a cost-effective and convenient way to add light where needed without fully illuminating the entire area.
Positioning the track lighting to pinpoint the areas where light is needed without diffusing light to areas where a softer lighting source is required is one of the best uses of this option. Take the time to look at the positioning of the LED lights from all angles, making sure there is no direct view of the bulb from other locations.
Creating Spaces
LED track lighting can be used to create divisions or boundaries in an indoor or outdoor space. For example, on a deck or patio for a commercial or residential property, the track lighting can provide walkways or focus areas on cooking or food prep spaces.
To light hallways or to provide lighting over kitchen or bathroom counters, these lights create distinct areas. By creating spaces with lights, it can add to the look of the room while also making spaces look much larger.
