Light up your dream kitchen! There’s nothing wrong with treating your family to a nice dinner out, but food always tastes better when you prepare it yourself in a comfortable and functional kitchen! LED bulbs with a temperature of 3000K are ideal for task lighting in the kitchen, and you’ll want to have plenty of outlets with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) available to plug in and use your countertop appliances safely.

Make your den or living room a little cozier-No one enjoys harsh overhead light while they’re trying to watch TV, and it’s easy to add dimmer switches in frequently-traveled areas such as your den and dining room. Be sure to use dimmable LEDs, and bulbs with a color temperature between 2000K-3000K emit a warm light that’s ideal for the living room and your bedrooms. Recessed and track lighting is a great way to highlight artwork, and it also gives a living room more overall ambiance.

Create an outdoor backyard retreat-A great outdoor lighting package is a great way to make your deck or patio more comfortable, and it also discourages theft and vandalism!
