blocking the light and
decreasing lighting
efficiency.

BEDROOM—SERENE
A nice way to mimic the intimate
effect of candlelight is to place
low-lumen led bulbs in small
bedside lamps. Additionally, you
could also place them in the
corners of rooms or closer to
mirrors. If you want to create a
brighter atmosphere, you could
also install a ceiling lamp in your
bedroom.

TIP 6: PAY ATTENTION TO COLOR
DIFFERENT LIGHTING COLORS
STIMULATE DIFFERENT EMOTIONS,
and thus changing the color temperature of a
light can significantly alter the mood of a
room.
Typically, the light from incandescent bulbs
will begin to emit a yellow-ish hue over time,
which can affect the way you see the colors
of your clothing and makeup.
LED bulbs ensure a uniform color for a
longer life span.
14. opple.com 14
TIP 7: KEEP TRACK OF ELECTRICITY BILLS AND THINK OF
ALTERNATIVES TO HAVING THE LIGHTS ON
LETTING IN NATURAL LIGHT—
from the windows in your living rooms, bedrooms, and
kitchens during the daytime can provide mood-brightening
light that will reduce the need for artificial light. In turn, this
will lower lighting costs and energy usage.
15. opple.com 15
TIP 8: DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE HEAT!
UNLIKE INCANDESCENT
AND COMPACT
FLUORESCENT BULBS,
LEDs do not emit heat.
Switching to LED bulbs will
reduce the energy usage in
your home, as you will not
need air conditioning to
compensate for
overheating.
16. opple.com 16
TIP 9: PRIORITIZE EASY INSTALLATION AND
MAINTENANCE WHEN PICKING LUMINAIRES
ALWAYS CHOOSE LIGHTING
that can be easily installed and maintained, and don’t
forget to hire a professional service to ensure proper
installation of luminaires.
17. opple.com 17
TIP 10: CONSIDER THE OVERALL FEELING YOU WANT YOUR
HOUSE TO CONVEY FOR YOU AND OTHERS
LIGHTING HAS A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
on a person’s mood and emotions. It is
important to consider the overall feeling
you want your home to convey for you
and your loved ones before choosing
the lighting in your home.
