Dar lighting retailers bring a brighter future
|
| Traditionally a visit
to the local lighting store was the last stop on the decorating roller coaster.
Whereas new carpets and curtains took precedent, a new light fitting was
often regarded as an after thought only if the budget would allow. However
in the new millennium the fashion of home DIY grows, consumers are now beginning
to realise the benefits of Dar lighting as a design tool rather than
an added extra. Gone are the days of a market dominated by traditional brass
pendant fittings with glass shades reminiscent of a mother's sitting room,
these have now been joined by an influx of more contemporary ranges such
as satin silver and chrome finishes, table and floor lamps enabling you
to complement the décor of any room. |

| Light fittings should
be considered as much a feature in the home as the fireplace or staircase.
When you are refurbishing a room adding new lighting can make all the difference,
mixing wall lights with centre lights or centre lights with floor standards
will allow you to change the ambience of the room from work, to rest, to
play area enabling you to achieve that desired affect. Don't worry if you
are buying a brand new house, low ceilings do not necessarily restrict your
choice in light fittings. Many Dar Lighting ranges can be adapted
and reworked to remove ceiling chains to alter the depth of the fitting,
allowing you a greater choice. |

Dar Lighting
And for the environmentally conscious, low energy fittings may be the
choice for you. Although a low energy fitting may cost slightly more than
a model that accepts ordinary bulbs the long-term benefits are far greater.
Not only are these fittings more energy efficient, the life of the bulb
is much greater making the days of up and down ladders to change light
bulbs a thing of the past. Unfortunately many pendant light fittings used
in living areas will not accommodate low energy light bulbs as they tend
to stick out of the glass which is not aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
The majority of low energy fittings on offer tend to be outdoor products,
or ceiling flushes and wall uplighters. These are more than suitable for
kitchens, bathrooms and hallways but are not popular for living rooms
with the fashion conscious public. Although the Dar lighting can
be praised for being innovative in the design of new fittings they are
yet to account for the low energy factor.

| With
the different varieties of fittings on the market it can be a minefield for
any shopper. It is essential when purchasing lighting that you get correct,
unbiased advice allowing you to make the right choice of light fittings for
your home. Throughout the UK there are a growing number of independent lighting
suppliers who dedicate their stores purely to lighting. |
