Types of Lighting

A home theater requires layers of lighting to create functionality and beauty in your space. Smart lighting control makes it easy to manage every fixture in your room with just a few taps. A lighting designer will create a custom plan for your cinema to provide the perfect amount of illumination for any occasion. Some common types of lighting are:

• Task Lighting: Task lighting is bright and illuminates your entire theater. This makes it a good option for when you are in your theater and doing activities besides viewing movies, such as cleaning your carpet or setting up snacks. Usually, this means recessed, and in-ceiling light fixtures flush with the ceiling.
• Safety Lighting: Darkness is essential for a true cinematic movie-viewing experience, but when it is time to take a break, there is a risk that someone can trip while trying to exit the theater. Safety fixtures such as step lights, aisle lights, and under-seat lights make it easy for you and your family to move around the theater when it is time for a bathroom or snack break.
• Accent Lighting: Accent lighting highlights the design of your home theater and creates the perfect mood for movie-watching. These indirect lighting fixtures create a soft light in your space when you don’t want complete darkness but still want to enjoy a movie, TV show, or other entertainment. Choose from wall-mounted sconces, cove lighting, column lighting, and more. You can even install a star ceiling for an elegant touch to your cinema.
• Motorized Shades: In an ideal home theater, there would be no ambient light that detracts from your viewing experience. Unfortunately, most rooms have windows that let in natural light that cause glare or washout on your projector screen. Blackout motorized shades can close or lower with just a tap, blocking out sunlight and creating a dark environment.
