WHAT ARE

LEDs?

LEDs – or Light-Emitting Diodes – work differently to other bulbs.

Instead of using a filament (like oldfashioned bulbs) or a gas (like typical energy-saving bulbs, or ‘CFLs’), they contain microchips that produce light when an electrical current passes through. This is what makes them the most energy-efficient lighting option available today.

WHY LEDs? LEDs are quickly becoming THE lighting choice for UK homes because they’re: Top quality: LEDs produce the highest levels of light quality and give out all their light instantly at the flick of a switch (unlike other energy-saving bulbs, which take time to warm up) Versatile & stylish: LEDs can be used with any typical light fitting and are available in all variants, so it’s easy to switch on the style in any room Super efficient: Unlike traditional bulbs, which lose most of their energy through heat, LEDs are extremely efficient – using up to 90%1 less energy Long lasting: LEDs last around 25 times longer2 than standard bulbs, making boring bulb changing virtually a thing of the past!

Eco friendly: By switching to LEDs, not only will you make staggering savings, you’ll also cut your energy use and carbon footprint

ABOUT LEDS

Why is light important?

Good lighting can transform a space, create atmosphere, set a mood, direct attention and stir emotion – so it pays to get it right. Most rooms will require a variety of lighting layers to achieve that desired effect: GENERAL LIGHTING: provides overall illumination FEATURE LIGHTING: highlights key focal points and special features TASK LIGHTING: assists with close-up work (e.g. cooking, reading) DECORATIVE LIGHTING: adds the perfect finishing touches

Lighting is a vital tool when it comes to adding style, ambience and functionality to your home, and there’s never been a greater choice available.

Get the

look!

Whether you’re improving or moving, renting or owning, a traditionalist or a fan of all things modern – there’s an LED lighting solution for you.

LEDs come in all shapes & sizes – from typical bulbs and spots, to strip lights, exterior lights and decorative ranges. They also come in a variety of colours, from cool white to warm white, daylight or even multi-coloured mood lighting.

Whatever you choose, now’s the time to give your home a StyLED makeover.

ABOUT LEDS

IN THE KITCHEN

Click here to see the kitchen range

THE KITCHEN is the heart of the home: a sociable space for preparing meals, relaxed dining, entertaining friends and spending time with family.

Such a versatile and lived-in room calls for a lighting scheme that’s fresh, functional and homely – and with the right attention to detail, it’s easy to achieve just that with LEDs.

Inspired idea Light up dingy drawers and cupboards with intuitive LUMiLife sensor lights. They come on exactly when you need them to, and automatically switch off when you close the door or drawer – so no energy goes to waste.

e Cool whit

Daylight

ite Warm wh

TIP Think about what you use your kitchen for – cooking, eating, working, playing, studying, relaxing or all of the above! – and then base the tone of your lighting around that. With LUMiLife, you can choose between natural daylight, welcoming warm white or clean cool white spots for a super-bright, practical and stylish finish.

Featured products: Ceiling spots: LUMiLife GU10 LED spotlights; Under-cabinet: LUMiLife LED RGB strip lighting kits; Drawer: LUMiLife LED sensor lights; Hanging crystal light: LUMiLife GU10 LED spotlights.

STYLE STEAL An eye-catching feature light gives your kitchen real character. As well as providing a touch of glamour, crystal fixtures like this one cast pretty reflections around the room – making that allimportant light go even further. Use our bulb selector (p.20) to find the right LEDs to match.

TIP! Create a bright, modern feel with LED strip lighting (available on handy adhesive rolls – just cut down to size to suit your space). Easy to fit and available in a range of colours, LUMiLife strips are great for illuminating work surfaces or as under-cabinet feature lighting.

TIP Opting for warm white lighting in the living room will help create a cosy and inviting atmosphere.

The living room is also the ideal setting for dimmable LEDs, so you can set the right mood at the touch of a button.

As one of the most frequently used rooms in the home, BATHROOM LIGHTING schemes need to be clean, bright and practical – with extra little touches to help create a softer, more tranquil feel when needed.

IN THE BATHROOM Click here to see the bathroom range

TIP Alcoves and recesses are great for providing extra space for mirrors, shelves and cabinets. Avoid them looking gloomy by adding strategically placed task lighting; wide-beam LUMiLife LED spotlights give an even spread of light in part-enclosed spaces like this.

INSPIRED IDEA Low-level lighting works well when you want to switch the main lights off for a softer, dimmer glow.

LED spotlights embedded into the side of your bathtub create a relaxing mood at night – particularly in tiled bathrooms, where the light reflects gently off ceramic floors and walls.

FEATURE LIGHTING

While it’s important to get the general lighting scheme in your home just right, don’t underestimate the power of finishing touches. Whether you’re accentuating key focal points or adding a sense of drama to a space – feature lighting can help create the real magic!

Accent lighting Use lighting to draw attention to significant features around the home. Strip lights will brighten up stairs, cabinets and kitchen work surfaces, whereas wall-mounted fixtures will illuminate your artwork. Recessed lights blend seamlessly into their surroundings and are an excellent way to highlight spaces (e.g. alcoves) as well as prized possessions.

A GUIDING LIGHT Whether you opt for discreet low-level LED spotlights or create a warm glow under each tread with strip lights – you can add a touch of sophistication and safety to your staircase. For added effect, why not light up your banisters too?

LUMiLife strips are simple to fit and come in a range of colours (See p.18)

Featured products: Alcove light: LUMiLife MR11 LED spotlights (warm white); Stairs: LUMiLife GU10 LED spotlights (cool white); Outdoor down lights: LUMiLife GU10 spotlights (warm white); Outdoor lantern: LUMiLife E14 LED candle bulbs (warm white); Front door topiary & candle decoration: LUMiLife silver thread LED fairy lights (10m); Table: LUMiLife real wax LED candles

BULB SELECTOR

Feeling inspired to get the StyLED look but not sure which bulbs you need? Our extensive LUMiLife range has something to suit all typical light fittings – in a variety of shapes and sizes – so you’re sure to find what you’re looking for.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT BULB:

Four simple steps 1. BASE The base (or cap) connects the bulb to your light fitting. There are several different types of base, with screw cap and bayonet being two of the most common. To work out which one you need, simply compare and match the base of your existing bulbs with these diagrams…

2. BRIGHTNESS

3. BEAM ANGLE

Next, decide how bright you want your bulb to be. Brightness is typically measured in lumens, but to keep things simple we’ve given all LUMiLife bulbs one of three fuss-free brightness ratings: standard, bright or extra bright.

A bulb’s beam angle gives you an idea of the light coverage it will provide. Some bulbs give off a softer, wider spread – while others offer a more focused beam, providing a range of lighting effects. For easy reference, all LUMiLife bulbs are labelled either ‘wide’ or ‘narrow’.

No. of lumens

4. COLOUR Finally, decide what colour light you want from your bulb. This depends on the mood you want to create in a room, as well as personal preference. The LUMiLife range comes in a selection of colours – including cosy warm white, crisp cool white and natural daylight. See ‘StyLED in the kitchen’ (p.6) for a comparison of the three.
