Effect Ideas


Different lighting can take a drab den and transform it into a cozy reading nook. Or, turn a somber kitchen into an energizing gathering space.

See the Effect Lighting Can Give Your Space

Energetic Brilliance

It’s a crisp, cool day. Blue skies in every direction. Not a single cloud in sight. This is Energetic Brilliance: bright, invigorating light that floods an entire space.
