The following are some practical indoor lighting ideas.

Closets: Searching through a closet can be difficult, but with LED lights, this can be made easier. LED Strip Lights can be pasted on any surface to provide all around lighting.  You can also use different colors to spice up the inside of your closet.

Shelves: LED Strip Lights can be used for shelves to highlight pictures, ornaments or other items.   The lights consume very little energy and can be easily  installed or removed.

Stairs: Dim lighting makes it difficult to navigate stairs and increases the chances of an accident. This problem can be overcome with the application of Rope Lights or strip lights. Simply install the lights along the steps to illuminate your path.

Kids playroom: Parents should be cautious when installing extra lights in the playroom since kids are naturally curious. LED Rope Lights provide brilliant and colorful lighting and come encased in a secure plastic case.

The ultimate combination of energy saving technology is LED and sensors. The following are some of the most widely used sensors on the market today.

Light sensors: Do you keep your lights on all night?  If you have an office or maybe an outdoor fixture, then the chances are that you leave the lights on at night and switch them off when you wake up in the morning.  Unless you wake up early you will most likely end up wasting a lot of energy. The solution is a light sensor that automatically shuts down the lights when it detects natural light.

Motion sensors: These sensors switch the lights on/off depending on the motion in the room. If it detects someone entering a room it will activate the lights, and if it detects an empty room it will automatically turn the lights off.

Light dimmers: Sometimes you need multiple rooms lit at night but you may not need the same level of light in each area. For instance, while everyone is in the kitchen eating dinner, the lights in the living room go unused but do not warrant being switched off. The solution could be the use of a light Dimmer, which dims the lights when no one is in the room.

The following are some interesting lighting solutions to consider with LED Strip Lights.

Floodlights in the garage: Since the layout of the garage is often fluid (cars coming in, kid’s playing, etc.) it is hard to light up the place with conventional lighting. With LED Strip Lights attached to the ceiling you can flood the room with brilliant lighting without the need to invest a lot of money.

Bookshelves & cupboards:  Install strip lights at the base of every level so you can easily find your stuff and make the entire area look better. You can also add different colors in different areas to unleash your inner perfectionist.

Kids Room: LED Strip Lights are a perfect solution here, simply get RGB strip lights and install them along the bed, table or other areas to add a dose of color and banish the monsters under the bed!

The following are a couple of unusual uses for LED lights.

The proposal: First up on the list is a very creative marriage proposal written not with pen or pencil but with light. Using an LED Rope Light the words “Will you marry me?” were spelled out hoping the bride-to-be (note: she said yes!) would notice.  You can easily write other holiday or personal messages for those you love too. If you cannot get a hold of LED Rope Lights, then LED Strip Lights would be a good alternative. Try  different colors and patterns when making those romantic messages.

Balls: Basketballs in particular have become a huge attraction to lighting enthusiasts. Now you can easily create or get your hands on a basketball or football covered with tiny LEDs on the surface. Keep in mind that since the LEDs are installed on the surface you will have to save it for a centerpiece and not use it in a neighborhood game!

Bags: LED covered bags, t-shirts and other accessories are now becoming popular. Strip lights are the most convenient LED to use with this application since they can be quickly installed and removed. They add color and make every item look unique.

Light dimmers: Light dimmers allow you to control the exact amount of light you need in the room. You do not need a light Dimmer in every room but some rooms will benefit from such a gadget.  This is perfect for bedrooms, where you can dim the lights for romantic moments or keep them bright if you are reading a book or doing some work. They may also be a good idea for kid’s rooms, especially for young ones who are too afraid to sleep alone in the dark. You can keep progressively dimming the lights until they are comfortable sleeping with the lights off.

Light sensors: Sensors are a great way to enhance efficiency and reduce your utility bills. They go well in both homes and offices. One common type of sensor is the daylight sensor, which automatically switches the lights off when it detects daylight. This is an excellent option for outdoor lighting. A more popular type of sensor is the occupancy/vacancy sensor that switches the lights on or off depending on the occupancy of the room. This is great for offices or even at home. You can install this sensor to avoid fumbling in the dark looking for the switch (great for attics, garages and storerooms). You can also install it outside, to provide convenient lighting when you head home in the dark.

Solar panels: This is a very attractive gadget for outdoor lighting since it is an environmentally friendly option. If you have an outdoor installation or perhaps a cabin in the great outdoors, solar panels are easy and convenient when it comes to providing easy to access lighting. Modern solar panels also come with batteries that allow them to store energy and provide hours of continuous lighting.

The following are some helpful tips when it comes to creating a wonderful lighting atmosphere.

The bar: Popular media often depicts bars as dull and badly lit.  A lively looking bar enhances the mood of the patrons, increases socialisation and ultimately increases the level of business, people tend to drink more when they are having fun as a group. You can easily use LED Strip Lights or Rope Lights to create a soft glow around the bar. You can also use LED Strip Lights on the shelves to improve visibility and highlight the drinks available.

Clubs: A successful club depends heavily on the interior décor. If it is not appealing and cannot retain a sense of “freshness”, it will inevitably fail. Installing LED lights on the walls, ceilings or even the floor are all good ideas. Owners can use a combination of LED Rope Lights and LED Strip Lights in virtually any part of the building. The best thing about LED lights is the easy installation and removal procedures.  You can have a different low cost lighting solution for special occasions or different seasons.  LED lights also consume far less energy than conventional lighting, which will help you keep your overhead costs low.

The following are some helpful tips when it comes to choosing shapes and colors for LED lighting.

Interior décor

When it comes to interior décor, warm white or a neutral color is generally preferred. You can use a combination of LED variants to provide more or less focused lighting depending on the type of room or area.

Work/study room:  The best option here is focused lighting. LED light bars, strip lights and even LED tube lights are good options. Opt for LED bulbs designed to provide more intense lighting within a small area, so that reading is easier. Since LED lights give out less heat, you can use relatively brighter bulbs. You can also place LED Strip Lights in areas to provide easy-to-access lighting when studying or reading (e.g. over the bed).

Outdoor decor

Less focused cooler colors are best for outdoor lighting. You can also get creative and use different colors to spice up the look of the surrounding areas.

Garden: If you have a large garden or if you like hosting parties outside,  you can use LED lights to create a gentle ambience that really enhances the mood of the party without compromising the quality of lighting. You can use a variety of colors depending on the background, but use colors that are not too bright because you do not want to draw too much attention from the background.

The following are some of the places where you might find LED Strip Lights useful.

The trunk: Most trunks feature very poor lighting. LED Strip Lights are the perfect answer to this problem since you can install them virtually anywhere and they provide brilliant extra lighting.

Under the seats: It is a good idea to install a small of strip of LED under the seat so you can easily find things, especially in the night. Since most vehicles features interior lighting on the roof, there is just no way to effectively search for something if it falls on the floor.

Under the hood: Imagine driving in the dead of night and suddenly you have engine problems. Without a flashlight you will be completely helpless. Even if you do have a flashlight you will have to hold it with one hand and search for the problem with the other. In this case, LED Strip Lights might be the perfect solution. They can provide easy lighting and give you  hands free access to the problem.

The following are some useful ideas for owners of small businesses to really draw customers in with innovative, decorative ideas. LED technology makes it easier, safer and better in every way.

Ceiling lights for restaurants: you can easily use LED Strip Lights or LED Rope Lights to outline and decorate the dining area of your restaurant. This is especially useful if the ceiling is relatively high, it would flood the entire room with a mesmerizing ambiance. You can also include a number of hanging lights, at irregular lengths, to enhance the lighting effect.

LED Strip Lights for large drink coolers: If you own a diner or shop with a drink cooler, then consider installing some LED Strip Lights inside under each level. This would light up the entire cooler and enhance the appeal of the products inside.

The Bar: The bar has the potential of becoming the main attraction of your establishment. Decor is a  key element, and with LED lighting, you can really spice it up. If you have a glass shelf or serving area, you can add RGB strip lights underneath to create a warm glow.

Pillars and walls: Some of the least utilized areas in any establishment are the walls and pillars. Using LED Strip Lights or light bars can bring color to these dark areas and make the entire place look more appealing.
