Lighting Up the Darker Days of Winter with LEDVANCE

For us, the best home lighting for the winter months is warm and cozy lighting that mimics the color temperature of natural sunlight. This helps create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere, especially during the darker and colder winter days. Here are some suggestions for optimizing home lighting during the winter:

Human-Centric Lighting: TruWave™ LED light bulbs, innovated by SYLVANIA General Lighting, reduces the emission of blue light and offers illumination that closely resembles the sun’s natural light. When we have color spectrum that mimics the sun’s natural light, we reduce eye strain, tension, and overall sleep better.

Use Warm White Bulbs: Choose light bulbs with a color temperature between 2700K and 3000K. These bulbs emit a warm light that resembles the color of sunlight during sunrise or sunset.

Dimmable LED Lights: Consider installing dimmable lights to adjust the brightness according to your mood and the time of day. Dimming the lights in the evening can create a more relaxed and intimate ambiance.

Layered Lighting: Incorporate multiple light sources in each room to create a layered effect. This can include overhead lighting, floor lamps, table lamps, and task lighting. This allows for flexibility in adjusting the lighting levels for different activities.

Natural Light: Maximize natural light during the day by keeping curtains or blinds open. Position furniture to take advantage of daylight and reduce reliance on artificial lighting.

Candlelight: Enhance the cozy atmosphere by using candles. Place them strategically in the living room, bedroom, or dining area to add a warm and comforting glow.

Updating to LED light bulbs: Consider using LED bulbs, as they are energy-efficient and come in various color temperatures. They also tend to emit less heat compared to traditional incandescent bulbs.

Smart Lighting Systems: Invest in smart lighting systems that allow you to control the color temperature and brightness of your lights through a smartphone app or voice commands. These can either be WiFi or Bluetooth and designed to be compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. SMART+ home products provide convenience and customization and can be bulbs, strip lights, or corner lamps.

Seasonal Decorations: Embrace the winter season by incorporating seasonal decorations that include warm lighting elements, such as fairy lights or decorative string or strip lights.

Remember that personal preferences play a significant role in choosing the right lighting for your home. Experiment with different lighting options to find the combination that best suits your taste and creates a comfortable and inviting atmosphere during the winter months.

This season, see more clearly and support your New Year’s resolutions. Whether it is cooking more healthy, reading more, or creating a space for wellness such as a home studio, we all need quality light to support those ambitions. Live, feel, and see better and do what you love – only with LEDVANCE.
