Soffit lights are the very thing
for providing lighting
underneath the surfaces of
archways, stairs, walkways,
beams and rafters. If the
exterior of you property
features any of these things
you can enhance them and
make your environment
safer, more secure and
attractively illuminated with
the latest LED, low voltage
recessed lights.
Curved surfaces can have
circular shaped lights installed
to echo the shape of the
structure wherein it is
positioned or you can contrast
with more angular shapes.
Similarly, long straight edges
like beams or staggered
surfaces like steps and stairs
would suggest matching their
shape although a contrast can
achieve quite a dramatic
effect.
In many contemporary
settings metal is a widely
used material and if you can
match the tone of any visible
metal elements with your
soffit lights you will create a
harmonious look that oozes
style and
sophistication.
Even for ambient lighting,
soffit lights within a pergola, a
leafy arbour or a folly would
bring stunning drama with
understated elegance for
night time lighting. Being able
to see the blooms on trellis-
trained plants and lean over
to take in the bouquet of
evening jasmine, honeysuckle
or climbing roses would make
a wonderful summer ritual
before you retired for the
night. And come the winter
you could check for any
aphids or disease and watch
as new buds let you know the
season is changing.
As soffit lights seem to be
concealed there is an added
mystery and magic with them
where their pools of light
just ‘appear’. Marvelllous. |
