Give your commercial space a boost with ambient lighting 

One of the most important factors of any commercial space, whether it’s retail or food service, is the ambiance. Retail stores can benefit from LED panel lights as they can serve as a brighter light in fitting rooms. You can give customers a better view and decor to admire their new clothes in. And when it comes to restaurants and cafes, people come to patronize places that have a great mood and relaxing or fun atmosphere. For more relaxed environments, you can set up panel lights in colours like blue or purple to create a calm aura. And in places that people come to for a party atmosphere, you can lift up the mood with LED panel lights that dance to the music. You can also use panel lights as art pieces on the walls, with the help of Nanoleaf Canvas Design Kits.

Meditate peacefully in the perfectly lit atmosphere 

Having a space in your home set up to unwind and relax in properly is very important. The benefits of meditation are endless, and many people create a specific place in their home to find their light in. A meditation room can highly benefit from Nanoleaf Light Panels. You can set up calm ambient lighting to relax your nerves along the walls, and if you meditate with music, the lights can calmly breathe along the journey with you. You can also use Philips Hue Colour bulbs as a replacement for your regular bulbs.  Easily control them from your devices for an immersive calming experience. If you’re a bathtub meditator, you can place LED panel lights or Philips Hue Strip Lights strategically around your bathroom, which is much safer than using candles. 

Ensure safety and functionality in stairwells and confined spaces 

Some spaces in your home are tighter and darker than others, and these may require extra lighting for safety purposes. Some examples of this are closets and stairwells. Panel lights serve as excellent backlighting in your closet and make it easy to find and look through your stuff. Placing LED panel lights along your stairwell will make it much easier to walk downstairs—especially at night when it’s harder to navigate if there isn’t enough light. You can additionally add a line of Philips Hue Outdoor Strip Lights down along your outdoor walking spaces. This will also make your journey through safer and more ambient.
