Interior lighting

Stairs, ceilings, kitchens and a hall. In each one the fixture is doing a specific job, and the job came first.

Light oak staircase with a dark guard panel and an LED strip set into the handrail, wrapping around the landing above — An LED strip set into the handrail follows the stair up and wraps the landing. Light lands on the treads with no fixture on the wall.

White kitchen with a black stone island, three pendant lights above it, recessed ceiling lights and dark bar stools — Three pendants centred on a black stone island, with recessed lights covering the counters so the pendants can stay soft.

Sloped white ceiling divided into bays by dark decorative beams, with a round recessed light centred in each bay — Recessed lights set one to a bay between dark decorative beams on a sloped ceiling, so the beams read as the pattern and the fixtures disappear into it.

Double-height white hall with a long skylight, a recessed light beside it and a vertical oak slat screen below — A recessed light placed beside a long skylight in a double-height hall, with a vertical oak slat screen below. Daylight by day, one quiet fixture by night.

Two curved linear LED elements suspended on fine cables from a white ceiling above a kitchen counter, with a colourful painting on the wall — A suspended LED fixture: two curved linear elements hung on fine cables above the kitchen counter, with the canopy on a ceiling box rated for the weight.

Two-storey white house at dusk under a deep blue sky, with downlights under the porch roof and uplights on the shrubs along the front — A house at dusk: downlights under the porch roof, uplights on each shrub along the front bed.

Outdoor kitchen at night with an LED strip glowing under the counter edge onto flagstone paving and a gooseneck wall light above — Outdoor kitchen after dark: an LED strip under the counter edge lights the flagstone, and a gooseneck wall light on the stucco covers the prep area and grill.

Outdoor kitchen at dusk with a granite counter, dark cabinets and a lit gooseneck wall light mounted on a white stucco wall — The same outdoor kitchen at dusk. The gooseneck wall light is mounted on the house wall above the sink, on its own weatherproof box.

In progress

What lighting looks like before it looks like anything: a loft with its rafters still open, a tray ceiling lit while the room is a work site, and a recessed fixture with its junction box open before it goes in.

Vaulted loft ceiling with exposed rafters and foil-faced sheathing, two recessed LED lights switched on between the rafters, plastic sheeting and insulation bags below — In progress Recessed LED fixtures fitted between the rafters of a vaulted loft and powered up to check spacing before insulation and drywall go in. Shown in progress.

Two-step tray ceiling with a continuous linear LED channel glowing around each step, in a room still under renovation with a mitre saw and materials on the floor — In progress Linear LED channel run around both steps of a tray ceiling, switched on during the renovation to check the line before the room is finished.

Hand holding a slim round recessed LED light with its metal junction box open, showing push-in wire connectors and the plug-in driver lead — Before installation A slim recessed LED light with its junction box open before installation: the branch cable lands on push-in connectors in the box, and the light plugs into the driver lead. This is what sits above the ceiling for every pot light.
