 From Heavenly to Haunted: Using Your Professional Lighting for Halloween

Halloween is one of the best times to take advantage of having professional lighting in your outdoor space. Using the right balance between lighting and darkness can turn your house from mild-mannered to downright spooky. though your normal outdoor lighting setup is anything but scary, with a little creativity, they’ll be knocking on your door to join the monster mash!

Highlight your Architecture, Dracula-Style

Up-lighting can bring out the eerie in a home when it’s not balanced with other lights. Like holding a flashlight under your chin, it makes things appear out of balance from the usual. When you look at a Transylvanian castle, you want it to appear disjointed and odd to make you shiver, so why wouldn’t you use that same effect for your haunted house? to achieve this look, focus on having up-lighting be the only lighting on your home. There are many ways to deal with the other lighting your normal setup has, including blocking the light with black gel filters or simply removing the bulbs. If you think you might want this eerie look to be easier, discuss having the up-lighting on a separate switch from the rest of the lights with your professional installer.

Define where you want People to Walk

Kids will walk all over an unlit yard on Halloween night. This is a terrible trick if you’ve gone to the effort and expense of landscaping a beautiful yard (not to mention if someone trips!). Encourage your little guests to walk on designated paths by lighting them well. Add a little creepy with a fake graveyard surrounding your path. while you may be the scariest house around, you still want to be inviting. a beautifully lit path is an asset no matter whether you’ve got ghouls and goblins or friends and family coming to visit, so maintain clear path lighting year-round.

Use your Landscape Lighting

Horror movies have long emphasized just how terrifying trees can be at night. Use your existing landscape lighting creatively to bring fear to the neighborhood. try using colored bulbs or gel filters to get the right level of spooky. If you can, change the angle on your lights to increase the shadows in a tree or spotlight a gigantic spiderweb. When the haunting is over, return your lights to their normal colors and positions to accent your landscaping.

When you have professional outdoor lighting installed, it’s like having your house decorated every day of the year. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t pull out all the stops for holidays, though! In fact, it gives you an excuse to put on an even better display. Help your trick-or-treating visitors to have a safe and spooky Halloween by using your professionally installed outdoor lighting as a part of your haunted décor.

Pool Table Lighting – Billiard Pendant Or Island Pendant Lighting

October 31, 2011 By: admin Category: truth

 Pool Table Lighting   Billiard Pendant Or Island Pendant Lighting

Most people think that the pool table is the center piece to their pool room or family den. wrong A pool table is a pool table is a pool table, until it’s properly lit. the center piece to a pool room is the light above the pool table. Unless you are Ray Charles, you probably can’t play pool in the dark, and you certainly can’t play pool when you have shadows interfering with the playing field.

Pool room lighting or billiard room lighting is the finishing touch that sets off and displays your pool table. Until then it’s a piece of furniture. Like dry toast without the jam. that beautiful 3 light Tiffany Island Pendant or Tiffany Oblong Pendant that hangs above the playing surface is what makes or breaks your pool table area.

Bottom Line: What you choose for your pool room lighting becomes the center piece of your pool room.

Ok pool shark let’s slow down and consider some important things about your lighting options. There are a few things to take into consideration and taking some time to do a little homework will result in years of enjoyment for your family and friends. as well as add beauty, style and personality to this favorite part of the house and/or pool table setting.

First, I am going to assume that you have looked at the ceiling above your pool table and considered that there is someplace for the lighting system to hang from. Some pool tables and Billiard Tables take up a lot of real estate. Second, is it properly wired or can it be properly wired so that the lighting can be centered, and third, high enough to allow your new 3 light Tiffany Island Pendant or Tiffany Oblong Billiard Pendant to hang approximately 30 to 32 above the pool table playing surface.

You want to make sure that your new Island or Billiard lighting system illuminates up to the edge of the pool table. If it is to high the lights will interfere with your eyes, if it is to low the lights can be damaged by an erratic pool ball, cue stick or your head. most systems work well with 60 watt bulbs, however depending on the setting and pool table shape or size, 40 watt bulbs might work just as well.

Now comes the exciting part, choosing the lighting system.

The two best lighting styles to consider is an Island Pendant (either 2 light or 3 light) or Billiard Pendant (Oblong Pendant). from here the choice is yours and depends on your taste. right now you are probably still reeling from the pool table center piece thing but trust me the right lighting will turn a nice piece of furniture into a beautiful pool table.

I have been mentioning Tiffany Style Lighting for a reason. Nothing says pool room faster than a beautiful 3 light Tiffany Island Pendant or Tiffany Billiard Pendant. here is the difference between the two.

- Island Pendant – Ceiling fixture usually multi-shaded, horizontally hung and generally best suited for a kitchen island, bar, pool table or above a counter top.

- Billiard Pendant – Single shade ceiling fixture usually 30 or longer in length, horizontally hung and generally best suited for a bar, den or pool table.

So you can see either one will work well for lighting your pool room. Tiffany Oblong Pendants are very popular since you can get them in so many different themes. If you also love to Sport Fish, Golf, Hunt, fly, play Baseball or any other sport you choose, there are several lighting manufacturesthat makeOblong Pendants with these types of themes. or you can choose a slogan like Budweiser, Coca Cola, Cheers, or Billiards. from simple to complex and beautiful, nothing says Pool Room like a Tiffany Billiard Pendant or Oblong Pendant.

If you would like to go in a different but just as functional direction, consider a Tiffany Island Pendant. either a 2 light system or 3 light system. Many Island Pendants also come in themes or slogans or just simple styles. they are a little more versatile simply because at some point if you want to change to different shades it’s as easy as buying new shades with a different theme, style or slogan. either one properly set and lit will have the same results.

A wonderful time and the potential for lot’s of shark bait

Cost can be a major factor in choosing either style of lighting. Fortunately there is a price range for everyone interested in these pool room lighting styles. the cost for either style starts as low as a $100. Tiffany Pendants in this price range use a less substantial material and they won’t offer the finer crisper beauty of the more expensive pendants, however they can be just a functional and the savings might be worth it. On the higher side you can pay $500, $1000 up to $2000 and more. Of course you get what you pay for. These expensive lamps are truly beautiful and will capture and hold the gaze of anyone looking at them.

When you choose to buy a Tiffany Island Pendant or Tiffany Billiard Pendant for your poolroom or Billiard room and you take your time in choosing, you are guaranteed to love, cherish and enjoy this beautiful product for years to come.

Additional Tips:

- Room lighting Placement: 30 – 32 inches above your pool table

- Room Color Scheme: Darker walls work best and help the table and lights stand out once your pool room is finished.

- Neon Signs give your pool room that pool room feel.

- Smaller lights and wall sconces can be placed around the edges of the room to set the mood.

- consider dimmer switches to obtain a soft, warm relaxing and comfortable setting.

- Recessed lighting works wonders

- the light over the pool table should be the brightest light in the room.

- And while it probably doesn’t need to said, place the length of the light in the same direction as the length of the table.

It’s not Just Tiffany, It’s You

Replacement lamp should be chosen with care, because they are easily visible to the visitor and the homeowner and most of the time determine the overall feel of a room and house.

Sometimes the need for a replacement is based on a practical reason: the lamp is broken, damaged, torn, or misshapen. yes, there many kinds of lamp shades that you can choose, but obviously, we can only buy the ones that fit our lamps. more importantly, they should also fit well with the current decoration of the house.

There are literally thousands and thousands of designs for lamp shades that are available. In order to find the correct lamp, consider first the style of the lamp shade you want to purchase. Is it for a table lamp? a chandelier-type lamp? Or a simple wall lamp that needs very little shade? You can ask your interior designer or a home depot personnel to guide you in selecting that perfect match.

Then there is the issue of shape. What is the shape of your original lamp? Was it circular, globe, or some other odd shape? the shape is important because the wrong shape might be disastrous match for your lamp. it is important to take note of the original shape because that was what worked for you in the first place. However, this is a general rule, and some other shapes might fit well with your current lamp.

What about the materials of both the lamp and the lamp shade? They should also match well, because if the base materials for both parts are not compatible then there is a possibility that they might further be damaged. take into consideration the materials of the original lamp shade. Was it made of paper, glass, plastic, or silk? Whatever your final choice is, make sure that it is structurally compatible with the lamp shade or it might just fall off the lamp. In any case, also be sure to match it with the current look of the home.

There are some home depot outfits and lamp retailers that can make lamp shades according to your specifications. Once you have decided on these, you can now negotiate and plan with your home supplier provider about the exact specifications of the lamp shades in question. take measurements of the lamp and the shade base, as well as the height of the lamp and the space surrounding the lamp. more importantly is how the shade is attached to the lamp. take notice of those – whether it needs screws, or it needs to be glued up, or in the case of metal lamps, whether it needs to be welded tight.

These are some common-sensed tips for choosing and changing replacement lamp shades for your own home décor.
