Design Considerations & Client Preferences
Replace family room halogen Downlights with LEDs
Well utilized family room shared TV time with task oriented activities like reading, homework etc.
Bright clean lights for kitchen task areas & Chef’s desk
Chandelier – general illumination lighting fixture with G4 lamps
No Downlights in kitchen – but brightness desired
No accent light inside cabinet required
9 ft ceiling throughout home
Cooler light colour preferences
Crisp white light with high levels of brightness desired
SGi Recommendations
We recommended a Neutral White 4000K colour temperature that would and yet saturate task areas with the crisp white light desired by the clients and but also have some warmth to work with the design of the home.

SGi provided lighting solutions for:
Kitchen Under Cabinet Lights – task area
We installed our UltraBright Flex to achieve the perfect lighting levels for task lighting over the counters.
Kitchen Crown Valance
More light was required in the kitchen. With a beautiful chandelier already existing we recommended adding crown valance as an indirect light source that would add to the overall light in this area without competing or washing out the presence of the chandelier light.
Per the client’s request a single strip of RegularBright Flex light was prepared for this area. For maximum light spill it had to be installed at the edge of the cabinet. The clients found that this did not give them the level of light they wanted and it was creating a definitive line cast which is the down fall of installing the strip by the edge of the upper cabinets. We went back and added an additional strip of light and reinstalled the lights a bit more recessed from the edge, which gave them extra light on the ceiling creating a soft and organic light spill.
Bulbs – Kitchen Chandelier Fixture
We added the G4 LED lamps to this fixture to replace the inefficient existing halogen lamps.
General Lighting – Family Room and Dining Room
Our LED Downlights were used to provide a uniform and functional glow to two of most important rooms for recreation and family gathering. A 5000K colour temperature was used to unite these areas with the kitchen lighting. The clients chose a white trim to finish the lights and compliment their current interior look.
