Lighting can completely change the look and feel of your home, and LEDs are a smart choice for homeowners in St. Charles and St. Louis Counties. They last longer, use less energy, and are available in a variety of styles and brightness levels. But choosing the right LED lighting goes beyond buying a bulb.


Key factors to consider when selecting LED lighting:

  • Color Temperature:
  • 2700K-3000K (Soft White) for bedrooms and living rooms
  • 4000K-5000K (Cool/Bright White) for kitchens, offices, and garages
  • Color Rendering Index (CRI):
  • Look for a CRI of 90 or higher for the most accurate and vibrant lighting.
  • Dimming Compatibility:
  • Not all LEDs are dimmable. Check the packaging and install compatible dimmer switches.
  • Layered Lighting Design:
  • Use ambient lighting for general illumination
  • Add task lighting for workspaces (like under-cabinet lighting)
  • Use accent lighting for decorative elements
