Surface Mount Lighting
Surface-mount lighting is a broad category of fixtures that sit on a flat surface and are useful when there is little room in ceiling or wall spaces. Mounting may be pendant, ceiling, or wall, and fixtures can be flush or semi-flush.
- Pendant mount fixtures are suspended from the ceiling with cable, chain, or rod.
- Ceiling or flush-mount fixtures sit directly against the ceiling.
- Semi-flush fixtures have a small space between the fixture and ceiling.
- Wall-mount fixtures are mounted to the wall and often called sconces.
Pro Tip: Consider a dimmer with surface-mount lighting. It can reduce energy use while enhancing the room’s ambience.
Cove Lighting
Cove lighting is a linear light source that directs light onto a ceiling from a cove, wall, cabinetry top, or toe kick. It is generally used as accent lighting to highlight architectural features and provide even light without visible fixtures.
Panels & Troffers
LED panels and troffers are modern replacements for conventional fluorescent ceiling lights. A troffer is typically a square or rectangular recessed fixture that fits into a dropped ceiling grid and often has higher lumen output than an LED flat panel.
LED panels provide smooth illumination without visible bulbs or hot spots. They are available in standard white color temperatures, tunable white, and RGB color-changing options.
Helpful Hint: Choose an LED panel for more uniform illumination or a troffer for higher lumen output.
Lighting Retrofit Fixtures
A lighting retrofit upgrades current fixtures or lamps to provide energy savings while improving light quality. Retrofit lamps and systems are available for interior spaces, including downlights, lamps, troffers, and strip lights.
Pro Tip: Depending on the project, you may qualify for a utility rebate or incentive. Ask about this when speaking with a WLS representative.
High & Low Bay Fixtures
Bay fixtures are typically found in warehouses, factories, distribution centers, and other industrial facilities. Low-bay fixtures are used where ceilings are lower than 20 feet, while high-bay fixtures are used above 20 feet. Ceiling height affects beam angle and lumen output.
Architectural Fixtures
Architectural lighting is intended to create or enhance a cohesive spatial experience. Specification-grade fixtures can be tailored by lumen output, beam spread, color temperature, mounting style, and distribution.
Track Fixtures
Track lighting consists of fixtures mounted to a track, usually on or suspended from a ceiling. Track lighting allows fixture placement and aim to be adjusted, supporting task, accent, and ambient lighting from one system.
Pro Tip: Combining decorative pendants with track heads can provide task, accent, and ambient light on one track.
Recessed Fixtures
Recessed lighting is installed inside a ceiling or built into a surface. These fixtures include housing, trim, and a light source. Trim options include baffle, reflector, wall-wash, eyeball, and lensed trims.
Pro Tip: Combine recessed and decorative lighting to create a comfortable ambient lighting system.
Downlight Fixtures
A downlight aims light downward from a ceiling and can provide general, accent, or task lighting. Downlights are available in multiple sizes, color temperatures, and beam angles, with indoor and outdoor options.
Pro Tip: Begin placing recessed downlights about two feet from a wall and use half the ceiling height as a starting point for spacing.
Interior Controls
Lighting controls can range from a simple on/off switch to intelligent systems that dim, create scenes, and use occupancy sensors.
- On/off control
- Dimming, typically using 0-10V
- Zoning for multiple light sources
- Occupancy and vacancy sensing
- Lighting scenes and shows
Did You Know: Controls can support energy savings by adjusting lighting based on occupancy, daylight, tasks, and mood.
