Lighting

No, not all lighting fixtures are compatible with dimmer switches or smart lighting systems, so it is important to check the product specifications before buying. For dimming, both the light source and dimmer switch need to be compatible, while smart lighting may require compatible bulbs, fittings, switches, hubs or apps. Using incompatible components can cause problems such as flickering or limited functionality, so always follow the manufacturer’s compatibility guidance.

To choose the right lighting for your home, consider what each room is used for, how much natural light it receives and the atmosphere you want to create. Most rooms benefit from combining general illumination with more focused task and decorative lighting.

The different types of lighting for a home include ceiling lights, pendant lights, chandeliers, wall lights, table lamps and floor lamps. Fishpools offers all of these styles, allowing different light sources to be combined throughout a room.
