Where should wall lights be placed?
To save yourself a huge amount of work in the future, wall lighting should be planned during the early stages of creating a lighting scheme. Where you place your wall light is important. Typically, the top of the wall light fitting should be at eye level, as this helps reduce glare. This is roughly 1.80m from the floor, however, this does depend on ceiling heights and room layouts.
While deciding where your fitting will be placed, it is important to consider its purpose. Positioning your wall lighting over a kitchen worktop can provide plenty of light for preparing food. Alternatively, they can be great for aesthetic purposes. A picture wall light above a painting can bring ample attention to your art, while bouncing ambient light around the room.
