LED Accent Lighting

Why We Love LED Accent Lighting

Focused and functional. Moving beyond merely decorative and ambient applications, LED accent lighting draws attention to all the right places. Accent lights can highlight artwork, illuminate work areas and provide layers of light that become their own design element. LED picture lights and display lights bring even emphasis to fine details without the distracting glare of general overhead or free-standing lights.

Where LED Accent Lights Work Best

More than just lighting a room, accent lighting enhances your space by drawing the eye to key features. Picture lights cast soft illumination on artwork from paintings to sculptures to enhance the beholder’s experience. And because LED lights emit no UV rays, even delicate pieces are safely lit for optimal viewing. Accent lights can also be artistic in themselves, as seen in the styles of portable tea lights, which can be charged up and set down anywhere the ambiance needs a boost—even outdoors. Kitchens benefit from undercabinet accent lights too, and if a piano is present in your living room, consider lighting up your keys with an LED piano lamp.

An LED Accent Light for Every Style

Almost any space benefits from the addition of an accent light and these energy efficient options work themselves into a variety of interior decorating styles. Traditionally decorated homes will appreciate the colors and finishes of the fixtures offered by House of Troy. Ultra-modern spaces will love the collection from WAC Lighting, with a number of options that can find their way into any room including the living room, kitchen and patio area. And speaking of patio-friendly lighting, you'll want to see the outdoor LED accent lights available from CSL Lighting or Kichler.

Choosing the Best LED Accent Lights

This assortment of decorative lighting is meant to accentuate an already well-designed space. Once you have the right fixtures and furnishings in place in your home, you can begin selecting accent fixtures to really bring out the home's personality. First, determine the purpose of the accent light you need -- is it to provide focused lighting over pictures and display shelves or to simply illuminate an area with ambient light? Once you know its intended purpose, refine your options by size paying close attention to dimensions like height, length, depth and weight. Finally, for outdoor accent lighting, be sure the fixture is UL listed as damp or wet for safe exterior use.
