Custom light
fixtures are any type of lighting that was created specifically for a certain
space. It’s not available commercially and most of the time the creator never
makes another lighting system exactly like it. In some ways, custom light
fixtures are a type of art. This is especially true where the lights are
arranged in a random pattern or along the walls, around a sculpture, or in any
other fashion that’s unusual. There are a number of reasons why you might want
to make use of a custom light fixture in your restaurant, bar, or other
business.
No One Else Has One
If you want your
business or office space to be truly unique, you need one of these custom light
fixtures. It will truly be one of a kind and you will know that even if another
one is made, it won’t be identical because no other space will be exactly the
same as the one you have. This is one of the easiest ways of making your area
unique. Few people will remember if you have a unique piece of art on the wall
or other type of décor, but they may remember a huge light fixture that spreads
across the ceiling like a spiderweb or a giant lighted tree.
It Grabs Your Customers’ Attention
Few things will
grab someone’s attention like a large custom lighting installation. Your
lighting doesn’t even have to resemble artwork or be that different. In many
cases, simply having a series of light fixtures that don’t look like normal
lights is all it takes. You can have dozens of small little lights across your
ceiling or a few really large light fixtures located in specific areas of the
room. Both are different so both will grab attention.
Use These Lights to Call Attention to Spaces
You can use these
unique light fixtures to really call attention to certain parts of your space.
Having a lighted section of wall behind your bar, for example, will grab and
direct your patrons’ attention to that area. You could also have a large
cluster of lights above your reception area to help draw people to that part of
the space. Custom light fixtures can help direct your customers to where they
need to go without any signage or anyone saying a word.
They Create an Atmosphere
Your unique
lighting can be used to not only create brightly-lit areas but also darker
spaces that are perfect for romantic restaurants or clubs. Sometimes, areas
that aren’t well lit are just as important, if not more so, than those
positioned under bright lights. These shadowy spaces can help create contrast
so that the brighter areas stand out much more or they can be designed to be
the main draw. It all depends on how the custom fixtures and lighting are
installed and arranged. Some custom installations even feature movable lights
that can be redirected to other parts of the space to allow you to transform it
as needed.
