Need help with lights for our duplex villa. Our electrician is advising to go for COB lights for the entire project than Panel lights.

While we may not agree with him but would want to understand the rationale of proposing COB for entire home.

As per him, the ceiling lights would be too bright and will not give a great effect with the interiors we have.

I would advise using light and airy colours to make the room feel more open and bright as there is limited natural lighting and you also have dark window frames which makes the room feel small and dark

Congrats on getting closer to your dream home. There are a few glitches and the corrected plan is attached. Main problem seems to be lack of natural light to the dining and living; introduction of a courtyard will bring in light and act as a visual link between the kitchen and other living spaces creating interesting viewpoints and play of light. The handwash is now tucked away from plain view; the toilet cutouts can be a glamorous light washed courtyard instead. North direction is not provided but we guess from the front door and gas hob direction that east is towards the porch, so why is the pooja diety made to face west? Arrangement of toilet fixtures is also corrected so that the shower can be curtained/glass partitioned off to avoid spill on to the rest of the dry areas of the toilet. Good luck!

Hi there! Here's our professional opinion of your situation: 1. In your case, having the sink outside is a good solution because of spatial constraints. Having the sink outside is desirable because it covers the unpleasing sights and keeps the odor at bay. 2. Providing seating in a kitchen is a purely subjective choice. If required, look at compact, concealed options for minimal disruption in the workflow. Another suggestion that we would like to share with you is shifting your door for entry to the kitchen in the upper right corner, if possible considering the adjoining space. Not only would it give you a longer slab counter, it would also create a corner for you to include your seating. Please feel free to contact us for more information!

Mahesh, I am a bit confused when you said 'ceiling lights' would be too bright. Both panel lights and COB are ceiling lights.

Assuming that you meant panel lights would be too bright . So both these lights come in different wattages 3w to 50 w which in-turn decide the brightness and not particularly the type of light.

Panel, Down or COB lights have different purposes and usage and should be selected based on functions. E.g. COB is used for highlighting a particular object whereas Panels are for diffused lighting a particular area.

There are quite a few factors in lighting which should be considered to plan the illumination properly. An electrician may not be a ideal person to suggest the type that will enhance/diminish the value of the house.

Visit a philips gallery and understand your usage or seek professional help.

Thanks,
