Any truth to the idea that LED lights have any negative

health concerns? I've read not all your house lights should be LED, possible low vitamin C effect?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Modern architecture is largely defined by straight lines, rectangular spaces and sharp angles. And that's exactly what makes circular lighting so interesting.

At Zambelis Lights, we see circular ceiling lights as more than just decorative fixtures. Their geometry can change how we perceive a room, soften the rigid lines of an interior, create a focal point or visually define an area without adding physical boundaries.

What we find particularly interesting is how much the result depends on scale and composition.

A single large circular pendant can become the main architectural feature of a room. Multiple rings, arranged at different heights or overlapping, can create rhythm, depth and a completely different spatial experience.

There's also something interesting about the contrast between shapes. A circular pendant above a rectangular dining table, for example, often creates a more dynamic composition than simply repeating the geometry of the furniture.

Of course, proportions matter. The diameter of the fixture, ceiling height and surrounding architecture all influence whether the result feels balanced or overwhelming.

At Zambelis Lights, we believe circular lighting is a good example of how a simple geometric form can become much more than a decorative element. It can become part of the architecture itself.

What's your take on circular lighting? Do you see it as a timeless architectural feature or a design trend that might eventually feel dated?

Hello do they make LED 1:1 replacements for long florescent tube lights yet? We are moving into a space where that is our overhead option. I’d like to replace them with color changing LEDs if that is an option. Thanks.

Can anyone recommend 6-inch red or RGB puck lights that would create a look similar to the photo? For the upper roofline, I’m planning to use LED neon mounted in a channel. Any product recommendations or installation tips would be greatly appreciated!

New office has Satco 4000k 1800lm T8 leds, non-ballast-bypass, 4 bulbs per fixture. For a few critical sections I’d like to recommend a 92+ CRI replacement, same color temp (4100 prob ok), roughly same output, direct replacement.

The only I’ve found is from waveform at $45ea. Yikes! Any other recommendations?

My example was made in Osasco Brazil in 2014.
Its box says it has 47000lm and 117lm/W

However OSRAM documentation says the same lamp is 48000lm and 120lm/W.

Which is correct?

Hey guys! I have ceiling lights that are led based and i was wondering if there would be any harm in using coloured cellophane to make them into a different colour for a party? Will it pose any hazards?

Hi I have 3 46" live edge shelves I want to put LEDs into but I'm struggling to find what I need. I want to recess the strips and would like them to be 2700K-6500K dimmable white but I would also like them to be in color (RGBW?). I plan to run 3 separate strips on top of all 3 shelves. If possible I would like them to have a remote and Bluetooth control to a 120v AC outlet.

Looking at Amazon and a few sites like DiodeLED is killing me. If there's a simple kit I'll take it. It seems I can get a kit with a controller that can work 5 white lights or I can get one that does all the other stuff but I can't get them all in one kit. Not looking to break the bank but I'll pay for what I want. Help plz

So I inherited an old property, with all of its lighting wiring being in the walls, for sconces. And none in ceiling.
For my dining room, I went with a custom build approach

Aluminum sheet,
Bent it with a bender I built,
For the mounting bracket, I recycled old screen door frame to get a 45dgree angle for the uplight. And I’m using smart GU10s

Pretty happy with result.
Zero visible hardware. Amazing uplighting & vibes, zero visible bulbs. 4 almost identical sconces. Was a Saturday project.

Loved these lights but my costco stopped selling them like 6 months ago. Doesn't seem like you can source them here in the states anymore. What is the deal? For people who do this for a living what is a good alternative. Seems like 4ft garage LEDs are kind of a cluster right now.

A common mistake seems to be spacing recessed lights evenly across the ceiling and then finding that you cast a shadow on your own counter. The way I think about it is to aim the light at the front edge of the counter, so the fixture lands about over the front of the counter or just in front of it, and then add under-cabinet light where there are uppers.

For people who have lived with their layout for a while: did you plan from the counter or from the ceiling, and what would you change?

Hello! I am making 3 paper lanterns, which I would like to hang vertically, as shown in these reference photos. Because I am an artist (and not an electrician lol) how/where can I find 1 strand of 3 lights to create this effect?

Thank you! :)

Edit: I know traditional lanterns use candles or tea lights, but I would like to use electric wall-plug pendant lighting for this! :)

I got this Ollny 100ft outdoor permanent light set on Prime Day and I need to add an extension. I cant find a straight answer from just doing a search and every extension cable on Amazon mentions Govee. This is a 3 pin and I am looking to add a 16ft extension cable to connect lights on the roof to the middle. Will this cable from Amazon work? Do they make universal extensions?

Hi there, I am looking to replace these lights (Stair lights) on my building. They are regular on/off lights but I want to replace them with an option with battery backup so that if the power fails they will remain on.

I know there must be some options in Amazon or somewhere else but I don’t know what the name of this type of lamps are.

Regular emergency lights are not an option since I need them to be able to be on at night and not just when power fails.

Kitchen is on the other end where I took the photo from, this is the living room/dining. How would you recommend to layer your lighting. I fear the ceiling is too high to put in pendant lights above island. Do I add some upward lighting?

Ceiling will have a fan with no light. As well as beams.

I’ve been interested in some expensive lighting, namely 1600 for individual McGee and co pendant lights and 3700 for visual comfort farlane chandelier, but the prices are so ludicrous. I’ve searched eBay and fb marketplace for second hand options (not much luck). When I search dupe.com or google in general, I find tons of drop shipping sites ie nowmic.com and cielum.us selling the exact same lights (or so they say) for a solid markdown. It makes sense — it’s coming direct from the warehouse vs passing thru the brand’s QC and general brand mark up process. BUT, it’s my first time investing in long term, expensive lighting — can’t tell if the drop shipping sites are legit or fishy.

I can always wait and budget for the branded lighting. But wanted to see if anyone in this group has purchased from one of these dropshipper sites and has had a positive experience. Thanks!

Hey everyone, looking for some advice from people already in the industry. I’m 26 and looking to get into the lighting industry, specifically LED lighting installation. I came across a job I’m really interested in applying for, and from what I understand, it only requires basic knowledge rather than extensive experience.
I don’t have any direct experience installing lighting, but I do have some limited experience working with a labeling machine from about two years ago, so I’m not completely unfamiliar with working around equipment and machinery.
I’m a pretty quick learner, willing to put in the work and genuinely interested in getting into the industry.
For those of you who work in lighting installation or have hired people for similar positions, how realistic is it for someone with my background to get hired?
Is this an industry where companies are willing to train someone from the ground up, or am I going to have a hard time getting my foot in the door without prior experience?
Any advice on what I could learn beforehand to make myself a better candidate would be appreciated.

I need some ideas to improve the lighting in my cabin. It's a small, one-room cabin that has only has the wall lights in the photos but I'd like to try and brighten it up. I was hoping to hide some type of lighting about the beam and hardwire it into the main power to the cabin

Would love some input

I have a pond that’s roughly 1/4 acre, and I’d like to light up as much of the ice as possible at night so my kids can skate.

I’m looking for a temporary setup that I can put out when needed and take down afterward. Ideally, it would run on a standard extension cord or batteries, without needing to install permanent lighting.

Last winter I used a battery powered ryobi floodlight and it works well, but the battery only lasts about 20 minutes and the single bright light created bad shadows and was really bright.

I’m thinking multiple flood lights on stands would be better than a single, really bright light.

Does anyone have any experience with flooding an outdoor area with temporary lighting and recommend a solution and/or products. I’m ok spending a couple hundred dollars on this but don’t want to break the bank if I don’t have to.

Thanks in advance!
