When it comes to eye health, warm light is much better for you than cool light. Cool light is harsher on the eyes and causes strain. If you’re working in cool light, you may want to consider wearing blue-light glasses to protect your eyes.

The distance from the dining table to the bottom of the chandelier's droptop is essential when hanging your light fixture. For example, the fixture should hang 30 to 36 inches above the table for an 8-foot ceiling. If your ceiling is higher than the standard eight feet, add three inches of chandelier height for every foot of ceiling height.

You should hire a licensed electrician who is insured to perform any electrical work on your home, including lighting installation. States have different requirements for licensing and certifying electricians, so use Angi’s state licensing tool to review local guidelines.

Here are a few questions to ask electricians before hiring:

• How many years of electrical experience do you have?

• Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

• Do you work with subcontractors?

• Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

• What is the timeline for completion?

• How do you handle change orders?

• Can you provide at least three customer references?

A wall-mounting light fitting is called a sconce. Traditionally, sconces were placed along walls in a home to hold candles or torches for lighting. The electrical counterparts with lightbulbs serve an identical purpose, often lighting up hallways. Sconces come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Changing a light fixture mounted on a wall requires the same basic steps as replacing a ceiling light.
