The Flare 8 series adds votive light alternatives for a hint of light where a normal wired lights won't fit and you won't have to worry about fire safety. For example, mount a slim profile shelf below a painting and add Flare 8 votives to the shelf. The result: an illuminated painting without the unsightly dangling wires of a picture light.
Add a few Flare 8 LED votives and another slim profile shelf to a side wall adjacent to a bathroom mirror. When you look in the mirror, your bathroom will look bigger and the soft light will eliminate the fumbling for a wall switch. It's a nice touch for a guest bathroom.
If you have a favorite tabletop collection and don't want to turn on an energy - hogging table lamp, here's an idea. Add one of these subtly designed votives to hight light the collection. Or you might want to place the votive behind the collection so the votive provides a backlit look. This will add a greater dimension to the collection if you have ambient (general) lighting in the room.
Do you have unlit bookcases and wish you had expensive display cases with built in lighting? integrate Flare 8 votives into open bookcases or china cabinets with doors. You won't even have to move the cabinet to snake an electrical cord to an outlet.
The Luau Portable Lamp adds more decorating possibilities. This dimmable, 50-Watt-equivalent, LED light source lasts 6-10 hours before recharging. Add it as an attractive sculpture to any room. Leave it on when you are out and on your return, you'll be greeted by an energy efficient glow that cost less than the usual table lamp.
Use them every night as ambient light in your home. Let them highlight notable treasures in every room and you'll avoid flicking wall switches for quick trips. Maybe you won't have to holler at the kids to turn the light off as they run from room to room.
Hints
Here's some hints to help you you create a professional look. So many rooms look so flat and without a sense of depth. So up goes the wallpaper and trip mementos. NOT. Lighting can correct the situation and create the warmth and inviting atmosphere you want.
If you already have the task lighting (reading lights) in place and add accent lighting, you may be able to forget the glaring general illumination that wash the room with the same flat look. Think about how mother nature does it: shadows here and there, bright open fields, darken glades.
Without overdoing the budget, these rechargeable LED lights can guide your eyes around a room and cause them to stop and enjoy the room accents. To determine light placement, play with the lights at night so you can see the results. Use them sparingly so that they create accents in the room. Avoid using so many that your eyes don't know where to rest. You will get the hang of it if you relax, listen to your inspiration and enjoy the process.
