bathroom light

As an object fixed to the wall and lit from inside, a sconce readily becomes a work of art, whether showing off stained glass or shaped into an eye-catching sculptural form. In some cases the light rendered is minimal; the fixture''s real purpose is ornamental. In bathrooms and dressing areas, on the other hand, sconces can be thoroughly practical. They can remedy the distorting shadows produced by a single light mounted above the bathroom mirror or soften the harshness of ceiling fixtures. If you have twin sinks, use three sconces so there is light on either side of both mirrors. Lighting designer suggests mounting at eye level. "The color of the glass covering the sconce also matters," she says. "Choose white glass. Colored glass can cast unusual tones on your skin." Other uses Sconces provide bright and direct task-oriented light when they are open at the bottom or point downward. who has used them in hallways and on stairs, points out the reason many hotels have sconces near the door of each room: "In a dim hall, a sconce helps cast light on the door knob, letting you find it easily" She adds: "On stairways, you generally have high ceilings that make hanging light fixtures difficult. Wall-mounted fixtures are a good alternative."

Later in the year fans needn''t stop spinning at the end of summer. Wintertime energy savings are possible by reversing the direction of the fan blades--from counterclockwise to clockwise, when seen from below--to force the air upward. Moving in this direction and set at low speed, a fan will gently push hot, trapped ceiling air to the walls and down toward the floor, a process called heat reclamation. Since the air isn''t blown forcefully downward, you won''t feel draftiness or chill. Manufacturers report savings of up to 10 percent on winter heating bills through heat reclamation. Size and speed Choosing a fan that suits the size of the room is important for energy savings and comfort. Fans are measured by blade span, with the 52-inch five-bladed fan being the most common: It is appropriate for rooms up to 400 square feet. The 44-inch fan will adequately serve rooms up to 225 square feet; the 42-inch works for rooms up to 144 square feet; the 36-inch fan is for rooms of 100 square feet or less. Fan motors can be set at low, medium, or high speed.
