A well designed home reflects the personality of its owners, taking into consideration how spaces should make the occupants feel and relate to their surroundings. In a recent project with directors Melissa and Rowan from Mosmo Living we explored a variety of lighting techniques that provide functional, ambient and feature lighting to set the scene for whatever the occasion. The modern high pitched ceilings invite plenty of natural light into the living spaces, whilst the pastel colour palette provides a relaxed and sophisticated vibe.  Trying to keep the ceilings clean of downlights was the main focus of our lighting design, especially considering the height and angle. Reflected lighting through the use of wall lights and hidden LED strip lights enabled us to offer plenty of ambient light whilst a few selected pendants were utilised to offer task lighting over the bench and tables.  The Unios FX 48V Track Light suspended over the island bench is very much on trend at the moment with an array of fixtures to choose from. One of our favourites is the darklighter module which creates the most incredible task lighting with absolutely no glare. The addition of the small spotlights on the end only add to its flexibility and aesthetics.
To really capture the beauty of the racked ceiling we used the Arkos Lip Wall Uplights. Arkos is a well renowned lighting brand designing and manufacturing in Barcelona. In this Mosmo Living display home we loved the curves of the Lip Wall Light which kept with the softer edges of the custom designed table and kitchen bench. The wall lights flow from inside through to the outdoor entertaining area creating a feeling of one larger area. 
The Musa wall light (pictured above) also plays on the curves and softness that the designers have reinforced throughout the home. Two of these wall lights were plenty of light to illuminate the stairwell and connecting hallway, again removing the need for downlights and enhancing the decor of the home.  In the bedrooms and bathrooms our flexible and dotless Luna Mini LED strip accentuates the joinery detail, offering interest and ambient light to soften the space. Our Orb ball wall lights are a huge hit also a radiant bedside light.  Our simple and discrete Titanium Starlight provides a soft wash down the beautiful feature tiles. These are the perfect lighting solution for your shower providing just the right amount of indirect light as well as having the ability to highlight feature titles.  How much do you love this Duo Ceiling Light by Vibia! We are completely smitten. Its organic shape and gorgeous real oak timber interior make this light a feature when it's on or off. This light is on display in our Kent Town showroom so come and treat yourself and see what other goodies we can enlighten you with :-P

Exploring new opportunities in track lighting....
Track lighting can be the answer to limited wiring or greater flexibility in design layouts, but until now it has also been a bulky fixture that stands out in a space. With a strong focus on R&D, Unios has brought to the market a slim line 48V track light system that allows you to safely run it along ceilings and down walls with elegance. Offering flush, suspended or surface mounted installation, the magnetic profile can house any arrangement of fixtures from wall washers, diffused lineal lights, decorative fixtures as well as miniature to medium scaled spotlights.  Our Kent Town Showroom with the FX Track Suspended overhead. The track located in our showroom aims to emphasise the importance of functional task lighting with a point of difference. The uniqueness that Unios has brought into this range, which separates it from other luminaries, are the track’s ‘dark lights’. The dark lights offer a comfortable, non-intrusive task light with absolutely no glare. In fact you can’t even tell where the light is coming from! These dark lights are optimal for over bench lighting, kitchens and office spaces where task lighting is key. The FX series offers a number of configurations in miniature, compact sizing. Proving just as effective as larger sized lights, the FX series is minimal, discreet and powerful. Come into our showroom and have a look for yourself, we have it displayed over our major working bench and we are more than happy to show you the reasons why we love this range so much!

Perched on the hillside of Springfield in South Australia, this modern crafted home is certainly hard to miss. The surrounding landscape is boldly dominated by the exterior use of exposed concrete and natural stone. Stepping through the gates, an instant feeling of intrigue entices you. Our Luna Flex Mini Strip lighting effortlessly illuminates the staircases, and well balanced landscape lighting guides you into this architectural wonder. 
 Taking you further into the heart of the home you are greeted by the floating EcoSmart fireplace that accentuates the relaxed atmosphere and connects you to many adjoining spaces. To the left the Kitchen takes advantage of our LED strip lighting, recessed Titanium downlights and the reflected light from the Madrid wall lights. To the right you are exposed to the rich timber detailing of the Living room that is accented by our Unios Titanium Surface Mounted Downlights. The protruding black cannisters reduce unwanted glare and add to the architectural statement of this room.  Set a short distance away, the outdoor room takes on the breathtaking views of the Adelaide skyline complete with a well equipped outdoor kitchen and luxurious in-ground pool. The surrounding landscape is simple so not to draw away from the main attraction, and our surface mounted downlights can be controlled easily for ambience via the Casambi Bluetooth mesh system. It really is a home to immerse yourself in and enjoy the many aspects that it has to offer.  by

Just 30 minutes from the Adelaide CBD lies the historic and picturesque German township of Hahndorf. A popular tourism destination and home to some of South Australia's best loved wineries, Hahndorf expresses a rich history of quality and craftsmanship. The new Sidewood Estate cellar door and restaurant is no exception to this, as it has built up a remarkable reputation through its premium cider and wine ranges.  Connecting the landscapeContrast of light and dark plays a big part in stimulating our senses, and by combining a variety of our steps lights, garden spike lights, strip lighting, festoon lighting and bollard lighting we were able to produce a cohesive design that connected the surrounding landscaped gardens to the main building. The feature gum in the decked outdoor balcony has been wrapped in our commercial grade fairy light system called Twinkly. It can be controlled via a free app through any smart phone device to not only change colour, but custom design any pattern they wish. The black step lights mounted to each pole under the railing (picture below) are our own Saffire step lights. Simple and discreet they create quite an impact for only 1W. The stairs are illuminated by washing light out over the step, not up into your eyes. The Keo Horizon step lights do a great job of this, and are impact resistant meaning they could even be driven over! Our little Quartz hardscape lights show the way down the lush green croquet lawns, and our IP68 weatherproof Halo Strip Lighting is under mounted into the handrails at the entry to lead and welcome you to the estate. For a more romantic and fun vibe our own Florence Festoon lights can be seen draped across the back verandah, adding warmth and visual interest. Interior Lighting - Relax and stay a while Warm white lighting is a key element in softening a space to induce relaxation and comfort. Venues like cellar doors, wineries, restaurants, wedding venues and the likes are there to invite you in and encourage you to experience what they have to offer. Downlights are generally the go-to for many people, but as you can see from the photo's we've taken here at Sidewood, wall lights, pendant lights, recessed step lights and strip lighting all offer interest and ambience whilst also adding a sense of character and purpose. Utilising reflected lighting and fittings with lateral spread ensures balance and ambience. When working with exposed rafters or beams, track lighting offers a practical solution, especially for hospitality venues. The flexibility of being able to move fixtures, add on more lights and manipulate the angles of the lights really allows the space to adapt for various uses and functions. 
Let us know what your working on. Remember lighting really is worth taking the time to discuss with your architect or builder as it can change the whole feel to your new build. At LED Outdoor + Architectural we are here to help. From fixture selections to full lighting plan designs, our friendly and professional team are keen to make your space look the best it can.
