Aesthetics


If you want to make sure that your lighting plan is both functional and beautiful, it may be worth consulting with a lighting consultation or an electrical technician.

The price of consulting with an lighting expert are only about $40-$70 per hour on average (although this varies and depends on the size of the home and the level of expertise). That's just about as much as you'd spend on one of those fancy Glass House candles anyway!
