Hanging lamps cover a spectrum that ranges from elegant chandeliers hanging in large foyers or dining rooms to small tabletop hanging lamps used in a cozy reading area.

Landscape lighting is nothing new, but over the years, styles, designs, features, and technology have changed dramatically.

Now that LED lighting technology has become widely available and affordable and a consumer level, the idea of smart lighting isn’t confined to sci-fi movies or the mansions of the ultra-rich anymore.
