Every activity needs the right lighting and electrical setup to perform your best — whether it’s applying makeup flawlessly, cooking a gourmet meal, or diving into your favorite video game. The right combination of light color, placement, and power access makes all the difference.
At E&A Electric, we help design electrical setups tailored to your lifestyle. Here’s how to get the most out of your space for these popular activities:
💄 Makeup & Vanity Lighting
- What you need: Bright, natural light that mimics daylight (around 5000K) to see true colors.
- Lighting tip: Use LED vanity bulbs arranged around your mirror to avoid shadows on your face.
- Power tip: Add dedicated outlets with USB ports close by for your styling tools.
- Bonus: Consider a lighted makeup mirror with adjustable brightness.
🍳 Cooking & Kitchen Lighting
- What you need: Clear, bright lighting that eliminates shadows on your work surfaces.
- Lighting tip: Install under-cabinet LED strip lights or puck lights for focused illumination on counters. Use cool white bulbs (3500K–4100K) for clarity.
- Power tip: Have outlets strategically placed for appliances — mixers, coffee makers, blenders — without extension cords cluttering counters.
- Bonus: Motion-activated lights in pantry or inside cabinets add convenience.
🎮 Gaming & Media Room Setup
- What you need: Balanced ambient lighting to reduce eye strain and create atmosphere.
- Lighting tip: Use bias lighting behind your screen (soft LED strips) to reduce contrast glare. Choose color-changing smart bulbs to match game moods or music.
- Power tip: Include plenty of surge-protected outlets for consoles, PCs, and accessories.
- Bonus: Install USB charging stations built into your desk or furniture.
🖥️ Home Office Lighting & Power
- What you need: Bright, cool white light for alertness and focus.
- Lighting tip: Layer overhead LED panels with adjustable desk lamps. Consider daylight bulbs (5000K–6500K) to mimic natural light.
- Power tip: Install multiple outlets with surge protection for computers, monitors, printers, and phone chargers.
- Bonus: Cable management systems keep cords neat and safe.
🌟 Quick Tips to Upgrade Any Space:
- Add dimmer switches to adjust light intensity easily.
- Use smart outlets and switches for app or voice control.
- Plan outlets so you don’t rely on extension cords.
- Consider GFCI outlets in kitchens and near sinks for safety.
