If you are a retailer, wondering how lighting wholesalers can help create the perfect ambience for your customers, then you’ve come to the right place!

In this blog, we will explain what customers mean when they’re asking for perfect ambience, and how lighting wholesalers, like Searchlight, can assist you.

What Is Ambience In Lighting?

Ambience itself refers to the mood, quality, tone and atmosphere of an environment.
In terms of lighting, ambience has a couple of meanings...

First and foremost, there’s ambient lighting, commonly known as general lighting. Ambient lighting is the first layer of lighting, which dominates the lighting landscape of a room. It's what fills the space and is usually provided by ceiling light fixtures.

While ambient lighting is a practical term used in our lexicon, you can of course create ambience with lighting, which is something else entirely.

The first step to creating ambience would be to adjust your ambient lighting. By altering the dimness of your lighting, it can impact the atmosphere of a room. Think of a restaurant at night... Dim lights = romance. There are, however, other lighting techniques to consider when creating the perfect ambience.

How Lighting Helps To Create The Perfect Ambience

We’ve already sort of hinted at it, but dimmers are an absolute essential when creating ambience.

Particularly in your customers’ homes, they may want to have control over their atmosphere depending on their activities. For some, a living room may work as a playroom, a place to chill, a place to work, a place to watch movies etc... All instances require a shift to the atmosphere that is an easy solution.

Going back to that restaurant we pictured, they’re not only dimming the lights to create that perfect, romantic ambience. The tables will have warm lamps or candles on, or else nobody can see what they’re eating! This is referred to as task lighting, which enhances the activities done in a room.

The bar in the restaurant may also have spotlights along the bar, or artwork dotted around which are illuminated with wall lights. This technique, known as accent lighting, works to manipulate eyeline around a room and accentuates design features.

Each layer of lighting further contributes to altering and controlling the ambience of a room.

Why Is Using Lighting To Create Ambience Important?

Every room, whether it is in a home, shop, restaurant or workplace, has a design intention. Whether it is to make you feel calm, cosy, focused, or inspired, choices are made to manipulate your mood in a space.

Lighting is often overlooked when it comes to interior design. For this reason, any room that uses decorative lighting to its advantage will immediately stand out.

The ambience of space can alter one's comfort, it can make someone want to stay longer or move along. There are a handful of industries wherein this makes controlling ambience integral to the success of a business.

How Lighting Wholesalers Can Help Create The Perfect Ambience

As a retailer, you need to have substantial knowledge of your product, so you can sell it to your customers.
