Residential Lighting Toolkit
Practical guidance for better light at home
Good residential lighting does more than make a space visible. It supports daily routines, improves comfort and safety, reveals architecture and materials, and helps a home feel welcoming.
The Residential Lighting Toolkit offers straightforward guidance for homeowners, designers, builders, and community partners. Each tool introduces a fundamental lighting concept, explains why it matters, and provides practical recommendations that can be adapted to different homes, budgets, and project types.
This is a preliminary guide. The first tools focus on common residential conditions where a few informed decisions can make a meaningful difference.

Our Process
Begin with a Goal
Think about how you want the space to feel, what activities it needs to support, and what you would like light to reveal or improve. Inspiration may come from another home, a photograph, a favorite place, or simply a problem you want to solve.
Explore the Possibilities
Use the toolkit to learn how different types of light, fixtures, and controls can contribute to your goal. You can follow the guides in order or begin with the room, technique, or question most relevant to your project.
Make a Lighting Plan
Bring the useful ideas together before selecting products or beginning construction. Consider where light is needed, where it will come from, how the different layers will work together, and how you will control them throughout the day.
Coordinate with Your Team
Share your lighting goals with your architect, interior designer, builder, electrician, suppliers, and other project partners. Make sure everyone understands the intended result, their role in achieving it, and the decisions that must be coordinated before work begins.
