Have you noticed that lighting in the home helps set the mood or atmosphere of a room?  Whether it’s Hinkley lighting or whatever type of lighting, it makes a difference.  Soft lights make for a more relaxing room.  Bright lights, of course, are good for working on a project or any type of visual work.   Having an assortment of overhead lighting and several lamps is a good idea so then the lighting can be adjusted for the atmosphere needed.
