Have you ever walked into a space and felt a surge of emotion, just because the over-all design is good? This is called Emotional Design, and this kind of design makes you linger longer in a space, oftentimes longer than you usually would. If a space evokes emotion in the design alone, it means that the Interior Designer and the Architect has successfully done their job. I have visited many spaces that evokes this kind of emotion and when I zoom in on what makes me feel this way when other spaces do not, it comprises many different things: design, flow, colors, cohesion and most importantly, the proper lighting.
Most of the time, most people start decorating with furniture, appliances and then lighting is considered as an afterthought, which should not be. In traditional design, there is usually just one central light that will illuminate the entire space. In modern design, lighting is used for many different purposes, it can be used to highlight a focal area (such as a home entertainment system, a bookshelf, a piece of furniture or perhaps an artwork), and installed in different heights for a more sophisticated look.
During Orbik's recent launch at Cafe Naya at The Palace, a visual
display is shown of how lighting can change the look and the mood of a space. Come take a look!
These vintage LED lamps set such a dramatic scene in the middle of the room. It was hung overhead among the faux ivy which was used as a nice room divider. It was hung in different heights and the best thing? Aside from the cool fact that you can see the LED that looks like a filament lit thru the clear casing of the light bulb, it did not give off heat, unlike most light bulbs do.
At the launch, I had the privilege of meeting Architect Conrad Onglao. I have always been a fan of his design style, he blends interior living spaces enclosed in glass with the outdoor landscape, allowing a fusion of the indoors and outdoors. At Orbik's, launch, he talks about the vital role of lighting in design.
He shares that "lighting serves different purposes: accent lighting to
highlight artwork, indirect lighting to create mood, task lighting for
desks, clear lighting above kitchen counters. There are many different
ways I apply lighting so that function and design complement one
another. For example, a bedroom should have soft and warm lighting
while an office space should have bright white lighting to keep people
alert."
It is also good to consider the size and the function of a space when you buy lighting. This way you're sure that you get the proper illumination of a light that is specific for its function. In doing this, we must look at lumens and not the wattage.

Jam Chan, Marketing Director of Orbik LED light bulbs says, "your room
can be transformed with a switch of a single light bulb. But with low
quality bulbs, you'll find yourself more inconvenienced than benefited
with the transformation if you have to keep changing it. This is where
LED bulbs make a difference. The energy efficient bulb is known for its
low environmental impact and cost-effectiveness, lasting three times
longer than its outdated predecessor the CFL light. Choosing LED bulbs means saving
money, effort and the environment - It's a win all around!".
