Why is ambient lighting underrated

I’ve been thinking about how ambient lighting often gets overshadowed by flashy decor and statements… It plays a crucial role in creating mood and enhancing energy efficiency, especially with today’s LED technology. It’s interesting to see how easy it is to overlook, yet it profoundly affects the overall design and feel of a space. Anyone else feel this way?

Totally agree! Effective ambient lighting can truly transform a space. Have you tried using smart bulbs to adjust mood with a simple app? :glowing_star:.

I’ve noticed that using dimmers can really enhance the ambiance without breaking the bank. It’s amazing how a simple adjustment can create such a cozy feel in the evening. Have you experimented with different light temperatures to match your vibe?
