Welcome to Uplightinghouse. Home lighting help is easy to find. We give straightforward answers for everything from landscape lighting wire size charts and recessed lighting installation pricing, to outdoor kitchen lighting ideas, indoor lighting, and outdoor lighting. Our goal: to provide facts you can depend on.
We learned about lighting from the ground up. We bought the wrong size wire for the landscape lights, put the deck lights in the wrong places in the yard, and bought fixtures that didn’t work. We learned from real experience. We’ve been through it all. You can skip the mistakes we made, because we share everything here.
We test or fact-check everything we write about in real sources. For example, when we cover recessed lighting installation or driveway entrance lighting ideas, we check with an electrician or contractor, and our writers have installed systems. This comes from real-world experience. You can trust the information we provide to be accurate because of this.
Who Are We?
We are lighting designers, electricians, and homeowners. We created this site because there is too much wrong information out there about chandelier size calculators, what wattage for outdoor light, and how to calculate the size of recessed lighting. Our writers’ collective experience installing, fixing, and teaching about lighting spans several decades.
Licensed electricians help to explain electrical safety standards and codes. Homeowners who learned the hard way share their story, too. Lighting designers suggest locations for recessed kitchen lights and where to place lights around the front of the house. Each member of the team provides a different learning opportunity.
What We Offer?
We know everything you need about home lighting, explaining how to use a junction box, the difference between uplight and downlight, flood light and spot light, gazebo lighting inspiration, the difference between a soffit and uplighting, and ideas for maintaining outdoor lighting.
The answers to how much trimlight, trimlight vs jellyfish systems, and electrician cost to install outdoor lights will be provided below. Step-by-step deck lighting installation will also be discussed here. The uplighting front of house lighting positions indicate where you should place the uplighting fixtures.
Uplightinghouse also has other articles, such as landscape lighting wire size charts with easy-to-read tables, outdoor kitchen lighting ideas, and driveway entrance lighting ideas. We use plain words to explain hard topics so everyone understands them.
Our Philosophy
Everyone deserves accurate, honest lighting advice. We only share tested procedures and real advice backed by sources, noting where exceptions and variability can occur. We only publish after thorough research and fact-checking.
We write for regular people, not experts, and there’s a tendency to think lighting’s hard. We break it down into easy steps. Uplightinghouse wants you to feel confident in planning your lighting projects.
Everything we do starts with safety. We respect electrical codes and proper electrical installation methods. We explain why they work. We provide a safe learning philosophy that avoids shortcuts that are likely to cause problems.
Community & Collaboration
Uplightinghouse serves homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and other lighting learners. A platform where people learn from each other. Readers also post questions and helpful tips in the comments and forums.
To ensure that you’re getting the best information from us, we work closely with electricians, contractors, and lighting manufacturers. Links keep us abreast of the newest products and techniques and connect us to other valuable sources.
No question is too basic or too advanced, and we expect discussion and respect throughout. Everyone has something to learn and something to teach, and everyone has lighting knowledge to share.
Future Vision
We see it as a good opportunity for everyone to learn more about lighting when they need it. We plan to add more on the types of lighting at uplightinghouse. We’ll add more guides on topics people want, such as maintaining outdoor lights and providing updated installation cost guides.
We will learn more about the new lighting technology, attend trade shows, and continue to work with electrical supply houses to learn about new lighting products. This allows us to publish much more useful guides based on real products.
New tools are in development for your search. Our team builds databases of lighting products. They construct guides for installation and tips for troubleshooting. Uplightinghouse also plans to add video tutorials of actual installations.
The term uplightinghouse will remain relevant as new types of lighting come into the marketplace. Research continues. We promise to always focus on the education, safety, and learning associated with lighting. Our number one priority is your success. You can verify anything we publish because all our content is fully cited.
