LET THE LIGHT IN

At Bandido, we believe that lighting has the potential to transform any space," say co-founders Alejandro Campos and Joel Rojas. "The right light configuration will help create a comfortable atmosphere that will reduce stress and help you unwind."

Lighting objects can completely change a room. They shape different ambiences depending on their bulbs, the temperature of the light they emit, and, of course, their design. There are limitless possibilities, so we ask specialists to tell us what to consider and how to make the best choices.

COOL OR WARM TONE?

"A cool tone is generally used to give a daylight feeling and is perfect for workspaces such as a kitchen or an office, while warm lighting creates different moods and atmospheres, and even drama by contrasting the volumes, shadows and textures, in social areas," says Roy Azar of Roy Azar Architects. "In this particular home, I chose mostly warm lighting to take advantage of the natural textures of the overall materials. I incorporated many sources of natural light thanks to large floor-to-ceiling windows and several skylights, allowing the inhabitants to perceive the hours throughout the day by observing the changes in lighting tones."

THE CASE FOR LEDS

LED lighting has become more popular thanks to its several advantages over incandescent lighting. Alejandro and Joel share why:

  • LED lighting has a longer lifespan
  • LED lighting is more efficient and uses less energy to operate
  • Some fluorescent lights need a warm-up period to light up fully
  • Fluorescent lighting contains mercury, making it more difficult to dispose of
  • Fluorescent lighting emits a small amount of UV radiation, causing some fading on dyed items
