Light Fittings

Lighting covers a broad spectrum of supply. There are a number of companies that supply a whole range of light fittings suitable for many different styles of property. These fittings are best recommended by your interior design company / designer if you choose to employ one as their choice can have quite a large effect on the feel of a room / premises.

Mood Lighting

As well as light fittings there are lighting control systems. To compete in the competitive villa rental and sales market place nowadays many luxury villas come fitted with smart home systems - one of which is normally a mood lighting system. Mood lighting allows you to pre-set lighting levels in a number of 'scenes' for a particular area. This means you can control a number of different lights / circuits in your living room for example with the push of one button. The pre-set levels allow you to generate perfect levels of lighting across multiple circuits for different applications such as: Dinner party, Relaxing, Watching TV, Working etc. etc. These control systems can be used to maximum effect when you have lit art on your walls or architectural features that are lit.

Several systems by top manufacturers exist on Samui including Lutron, Rako, Futronix, Crestron etc. All have their strengths and weaknesses although worthy of mention is the Rako Controls system as this can be fitted with minimal disturbance when a villa is finished as it is wireless. The other systems require cabling.

If you own or are building a high end villa then it is well worth investigating mood lighting as nowadays many of these options are becoming standard on high end properties.
