Explore Your Fixture Options
Lighting fixtures come in a wide variety of styles, each contributing to the way your home functions and feels. From sleek recessed downlights and sculptural pendants to directional track systems and cove lighting, each type brings its own character and utility. These fixtures can be used to shape a space, illuminating work surfaces, drawing attention to architectural elements, or creating ambient warmth for relaxation.
With smart lighting control, adjusting your fixtures becomes second nature. Set the mood for dinner with a single tap, or brighten work zones automatically in the morning. Our design team works with you to pair aesthetic preferences with everyday functionality, offering guidance on how to mix fixture types for layered, intuitive lighting. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining a current layout, Ratio AV delivers a plan that enhances both visual appeal and performance throughout your Salt Lake City home.
Central Pendant Light
Cove Lighting
Wall Sconces
Recessed Downlights
Flush Mount Fixtures
Flush mounts are fixed directly against the ceiling, offering ambient illumination in a slim, unobtrusive form. Ideal for spaces with lower ceilings or where a clean, understated look is preferred, they work well in hallways, bedrooms, and smaller rooms where overhead clearance is limited but balanced light is still essential.
Surface-Mounted Downlights
When recessed lighting isn't feasible, surface-mounted downlights provide a sleek alternative. These fixtures sit just below the ceiling and offer directional light with a contemporary edge. These are available in multiple finishes and shapes, and they suit spaces that need focused light and visual structure without complicated installation.
Recessed Lighting
Installed within the ceiling, recessed fixtures provide clean, uniform illumination that blends into the background. They’re excellent fixtures for general lighting in large rooms or corridors and serve as the foundation for layered lighting. With their low-profile design, your ceilings will remain uncluttered and modern.
Pendant Lights
Pendant fixtures hang from a stem or cord and can be both decorative and practical. They're ideal over kitchen islands, breakfast bars, or entryways. With a wide variety of designs, ranging from globe-shaped glass to matte metal finishes, pendant lights deliver character and targeted illumination without overwhelming the visual balance of the room.
Chandeliers
Chandeliers offer wide-area illumination and bring shape and presence to any space. Whether it’s a bold metal arrangement or a refined crystal structure, these fixtures draw the eye upward and create atmosphere. Ideal for dining rooms, foyers, and great rooms, chandeliers serve as both functional lighting and architectural features.
Track Lighting
Track systems are ceiling-mounted rails that support multiple adjustable light heads. These are perfect for when you need to highlight artwork, direct attention to shelving, or illuminate counters. The flexibility in positioning each fixture head makes this a favorite in open-concept spaces or homes with ever-changing layouts and lighting needs.
Linear LED Panels
Linear LED panels are long, streamlined fixtures that offer an efficient, even wash of light. Their sleek silhouette suits modern interiors and works well in large kitchens, home offices, and multipurpose spaces. These panels help reduce glare, distribute light evenly, and support clean architectural lines without sacrificing functionality.
Wall Sconces
Sconces are mounted directly to the wall and deliver soft illumination or concentrated task lighting, depending on placement and design. Use them to highlight architectural details, brighten a reading nook, or create a warm, inviting hallway. With a range of styles and finishes, sconces offer both elegance and practical lighting control.
Swing-Arm Sconces
Swing-arm sconces provide directional lighting with a moveable arm and pivoting head. They’re a smart choice for reading corners, bedside setups, or areas that require occasional task lighting. These fixtures combine flexibility with style, allowing you to reposition the light as needed without compromising your room’s aesthetic.
Picture Lights
Designed to illuminate art and framed photography, picture lights highlight your favorite pieces with focused, gentle light. Available in finishes that match or contrast your frames, they subtly enhance visual impact without overpowering the display. You can use them in galleries, hallways, or living spaces where artwork deserves attention.
Decorative Accent Fixtures
Accent fixtures bring personality and flair to your walls while delivering functional light. These wall-mounted lights often double as sculpture, such as geometric metalwork, artisan glass, or creative silhouettes. They’re ideal when you want lighting that not only brightens but also contributes to the design story of the space.
Floor Lamps
Floor lamps offer a tall, mobile lighting option that pairs form with function. They’re perfect for corners, seating areas, or open spaces that need light without ceiling fixtures. Available in a variety of materials and designs, they balance practicality with a refined sense of style.
Reading Lamps
Built for focused lighting, reading lamps are excellent next to your favorite chair or bedside. Most feature adjustable arms or swivel heads, allowing you to control light direction with ease. Their compact design and task-oriented nature make them an excellent addition to quiet, personal spaces.
Desk Lamp
Desk lamps are compact and practical, offering focused task lighting in home offices, studios, and workstations. Adjustable arms, rotating heads, and dimming capabilities give you greater control over brightness and positioning. Their modern designs also contribute to a clean, professional workspace aesthetic.
Table Lamps
Table lamps enhance side tables, consoles, and nightstands with localized light and added character. They’re ideal for layering illumination, creating a welcoming glow while adding personality to a space. With endless shapes, colors, and finishes available, they’re easy to match with any design scheme.
Under-Cabinet Lighting
Under-cabinet lighting is a functional, aesthetically pleasing solution for brightening countertops and other workspaces—particularly in kitchens and offices. By installing lights beneath overhead cabinets, you can illuminate the area directly below them, creating a shadow-free environment ideal for cooking, food prep, and other detailed tasks.
Cove Lighting
Cove lighting is typically installed in recessed areas near the ceiling—often behind crown molding or within a specially designed ledge. This indirect lighting technique provides a soft, diffused glow that adds depth, warmth, and a sense of luxury to a room. It’s a popular choice for living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways, where subtle illumination helps accentuate architectural features and set a calming mood. Cove lighting can also serve as an elegant backdrop, enhancing any décor style.
In-Wall or Niche Lighting
In-wall or niche lighting offers a creative way to showcase architectural details, art pieces, or decorative alcoves. By placing fixtures within walls or built-in recesses, you can create striking focal points that draw attention to unique features of a space. This type of lighting is perfect for highlighting bookshelves, display areas, or accent walls, instantly adding visual interest and sophistication.
Porch and Entryway Lights
Porch and entryway lights play a crucial role in welcoming guests and ensuring safe navigation to your front door. These fixtures not only enhance the curb appeal of your home, but also offer added security by illuminating walkways and doorways. Whether you choose a classic lantern-style sconce or a sleek, modern design, porch lights can help set the tone for the rest of your exterior décor. Look for durable, weather-resistant materials to withstand the elements, and consider motion sensors or smart lighting features for added convenience.
Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting adds a layer of beauty and depth to your outdoor spaces. From highlighting flower beds and pathways to accentuating architectural features or water elements, strategically placed lights can transform your yard into a nighttime oasis. Low-voltage LED fixtures are an energy-efficient option that offer bright, long-lasting illumination with minimal maintenance. By mixing different fixture types—such as spotlights, pathway lights, and well lights—you can create a dynamic, visually appealing landscape that enhances both safety and ambiance.
Security Floodlights
Security floodlights are designed to cast a wide, bright beam of light across larger outdoor areas. Typically installed around the perimeter of your property—such as near garages, backyards, or side entrances—floodlights help deter potential intruders by eliminating dark corners and shadows. Many models come with motion sensors that automatically switch on when movement is detected, conserving energy while offering an extra layer of protection. Opt for fixtures with adjustable heads and timers to customize coverage and maximize peace of mind.
Garage and Driveway Lights
Placed above or beside garage doors, these fixtures ensure that your driveway remains clearly visible, reducing the risk of accidents or damage. They also serve as an attractive design element that can complement the style of your home’s exterior. Consider LED options for bright, energy-efficient illumination, and look for features like motion activation or dusk-to-dawn sensors for added convenience. With the right garage and driveway lights, you can improve both the function and appearance of your home’s exterior.
15° Beam Angle
- Produces a very focused, narrow beam ideal for accent lighting.
- Use it to highlight artwork, architectural details, or sculptures where you want a dramatic, concentrated light spot.
30° Beam Angle
- Offers a moderately focused beam that's perfect for task lighting.
- Ideal for areas like kitchens or home offices where you need clear, concentrated illumination on a work surface without lighting too wide an area
45° Beam Angle
- Provides a balanced light spread that can cover a good portion of a room.
- Suitable for both ambient and task lighting, such as in dining rooms or living areas, where you want an even light distribution without harsh shadows.
60° Beam Angle and Above
- Delivers a broad wash of light for widespread ambient illumination.
- Best for larger spaces like living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms to ensure a soft, inviting overall glow.
Recessed Downlights
The angle of light from a recessed fixture influences everything from atmosphere to functionality. A narrow 15° beam creates a focused point of light, typically used for accenting art or highlighting architectural details. A 30° beam is well-suited for task lighting at kitchen counters, vanities, or workspaces where precision matters. A 45° beam spreads light evenly across dining tables and seating areas, balancing mood and function. The widest, 60° beam softly fills bedrooms, hallways, and open-concept spaces with ambient warmth.
But designing with recessed lighting goes beyond choosing beam angles. Room size, ceiling height, and the intended experience all play a role. Ratio AV considers these variables carefully to ensure every fixture supports your lifestyle while maintaining a clean, architectural look. This results in thoughtful lighting that’s technically sound and visually quiet, tailored to the unique needs of each space.
Only see what's meant to be seen
With us, you don’t need to worry about bulky housing or visible hardware. You will only enjoy clean architectural lines. Advanced recessed lighting systems tuck drivers, heat sinks, and wiring out of sight, hidden behind the ceiling. This delivers balanced, consistent illumination that supports the design rather than competing with it. You notice the atmosphere, not the fixture, and that’s exactly the point.
The Right Lighting
The way a room is lit influences how you feel and function within it. A careful balance between brightness and warmth helps spaces feel both purposeful and comfortable. In bathrooms, cooler-toned vanity lighting enhances clarity at mirrors, while diffused wall sconces reduce harsh glare and soften shadows. This approach supports grooming tasks and daily routines while promoting calm and comfort. It creates an environment that feels intentional, welcoming, and aligned with your lifestyle.
How Fixtures Create Layered Lighting
Well-designed lighting brings clarity, comfort, and visual depth to your space, but it’s the layering of different fixture types that makes a room feel truly balanced. Ambient lighting offers general illumination, creating a sense of openness and ease. Task lighting provides focus exactly where it’s needed, supporting daily activities. Accent lighting adds contrast and dimension, drawing attention to architectural features, textures, or artwork.
Fixtures are the tools that make this possible. Recessed downlights deliver even coverage without interrupting sightlines. Pendants and chandeliers highlight gathering areas with sculptural presence. Under-cabinet lighting adds definition in kitchens, while track systems and wall sconces introduce visual rhythm and highlight focal points. When layered correctly, these elements work together to complement both the architecture and function of each room. Today’s smart fixtures also offer the advantage of dynamic control, allowing you to adjust brightness and scenes on demand. With Ratio AV, every layer is thoughtfully placed, purposefully designed, and tailored to your everyday lifestyle.
Direct Ambient Lighting
This approach casts a downward glow to evenly brighten a space from above. Fixtures like recessed cans, flush mounts, and down-facing pendants deliver practical, uniform light. It’s a go-to for living areas, workspaces, or anywhere a clean, consistent wash is needed.
Indirect Ambient Lighting
Instead of shining light directly, this method reflects it, bouncing illumination off ceilings or walls to create a softer, more diffused effect. Cove lighting, uplights, and valance installations help reduce glare and shadow, building a sense of warmth and visual comfort in spaces where softness and relaxation matter.
Mixed / Layered Ambient Lighting
A thoughtful balance of direct and indirect sources creates a dynamic lighting environment. Pair recessed fixtures with uplighting, or pendant lights with wall-mounted accents to craft a visually rich space. This approach works beautifully in open floor plans where zones of light support different moods, functions, and architectural focal points.
Perimeter / Wall Wash Ambient
Wall wash lighting runs along the upper edge of walls, using linear fixtures or adjustable beams to brighten vertical surfaces. This expands the perceived space while emphasizing materials and finishes, subtly guiding the eye and defining architectural rhythm.
Spot / Pinpoint Lighting
Spotlighting directs a focused beam to highlight specific objects or areas. Adjustable fixtures like recessed spots or under-shelf LEDs draw the eye without overwhelming the room, making them ideal for showcasing artwork, display shelves, or architectural details.
Wall Washing
Wall washing casts a broad, even light across vertical surfaces. It enhances textures, brings depth to paint colors, and visually opens up a room. Ideal for feature walls or artwork, it subtly guides attention while elevating the space’s architectural rhythm.
Grazing
Grazing places fixtures close to textured surfaces like stone or brick, emphasizing their natural relief. The interplay of light and shadow adds drama and depth, turning walls or fireplaces into intentional focal points without adding any visual clutter.
Backlighting / Back Glow
Backlighting installs light sources behind objects like mirrors or panels, creating a soft halo. This subtle glow adds depth and a sculptural effect, often used in bathrooms, behind shelving, or on statement walls for a refined, modern look.
Localized / Focused Task Lighting
Task lighting delivers concentrated illumination exactly where it's needed. Pendants, under-cabinet lights, and desk lamps provide clarity for reading, cooking, or grooming, brightening functional areas without overpowering the surrounding space or design.
Linear / Strip Task Lighting
Linear task lighting uses slim LED strips for bright, edge-to-edge illumination. Often found under cabinets or within shelves, these fixtures are perfect for kitchens or workspaces where clean lines and consistent visibility are key to comfort and usability.
Portable / Adjustable Task Lighting
Portable task lights offer flexibility wherever you need focus. Swing-arm lamps, clamp-ons, and battery-powered fixtures adapt easily to your space. These are excellent for reading nooks, craft areas, or home offices where needs shift throughout the day.
Integrated Task Modules
Integrated task lighting is built into architectural elements like shelving, cabinetry, or closet rods. These low-profile fixtures provide targeted brightness while remaining visually quiet, blending into your space with function-driven, minimalist precision.
Security Lighting
Security lighting brightens entry points, walkways, and outdoor zones to enhance safety and deter intruders. Motion sensors, floodlights, and perimeter fixtures improve visibility while maintaining the clean look of your home’s exterior design.
Landscape/Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting enhances safety, depth, and nighttime curb appeal. From uplighting trees to illuminating pathways and garden walls, a well-planned layout creates ambiance, defines space, and allows your landscape to shine after sunset.
More Than Meets the Eye
Light doesn’t just shape how a space looks: it affects how you feel. Well-designed systems go beyond aesthetics to support wellness, productivity, and comfort throughout the day. Ratio AV takes a human-centered approach to lighting, with solutions that respond to both the task at hand and your body’s natural rhythms.
Tunable white LEDs allow lighting to shift in color temperature and intensity, mimicking natural daylight cycles. Brighter, cooler light in the morning and early afternoon can help improve focus and alertness. In the evening, warmer tones encourage relaxation and help regulate sleep patterns by supporting healthy melatonin levels. Advanced fixtures also feature high CRI (Color Rendering Index) for better visual clarity and reduced eye strain, plus flicker-free operation for long-term comfort. With dimmable options and integrated controls, your lighting adapts to your preferences, on your schedule.
By incorporating sensors, automation, and smart controls, Ratio AV systems intelligently respond to occupancy, available daylight, and circadian needs. The result is a lighting environment that enhances your lifestyle and promotes overall well-being without sacrificing style or sophistication.
