10 Mistakes People Make When Choosing Lighting

30 July 2025 · 6 min

We list the lighting mistakes most commonly seen in stretch ceiling projects, and how to avoid them.

Lighting planning is one of the stages where the most mistakes happen in stretch ceiling projects. The wrong LED choice, a low-quality driver, inadequate heat management and an unsuitable mounting distance top the list of these mistakes.

Other common mistakes include: ignoring the CRI value, not planning the control scenario at the start of the project, forgetting maintenance access, and mixing mismatched colour temperatures from different product families in the same space.

Correct technical planning at the start of a project rules out most of these mistakes from the outset. Decisions made early determine both visual quality and the system's long-term performance.
