About This Course
Welcome to The Layered Lighting Plan
Most homes are built with one layer of lighting. One switch, one circuit, one overhead source trying to do every job at once. The result is a room that functions but never quite feels the way you want it to.
This course teaches you the three-layer system that professional designers use on every project. You will finish it knowing how to plan lighting for any room, communicate that plan clearly to your electrician, and make decisions with confidence before the first wire is run.
How to Use This Guide
This course is designed to be read in order the first time through. Each module builds on the one before it. Once you have the full picture, you can jump to any room-specific section whenever you need it.
