Light & fixtures

Choosing lighting has been a long road. Visits to lighting showrooms, poring over catalogs, and trying to understand each manufacturer’s walled garden of controllers and remotes.

We are getting validation for our choices, finally.

Last night we drove over to 555 to hang the living room fixtures and survey the lights. It all looks good. I think we did okay!

I was delighted to see that Mrs. Araoka had labelled every switch using a mix of English and Japanese depending on what fit the space better. There are a lot of switches and they are logically arranged but the labels will be so helpful as we settle in.

Now I need to wrangle and program all the remotes: Odelic kitchen lights, the fan, the Chinese-made living room lights, Takara Standard bath lights, Daikin aircons…everything has a remote.
