James Halliday
Senior Lighting & Fixtures Writer
James Halliday is the Senior Lighting & Fixtures Writer at Ceiling Fans and Lighting, covering everything from pendants and recessed downlights to LED bulbs, colour temperature, CRI and dimmers. With nine-plus years writing about home lighting — and time on the floor of a lighting showroom before that — James works from photometric spec sheets and install guides to get brightness, colour, beam spread and fixture scale right for real rooms. Their guides lean on ENERGY STAR, U.S. Department of Energy and American Lighting Association guidance rather than marketing copy.
