Q&A with Jan, from New Plymouth, New Zealand

The challenge: Low light levels in the hallway 

Like many homeowners, Jan found that her hallway suffered from low light levels, leaving it dim and uninviting. Searching for a solution, she realised that adding natural light could make a significant difference. The challenge was finding the right product that could brighten the space without major renovations.
