About the Center for Courts Improving child safety, permanency, and well-being outcomes for families by ensuring that courts work in partnership with child welfare agencies to best serve children and families.

Best practice for any engagement is that it should always be evidence-based, trauma-responsive and healing-centered, and create a space where lived experts feel safe and comfortable sharing their expertise. Lived experience experts may be engaged in a variety of forums such as town halls, advisory boards, focus groups, and more.

The following additional resources can help your agency better engage with and empower young people with lived experience:

The following resources and webinars were produced as part of the Division X TA contract by youth and young adults with lived experience and expertise who worked alongside a robust team of writers, project managers, Center for States consultants, and other partners. The practices highlighted and successes described in these resources were collected from across the country—directly from agency staff and youth and young adults.

Along the same lines, LED lights have incredible longevity and are unusually efficient. If a bulb fails in a room lit by LED spotlights, overall illumination will remain at a good level due to the other bulbs. If they can be repositioned, they can also be moved to compensate for the missing bulb until you can replace it!

LED SpotLights Indoor

LED ceiling spotlights can be used in any room of the house. However, we think they especially give exceptional lighting and aesthetics to bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchens. Many people like to use LED Spotlights in the kitchen because it provides a great form of lighting when preparing food. The flexibility of the lights means that light can be provided where it is needed most. When working with sharp knives and hot pans, this is a big bonus! If you need any help picking your lights, don't hesitate to give us a call.

LED spotlights are the same as traditional spotlights in a visual and functional sense. Spotlights is a lamp that projects a beam of light onto a certain spot, which can be adjusted. They are great for room lighting as you can adjust them. Multiple spotlights can shine down on many areas, which is perfect for task lighting.

The spotlights that we sell are for indoor usage and can be used in any room that you would like. We also sell spotlights that can be installed for task lighting in the bathroom e.g. on the ceiling above the shower.

Wall spotlights are great for task lighting. For example, you could place one directly above your couch or armchair in the room where you read. This means you do not need to light the whole room up and use excessive electricity. Wall spotlights are also a popular option for outside purposes, as they can light up certain areas like a pathway, for practical purposes.

The only difference between LED and traditional lighting spotlights is the light source used. LEDs are significantly more efficient and cost-effective. LEDs use approximately 90% less electricity than traditional bulbs, which increases their lifetime and potentially can lead to a decrease in bills. Reducing your electricity usage also benefits the environment, and lowers your carbon footprint.

A popular option for ceiling spotlights is to have between 4 and 8 attached to an attachment. Ceiling spotlights are ideal as they equally distribute light across the whole room, and they can be dimmed when you want a lower light.

On top of this, the LED spotlights can often be wired to operate independent of one another, giving the owner a unique amount of control over the lighting of their rooms. This feature is one of the things that makes them so compatible with other light sources, since they can be switched on or off independently as the situation demands.

Those LED ceiling spotlights that don't sit flush with the ceiling are on mobile, adjustable stems or bases, meaning the light can be pointed in different directions to allow intense lighting of a single area or lighting from multiple angles. The LED can also be turned away to provide more ambient light to the room, giving the illumination a much gentler tone.
