Types of Lighting

Choosing the right type of lighting is so important if you want to be sure that the lighting suits the environment in which it is installed. The different types of lighting you can consider buying include ambient lighting, task lighting and accent lighting, which have their place as both indoor lighting and outdoor lighting, depending on what you are trying to achieve.

Ambient lighting is your more common type of lighting and it has that soft glow which can create a laidback atmosphere that is much sought after in the home. This lighting is also known as mood lighting and it can be achieved in various ways, and used in every room in the home.

Task lighting is highly concentrated and generally covers a small area. Task lighting is also known as office lighting, and it isn’t the first choice for homes because it is bright and in some ways quite harsh on the eyes when used as the only source of light. But if you have a home office, task lighting is ideal.

Accent lighting is lighting used to create a focal point. Since it focuses on a single area, it is used to highlight things like wall photographs and paintings. Accent lighting can be used in the home or in an office space.
