3 Types of Lighting

Lighting, as simple as it sounds, is a game-changer in building or remodeling a space. It can contribute to your productivity when doing certain tasks or accentuate a dull corner. With its diverse purpose, we listed common types of lighting to determine what kind of fixture you should install to execute your lighting plans.

 

1. AMBIENT LIGHTING

This is one of the most basic types of lighting and is also referred to as general lighting. Ambient lighting radiates a subtle illumination without glare that provides the right amount of light in a room. It is the central piece from which designers build on with more fixtures to accentuate a room. This is commonly achieved through central chandeliers, recessed lighting, and lighting diffused by splashing onto a wall.

2. TASK LIGHTING

Task lighting is used for productive activities that need a more concentrated amount of light (e.g., reading, cooking, studying, & applying makeup). To enhance clarity and reduce headaches, we recommend investing in fixtures that minimize glare, are the optimal light temperature, and have the capability to be adjusted through dimming or rotating.
