Fundamentals of lighting

There are three types of lighting:

1. General: This is an overall illumination that gives the sensation of safety and it can be supply by the sun.

2. Task lighting: gives off a bright, focussed light fixed on one position or work surface such as a study or in the kitchen where recessed ceiling downlighters and underwall unit lighting is used to directly focus on counter tops and food preparation areas. In the study or home office, task lighting usually takes the form of a halogen desk lamp for reading or working.

3. Accent lighting: is the most creative of lighting options and is not intended for functional use. Instead, accent lights are used to create drama in a room by highlighting key features such as an alcove, a display or fireplace. Accent light is ideal for use in a living room in conjunction with ambient light to give greater flexibility, for example when friends and families visit and one needs a higher overall level of light.
