Ambient Lighting:

Also known as general lighting, ambient lighting provides overall illumination to a space, allowing people to navigate and perform tasks comfortably.

Task Lighting:

It is typically brighter and more concentrated than ambient lighting to reduce eye strain and enhance visibility. Examples of task lighting include desk lamps, under-cabinet lighting in kitchens, or adjustable spotlights.

Accent Lighting:

Accent lighting is used to highlight specific objects, architectural features, or artworks within a space. It adds depth and visual interest by creating contrasts and focal points. Accent lighting can be achieved through track lights, wall-mounted fixtures, or recessed spotlights. It helps draw attention to specific areas or objects and creates a dramatic effect.

Decorative Lighting:

Decorative lighting focuses on the aesthetic aspect of illumination. It includes ornamental fixtures and lighting elements that serve as decorative objects themselves. Decorative lighting fixtures, such as pendant lights, chandeliers, or wall sconces, are often used to enhance the visual appeal of a space and contribute to its overall style or theme.

Natural Lighting:

Natural lighting refers to the use of sunlight as a primary source of illumination. It can create a pleasant and inviting atmosphere, provide a sense of connection to the outdoors, and offer various health benefits. Strategies for optimizing natural lighting include maximizing windows, using skylights or light tubes, and incorporating reflective surfaces to distribute light.

Colored Lighting:

Colored lighting involves the use of light with different hues to create specific moods or effects. Colored filters or RGB (Red, Green, Blue) LED lights can be used to produce a wide range of colors. Colored lighting is often used in theatrical settings, entertainment venues, or architectural lighting installations to evoke emotions, set a specific ambiance, or create visual interest.
