Lighting Types

November 7, 2009 by

When building or buying a home one of the most important aspects of the home that must be taken into consideration is the lighting. The mood of each room is determined by the lighting used.

Different rooms in a home are used for different activities so each has different lighting requirements as well. Like some are categorized as task areas which include kitchen, bathrooms, home office etc. while others can be categorized as living areas like bedrooms and family rooms.

Most of the people find selecting lights for task areas much easier than choosing for the living areas. This is mainly because task areas are used for some particular activities which will require direct and focused lighting so you do not have to think about the mood factor for these area.

The most important type of lighting for these rooms is ambient lighting. It is usually the main source of light for a room and is designed to give off as much light as possible. It can be beautiful yet functional at the same time. Task lighting is the next source used for these rooms. It is used in areas that sometimes need more light, such as above a sink or a frequently used workspace.

After ambient and task lighting, you can think about accent lights with which you can highlight some special features of the room like any wood work or a painting etc.

For planning lighting style for living areas, you should first go for accent lighting, then task lighting and finally ambient lighting, just opposite the way you chose for task areas.

You can use accent lights here to enhance the beauty of the room. Like, you can draw special attention to points of interest, a painting or a beautiful sculpture. For hobby areas like reading areas or a pool table, go for task lights because these areas require focused lights.

So, lighting types are designed to work together to complete the home. After choosing the type you will want to choose the fixtures that match your style. Whatever your preference in lighting design, you are sure to find something that will accent your home beautifully.
