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.

3. ACCENT LIGHTING

Accent lighting is used to highlight a specific feature in a room, such as an artwork. However, it should not be the focal lighting in a room, rather, it should only add depth or character to the space. Accent lighting can be used to showcase furniture, cast light onto end tables, or accentuate architectural elements in your space like shelving or inset bookcases.

HOW TO ACHIEVE ALL THREE TYPES OF LIGHTING

If you want to achieve a space with depth, light and shadow, with a cozy atmosphere, opt for building a space in layers where each type of lighting is represented. Create a cohesive design by utilizing different styles of lighting, but unifying them with a central theme. Our THIN System is incredibly versatile while still retaining its 1/2-inch solid brass profile. Add adjustability to your lighting by installing dimmers. Contact our sales team for more recommendations on how we can make this happen.
