What are the basic types of lighting? 

Ambient/General Lighting:  

Ambient or general lighting is a necessary part of your lighting plan. It provides an overall glow to a room and sets the tone for your living space. Ambient lighting creates enough light for you to see and move around comfortably. 

Create your own ambient lighting by using overhead fixtures like recessed spots, chandeliers and other ceiling lamps, or floor and table lamps. 

For a welcoming look and feel, opt for LEDs with a warmer colour temperature.  

Accent Lighting:  

Accent lighting is intended to create a focal point. It is used to draw attention to a feature, like your favourite wall art, a plant, or to highlight your favourite work of art. Accent lighting adds dimension. If done well it will draw your eye immediately to the feature. Wall lamps are the ideal solution, like picture lights or sconces. 

Task Lighting: Task lighting the type of lighting that you can direct or have near to a task you are completing. This type of lighting is “directed” onto your task and can be provided in several ways, allowing you to adjust and/or allowing you to brighten or darken to fit your needs. Effective task lighting needs to be bright enough to prevent eye strain, which is perfect for reading, cooking, puzzling or studying and working from home. 

Task lighting, like desk or table lamps, should also be placed to the side of you where you are working. This will reduce glare and limit shadows.
