1. The Basic Types of Lighting Light has a very subtle, but important, effect on us all. Proper usage of lighting has a very large benefit to our well-being, but also to our productivity and emotions. How we feel about a place or a task is very dependent on how the space is lit up, so naturally, it’s best to use light as practical and as efficient as possible. Good lighting goes a long way towards making our day feel better. Ambient/General Lighting Any good lighting plan has an excellent ambient or general lighting. It means that the space is properly lit up, and a corresponding emotion is being displayed in the room – meaning you can make the space feel more welcoming — or unwelcoming if that’s your plan. Good ambient lighting illuminates the entire room so you can move easily and see everything you need to see, and in some cases, it helps you increase your productivity. This type of lighting is mostly achieved by overhead lightings, like track lights, chandeliers and ceiling lamps, or larger fixtures that ensure every corner is properly lit. Ambiance lighting is perfect for the home, and if you want a warmer feeling to it, then consider using incandescent bulbs. Accent Lighting The point of accent lighting itself is to add drama to a subtle element in the room. That’s why it’s called accent lighting because it accentuates something. Its most frequent usage is to draw attention to a feature somewhere in the room, be it plant, or painting, a piece of furniture, sculpture, or whatever you think needs to be elegantly pointed out. The golden rule to achieve this is to have three times as much lighting for the accent than for the rest of the room. This means that everyone’s eyes will be diverted to the piece you’re trying to accentuate rather than the lighting itself. If you’re highlighting paintings it’s best to do so with LEDs – they don’t emit UV, and the heat they give off is almost non-existent, so your painting will be safe. Wall-mounted fixtures, track and recessed lighting are the best for highlighting.

2. Task Lighting If you want the space you use to have an air of productivity and efficiency, then you will be in need of task lighting. This type of lighting is highly localised, and it’s meant to be very adjustable because it’s meant to help you achieve certain tasks — you might need to change brightness and height, and the glare should be non-existent so as to prevent eye strain. Halogen bulbs are great for this, because they emit a white light similar to daylight, and they’re very energy efficient. And because task lighting is very dependent on lamps, you’ll probably need to have a decent reserve of lamps spares at your disposal if you tend to work a lot of time throughout the day – and that also goes for all the types of lighting as well. They’re quite cheap and often easy to find at places like Spare2You. Room illumination is an important part of our daily lives because we tend to spend a lot of time at home. Good lighting contributes towards a healthier life and should be utilised as much as possible. Visit https://www.spares2you.co.uk/lampholder-fittings
