Lighting provides visibility and atmosphere in the home. It can be fixed or portable, used inside or outside, and it can be functional for home activities, ornamented and of different colors. When planning the lighting for a room, considering that different types of lighting have different uses. Natural light from windows or skylights will flood the room with a soft even light. However, these won't be enough to provide general visibility during darker periods or for specific tasks such as studying or cooking. Therefore, a mix of artificial lighting may be needed to supplement this and this includes general lighting from recessed lighting and pendant lights. These may be combined with wall and table lamps or switched focal lights. Task lighting needs to be bright and focused on a specific area, such as the kitchen countertop or craft area. Finally, there is decorative lighting. This could be as simple as fitting a candle holders. Customised light fixtures like ambient LEDs or even those with a periodic theme can be added to create an ambience. In conclusion, lighting does more than just provide visibility. With careful consideration, the different types of lighting can be used to create an atmosphere that help to keep the home comfortable, inviting and safe.
