Three Types of Lighting
Did you know bulbs that emit blue light waves promote a sense of focus, while bulbs that emit warmer light waves create a feeling of relaxation? Combine the appropriate light fixtures and light bulbs to illuminate your environment and add
aesthetic appeal to any space. Generally, light bulb function falls into one of three categories:
- Ambient Lighting - Ambient lighting serves as a space’s overall light source and gives off a gentle brightness that's not overpowering.
- Task Lighting - Compared to ambient lighting, task lighting is brighter and more concentrated. An ideal choice for lighting up a work or reading space, this type of lighting focuses light in a specific area.
- Accent Lighting - Accent lights, including landscape lights and wall lights, draw attention to a particular area or feature. Accent light bulbs are brighter than both ambient and task light bulbs.
