Selecting Suitable Lighting Fixtures for Your Home

General ambient lighting fixtures emit a gentle and natural-like glow, often referred to as "mood lighting," which contributes to a tranquil atmosphere in both indoor and outdoor spaces. These fixtures include recessed pot lights, ceiling lamps, chandeliers, track lights, as well as standalone structures like table and floor lamps.

Accent lighting serves to add flair and visual interest to your home, infusing spaces with style and drama. By focusing intense beams of light, accent lighting creates focal points that enhance the depth of a room. It's particularly effective for highlighting decorative elements such as artwork. Sconces and wall-mounted picture lights are common types of accent lighting fixtures.

Task lighting, sometimes called "office lighting," provides localized illumination designed for specific activities. These lights are adjustable to cater to various needs, reducing glare and minimizing eye strain. Task lighting is essential for tasks like reading or cooking. Fixtures such as recessed or track lights, as well as desk or task lamps, fall under the category of task lighting.
