Lighting is important in both residential and commercial settings. Lighting helps us to do our everyday tasks, comfortable and provides ambiance to the environment. In home lighting, design techniques can be used to configure the lighting into something that is comfortable and that provides a pleasant atmosphere. In bedrooms, a combination of bedside lamps and table lamps can be used. Living rooms might require more general lighting such as ceiling fixtures as well as table lamps and wall sconces. Kitchen lighting should be bright and even, with under cabinet light and task lighting being a must. In a commercial setting, lighting is essential for safety and productivity. Task lighting should be used in work areas so that workers have the proper lighting to complete their tasks in an efficient and safe manner. General lighting should be used to light up areas and to provide an appropriate level of visibility and lighting for activities. Lighting technology has changed drastically in the past decade. LED lighting has revolutionized the lighting industry, providing a more efficient and powerful alternative to traditional lighting sources. LEDs can be used for both general and task lighting, as well as providing decorative lighting features. In summary, lighting is extremely important in both residential and commercial settings. Proper lighting configurations and the right type of lighting can make a significant impact on the atmosphere of any space, as well as providing safety and efficiency.
