Lighting is one of the most important aspects of any room. Light impacts the mood, activity level, and productivity of those that are around it. Poor lighting can have a serious impact on health and safety, strain the eyes, and contribute to long-term fatigue and illnesses. Good lighting will create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere and should be considered carefully when designing or remodeling a room. There are at least three different types of lighting; ambient, task and accent lighting. Ambient lighting is the overall general illumination of a room, it provides an even level of light for general activities such as getting dressed, walking around, and providing a safety reminder when it is dark. Task lighting is for more specific activities such as reading, cooking, or crafts. Accent lighting is used to bring focus to certain areas or objects. Light bulbs come in a variety of wattage and colors. LED bulbs are the most energy efficient and cost effective option. They provide a warm and inviting light thats perfect for creating a relaxing atmosphere. Halogen bulbs, fluorescent bulbs, and incandescent bulbs all come in different wattages and illuminate the room in different ways. Halogen bulbs are best used for accent lighting, fluorescent bulbs are most efficient for task lighting, and incandescent bulbs are great for general ambient lighting. When considering lighting for a space, its important to think about the activities that will be taking place in the space, the color of the bulbs, the wattage of the bulbs, and the overall feel of the lighting. With a little consideration of the factors, one can easily create the perfect lighting atmosphere to suit any room.
