Lighting is a form of illumination, which is an important part of our life. With lighting, people can do everyday activities such as reading, cooking, and eating in the evening. Lighting also plays an important role in making us feel comfortable and relaxed. Lighting can be provided by natural sources such as the sun, and artificial sources such as lamps and lights. Natural sources of light are not always available, and artificial sources must be used to supplement natural sources. Artificial lighting is mainly divided into two categories: fluorescent lighting and incandescent lighting. Fluorescent lighting is usually considered to be more energy efficient than incandescent lighting. Fluorescent light bulbs use about two-thirds less energy and last much longer than incandescent bulbs. Fluorescent lighting is best for general lighting needs, and it is becoming increasingly popular in the home. Incandescent lighting is still the most common type of lighting used in homes. Incandescent lighting emits a warm light that is pleasing to the eye, and it is relatively cheap and easy to install. Incandescent lighting is ideal for task lighting, accent lighting, and providing additional light in specific areas. No matter which type of lighting you choose, it is important to make sure that the lighting is appropriate for the area in which it is installed. Keep in mind that the lighting should be able to illuminate the area without being too bright or too dim. Additionally, always be sure to use the correct wattage for the particular lighting in order to reduce your energy consumption.
