Lighting, also known as illumination, is the process of providing artificial light to an area with the help of light fixtures. Lighting technologies provide light for illumination, decorative purposes, security, task performance, and of course, safety. Lighting allows us to extend our activities after the sun sets. Good lighting design is one of the key considerations when designing indoor and outdoor spaces today. With the advent of new energy sources and smart technology, options for lighting have been evolving to positively impact both the efficiency and the aesthetics of lighting design. When selecting lighting for an interior space, think about the function of the area, the type of lighting required, the intensity of the illumination required, and the color temperature desired. Consider the demands of the space, the intensity of the lighting, and the overall ambiance. In general, living spaces may have a variety of lighting from lamps and pendants to wall sconces and under cabinet lights. Lighting in outdoor areas is equally as important as lighting indoors. It affects both the safety and the beauty of the space. Outdoor lighting should be bright enough to allow activities, such as having guests for dinner or enjoying barbeques, but also aesthetically pleasing. Path lights, post lights, and security lighting can be used to effectively combine function with beauty. Whether you are illuminating indoors or outdoors, lighting should always be an integral part of your overall design. Today there are many options for lighting, from energy-efficient LED to decorative solar lighting, making it easy to light your space with personality and efficiency.
