Lighting is very important in both home and business environment. Not only does lighting provide visibility and accentuate the decor of a space, but it also symbolizes a certain atmosphere. It is functional, but also aesthetic. In the home, natural lighting is a great way to keep the space active. It also tends to be softer and more relaxing than electric lighting. Window treatments such as curtains and blinds are also a great way to control the amount of natural light that comes in and helps to achieve the desired ambiance. For electric lighting, there are a few options. Incandescent light bulbs are the traditional of all lighting solutions and produce a warm white light. LED light bulbs are the newest trend in lighting as they are more energy efficient and have longer lifespan. Fluorescent lights are also a great way to save energy and emit a cool white light. In a business setting, traditional lighting is most often used while task lighting can also be added in order to focus attention on certain areas of the space. Track lighting is becoming more popular as it provides an efficient way to distribute light throughout a space while providing accent lighting. Finally, regardless of the type of lighting, it is essential to have a balanced approach that is suitable for the space. Choosing the right light fixtures and sources can make a huge difference in the look and feel of any space.
