Each has it’s own benefits and purposes depending on what the lighting has to achieve.

Below is a small explanation of the uses for each type of indoor lighting. |

1. Ambient Lighting
The purpose for ambient lighting to to light up a room or space entirely. This would usually be coming from a central location in a room. Designed and positioned to create an equal and consistent level of light throughout the space. Having a good amount of ambient lighting makes foot traffic safer and all areas of a room easy to see. Types of light fixtures for ambient lights would be traditional fixtures such as recessed, ceiling mounted, downlights and even chandeliers.

2. Task Lighting
Task lighting is fairly self explanatory, illuminating a task for a person to carry out. These tasks would be things like cooking, reading or lighting up a desk for paperwork. Usually a single focal bright light is used for these purposes, almost like a spotlight.
We recommend having a task light separate from the main lights for independent control. Types of light fixtures for task lights are pendant lights, under-cabinet lights and desk lamps. Most light fixtures can be used as a task light. |
3. Accent Lighting
Accent lighting is a more design feature, aimed at a point of interest to create a stylish effect. Most commonly used to highlight an object within a room such as a sculpture, antique furniture or other types of art. Types of light fixtures for accent lighting would be track lights, wall-mounted, directional lights and other similar fixtures. Here is an image of an example of how LED accent lights can be used to illuminate a room.

Outdoor Lighting
Just like interior lighting, there are a lot of types of exterior lighting, we can break these down into 3 main types, security lighting, garden lights and wall lights. With the multitude of outdoor lighting designs, there are many options for your outdoor lighting purposes. Depending on the specifics of your exterior lighting needs, we can advise on the most effective and energy efficient choice.
1. Security Lighting
Security lighting usually uses sensors that detect movement which activates the light. Used for illuminating a specified region to both light up an area to navigate and deter unwanted trespassers. Security Lighting is proven to be an effective tool for keeping a property safer. Types of security lighting are motion activated, timed lighting, floodlights, coach lights and much more.

3. Wall Lights
Outdoor wall lighting obviously is a light fixture that is mounted onto an external wall. With many different stylish designs available, people can get lost trying to choose the right design. It all depends on the goal of the wall light, are you simply trying to light an area for foot traffic or do you want to light an outdoor feature. With the right choice, an exterior wall light can itself be an outdoor feature. Examples of outdoor wall lighting would be lanterns, barn lights, floodlights, sconce lighting and many more.

Types of Light Bulb Technology
There are 5 main types of light bulb technology, incandescent, compact fluorescent, standard fluorescent, halogen and light emitting diodes or LED’s. The modern world has seen LED’s become the new normal for lighting because they are durable and energy efficient. Not to mention how dynamic and flexible they are in terms of lighting control. For example LED’s have the ability to change color with an app on your phone. Initially LED’s were expensive but as with any technology, as the manufacturing process becomes cheaper as does the product. LED’s are now very affordable and the way they can be implemented in a home or workplace is only limited by imagination.
This new technology makes customised lighting systems with full lighting control systems a breeze. We are only starting to scratch the surface in terms of using LED lighting and controls systems as part of smart home technology. For example, sensors can be positioned so the system knows when a person is entering or exiting a room. This information can then be programmed to have LED lighting either light up a room that is being entered or dim a room being exited. This improves lighting energy efficiency immensely and helps reduce the cost of bills.
