What are the different Types of Lighting? Find out here!

You have to know that lighting influences the decoration, the colors of the home, the environment, etc. Therefore, it is of vital importance to know what types of lighting exist.

The types of lighting that exist are: general, punctual (or focal), ambient and decorative lighting. Next, we will delve much deeper into each of these types of lighting.

This type of lighting manages to illuminate the entire room without generating shadows or glare. Normally a general lighting is achieved with a single point of light located in the center of the room.

As a decorative luminaire, it could be a ceiling lamp or a Pendant Lamp. Many of our clients also tend to opt for technical lighting, using several spotlights, whether embedded or surface to achieve general lighting throughout the room.
It is recommended to use general lighting in all rooms of the home (living room, kitchens, bedrooms, corridors, stairs, etc.).

The main objective of this type of lighting is to illuminate only one area, either in the office area, in the kitchen area, etc. Spot lighting is complementary to general lighting. This would be based, roughly, on desk lamps and floor lamps.

As we discussed in another article, in iluxiform.com we recommend that, when you are working or studying at the desk, you use a punctual lighting (study lamp) and also other general lighting to complement both types of lighting and avoid shadows and glare.

Unlike the type of general lighting, ambient lighting (also known as exhibition lighting) is designed to create a certain atmosphere, whether in the dining room, in the bedrooms, etc.

In the vast majority of cases, lamps designed to offer ambient lighting do not emit enough light to achieve general lighting.
For example, we would need ambient lighting to watch TV in a relaxed way. Without using the general light, only with a table or floor lamp, we will get an ambient lighting to relax in our own home.

As its name suggests, this type of lighting is used to highlight decorative objects in our house. As it could be, for example, an art painting, a sculpture or even a plant.
