Lighting is a fundamental aspect of our daily lives, providing illumination for various spaces and serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. Here are key points related to lighting.
- Types of Lighting:
- Incandescent: Traditional bulbs that produce light through a wire filament heated to a high temperature by an electric current. They are less energy-efficient compared to newer technologies.
- Fluorescent: Use gas and phosphor coating to produce light. More energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs.
- LED (Light-Emitting Diode): Highly energy-efficient and durable. LED lighting has become increasingly popular for its long lifespan and versatility.
- Halogen: Similar to incandescent bulbs but use a halogen gas fill. They are more efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs but less so compared to LEDs.
- Lighting Design:
- Ambient Lighting: Provides overall illumination for a space and is often the base layer of lighting in a room.
- Task Lighting: Direct, focused light for specific activities like reading, cooking, or working.
- Accent Lighting: Highlights specific objects or areas, adding visual interest to a space.
