There are various types of lighting within a environment. Usually a space will have a central light source such as a ceiling fixture which will provide the overall illumination for the room. Task lighting can then be added to a space to illuminate workspaces, the balance between light sources – instead of shifting eyes from bright to dark areas – will help prevent headaches and eyestrain. Accent lighting is excellent for highlighting focal points. To effectively accent, you need to provide three times the level of general lighting. Too much accent lighting will destroy the effect and wash out the room. Choosing lighting will depend on the type of mood you wish to set.
