• Task Lighting: To provide light in an area where an activity takes place, e.g. the kitchen counter top where meals are prepared a reading lamp or a make-up mirror. It is meant to highlight a specific area in addition to the ambient light in that room.
• Accent Lighting: It’s used to highlight objects like works of art, architectural features or plants, by creating contrast in brightness. This is often achieved using recessed or surface mount adjustable fixtures or track lighting, wall grazing and wall-washing.
• Decorative Lighting: This is the jewelry for the home; the main function of decorative lighting fixtures is to look pretty. Chandeliers and wall sconces are typical examples.
