Understanding the Four Key Lighting Types
Ambient Lighting
Often referred to as general lighting, this provides overall illumination that allows employees to navigate and work comfortably throughout the day. It's the foundation of any well-lit space.
Task Lighting
Focused and functional, task lighting supports detailed work—whether it’s reading, writing, or screen-based tasks. By reducing glare and shadows, it increases accuracy and reduces fatigue.
Accent Lighting
Used to highlight architectural elements, artwork, or focal areas, accent lighting adds depth and visual interest to the workplace, guiding attention to what matters most.
Decorative Lighting
Beyond function, lighting can express personality. Decorative fixtures shape the identity of a space and create an inviting atmosphere that reflects company culture.
