The Four Basic Types Of Lighting

• Ambient lighting: Commonly called "general lighting." It is designed exclusively to give you consistent and uniform lighting levels over the entire area.
• Task lighting: Used tailored explicitly for the task you are about to finish. For example, a desk lamp gives you brightness while you finish your homework or a bedside floor lamp is used for reading a good book.
• Accent lighting: Best for highlighting the focal points of interest, such as a unique piece of art and painting. A good accent lighting is in contrast or much more light than ambient lighting and will guide your gaze to where it is required to focus.
• Decorative lighting: Purely used for aesthetic purposes to show your personal touch of style to your desired home lighting.

Lighting For Living Room

Transform your living space by combining ambient lighting like Alphalux chandeliers or pendant lights that provide overall illumination. Place it at the center ceiling of your living room to set the focal point. Add dimmer switches to control light intensity.

For living space activities like reading or playing games, place task lighting like floor lamps and table lamps near seating areas or reading nooks to provide focused light.

Highlight your living space's artwork, sculptures, or architectural features with wall-mounted sconces or adjustable track lights. This lighting style will help achieve an inviting ambiance where your family and guests feel safe and welcome.

Lighting For Bedroom

The bedroom needs a sense of comfort where you and your loved ones can rest after a long, tiring day. Place Alphalux ceiling-mounted fixtures or soft pendant lights to create a calming ambiance. Opt for smooth and minimal design lighting that can be dim to adjust your desired light levels when sleeping.

Add bedside table lamps that offer convenient reading and a serene praying area at night or a wall-mounted swing-arm lamp that can save space and give focused lighting. These types of lighting can also provide a sufficient light source for those who prefer to sleep with the lights on without causing eye irritation.

Lighting For The Dining Area

The busiest room in our house, where food preparation and cleaning are done, is the kitchen and dining, which requires sufficient and appropriate lighting. Putting Alphalux task lighting, such as downlights and undercabinet lights, in your kitchen sink, counters, and locations where you prepare food will add convenience and significantly affect the overall look.

A statement ambient lighting like a chandelier or pendant light above the dining table sets the tone for mealtime gatherings. Install Alphalux LED strip lights above or below cabinets to add character and create a cozy atmosphere. Good kitchen and dining space lighting will make your meal chores—preparing, cleaning, and eating—efficient, inviting, and safe

Lighting For Bathroom

Ceiling-mounted fixtures or recessed lights are top-notch for the bathroom since they ensure even lighting throughout the space. Moreover, these lights are designed to withstand humidity and prevent water-related electrical accidents. It is also a space-saving lighting option with a minimally elegant design.

For proper hygiene and personal grooming, vanity lights on either side of the mirror eliminate shadows and provide optimal grooming lighting. Alternatively, you may put LED strip lights around mirrors or inside shelves for added visual interest.

Lighting For Outdoors

Creating an intimate vibe that promotes a serene, welcoming atmosphere is a must in an outdoor entryway. Combining ambient lighting and wall-mounted fixtures or lanterns creates a warm welcome.

String lights, wall sconces, and post lights can transform outdoor areas into cozy extensions of your home, especially on a porch or patio. Use spotlights to highlight trees, pathways, or garden features, creating a stunning nighttime view for your outdoor garden landscape
