Lighting & Light Fittings

Light and light fittings provide artificial lighting in the interior or exterior of all buildings and can use light bulbs or tubes, which are wired into the electric power grid. Light fittings may be installed into the structure of the building or be portable with a plug like lamps. Lighting may be classified according to the direction from which the light falls. Downlighting is directed down from the ceiling and is the most common. Uplighting is a way to minimise glare. Frontlighting, side lighting and backlighting are also possible though they may cause problems for people to understand perspective. The purpose of the lighting affects the choice of fittings. Task lighting is purely functional whilst accent lighting is decorative to highlight elements of interior design. Ambient or general lighting is a mixture of the two. Fittings can be installed in the ceiling, recessed light, alcoves, close to walls (soffit), in sconces or be a portable structure like a table lamp. Lighting and light fittings have both a functional and decorative role. They can be strip lighting to ensure good visibility in places like factories or they can spotlight merchandise in the retail industry. Homes tend to have combine both elements by having ceiling light fittings and more decorative lamps.
