The form and function of your lamp and LED

"Even a single lamp dispels the deepest darkness." Mahatma Gandhi

Decorating your house or apartment is exciting, but it can be a challenge too. There are so
many decisions to make: design style, color, and price point for everything from furniture, rugs,
and accents to lighting. Choosing a lamp or led is an important step in creating a beautiful and
livable home. But, which lamps or LED should you buy? There are so many options such as floor
lamp hats, led TV bars, luminaire glasses, and led hose flexible. This guide is created to help
you navigate some of the lamp/Led choices and give insight into things important factors to
think about.

Considering the form and function of your lamp

One way to streamline the number of choices is to determine the function and form of your
lamp. What kind of lighting do you need? Will it sit on the floor or a table, or will it be mounted
on the wall? Once you have answers to these questions, picking the correct lamp will be easier.

Five basic types of lighting

Natural lighting

This is the light that occurs naturally in a space during daylight hours. It can have a positive
mental and emotional effect by improving attitude and reducing stress. It also reveals the truest
colors.

Ambient lighting

This form of lighting is often referred to as “general lighting” and is intended to provide uniform
overall illumination in a room. Typically, it’s what we think of when we flip on a light switch as
we enter a space. Ambient lights are often ceiling fixtures or sconces, but they can be portable
lamps or wall lamps as well.

Task lighting

This kind of lighting can be thought of as illumination specific to performing a particular

activity. For example, reading in a living room, doing paperwork in a home office or preparing
food over a kitchen counter are all activities that benefit from additional brightness via task
lighting.

Accent lighting (a.k.a. focal lighting)

This sort of light creates an atmosphere or is used to draw your attention to a particular object
or aspect of your home’s architecture or landscape. Maybe you have a particular piece of
sculpture or artwork that you want to highlight. Perhaps it’s an antique china cabinet or Zen
garden bonsai tree. Some accent lighting precisely focuses the light on whatever you want to
visually celebrate indoors or outdoors. Other accents lights set the mood and tone with warm
or cool colors, depending on the ambiance you want to create.

Decorative lighting

This lighting is for purely aesthetic purposes. Think of it as jewelry for the architecture –
ornamental lighting to catch the eye and reflect personal style or affluence. These lights
typically do not emit light well, but simply add to the overall illumination in a minor way.
