Lighting is an important aspect in decorating a room. Good and suitable lighting can enhance the mood and tone of a room that want to be achieved. Below here is a list of light sources and brief explanation on kinds of light effect they offer to help you to choose the best source for your lighting.

Ceiling lights

Not recessed, ceiling lights are shaped more like a globe. They are generally omni directional.

Desk lights

Task lighting that concentrates directional light over a specific area. Look for ones with an adjustable arm so you can direct the light.

Down lighters

Directional light shines downwards. Normally recessed or semi recessed in to the ceiling. Can be either a broad floodlight or narrow beam.

Pendant lights

Offer a good light source but can look obtrusive. Light distribution depends on the type of shade, of which there is a huge choice. Fit a dimmer switch to control the intercity.

Spotlights

These can be ceiling, well or floor mounted or attached to a lighting track. Flexible and adjustable with light directed in a beam they made good accent lighting. Different bulbs are available for differing light effects.

Standard lamps

These offer omni directional and semi directional light depending on the lamp shade.
