Lighting

Lighting refers to the deliberate use of light to achieve practical or aesthetic effects in indoor and outdoor environments. It involves the application of natural and artificial light sources to illuminate spaces, enhance visibility, create ambiance, and highlight architectural features or design elements.

Effective Lighting design considers various factors, including the intensity, color temperature, and distribution of light, to suit the function and mood of a space. Lighting can be categorized into ambient (general Lighting), task (focused Lighting for specific activities), and accent (highlighting features or creating visual interest). Innovations in Lighting technology, such as LED and smart Lighting systems, have expanded the possibilities for energy efficiency, control, and customization, allowing for dynamic and adaptable Lighting solutions that can change in response to user needs or environmental conditions.

Lighting plays a crucial role in interior design, architecture, and urban planning, contributing to the safety, functionality, and aesthetic appeal of spaces.
