Layered lighting helps to achieve a look that is functional and aesthetically appealing. Knowing the basics of layered lighting can help you bring together different types of light fixtures and create a cohesive look. Did you know that layered lighting comprises three layers of light — ambient, task lighting, focal decorative lighting? Here we discuss them in detail:

Lighting layer basics: Curated by a leading indoor lighting solution provider

1. Ambient lighting : This layer of lighting provides overall lighting in a room. Ambient lighting provides the basic illumination and comfort that helps you move comfortably around in a space. The aim of ambient lighting is to uniformly provide general lighting to a space. It is a substitute of natural light and is the first layer of lighting.
2. Task lighting : This is the second layer of lighting. It helps you carry out a specific task such as reading, cooking and knitting. Task lights are useful for seeing small objects or objects of low contrast, for instance, while sewing or drawing. Desk lamps, under cabinet lamps, floor lamps and pendant lights over the kitchen sink are examples of task lights.
3. Focal lighting : The primary purpose of focal lighting is to highlight details such as architectural features, artwork, or photos. One of the most popular forms of focal lighting is track lighting, which is widely used in galleries, stores and museums. Other types of focal lighting include wall washers, adjustable accent lights, monopolist accent lights and others. Focal lights draw the attention to the displayed object or artwork, and not to the lights.

Note: Decorative lights bring an added visual interest to a room with their brightness and unique designs. Chandeliers, wall sconces, up and down wall light indoor and pendants are a few examples of decorative lighting. Decorative lighting fixtures can be used both indoors and outdoors. These lights give a personality and style to an indoor space, while in the outdoor setting, these lights increase security, safety and beauty of the outdoor area.
