Types of Lighting

There are four main lighting types. Each provides a different function in illuminating your space.

Ambient lighting

Also called general lighting, ambient lighting serves as the primary light source for a room. They are typically overhead fixtures centered in a room.

Task lighting

Task lighting is extra lighting used in a room to perform a specific task, such as sewing or reading. Task lighting is used in addition to ambient lighting.

Accent lighting

Accent lighting directly highlights and emphasizes a feature, such as a painting, sculpture, or architectural detail.

Decorative lighting

Decorative lights add an extra layer of light and sparkle to a room. Their decorative flair enhances the beauty and of your space.

Common Light Fixtures

Wall Mounted

Mounted directly to wall spaces, wall-mounted light fixtures balance overhead light fixtures and add brightness.

Wall-mounted lights are versatile fixtures for almost any room, from bathrooms and bedrooms to dining and living rooms. They also work great in tighter spaces with shorter ceilings, such as hallways and bathrooms.

Sconce

Mounted flush to the wall, sconces have a decorative base and provide task or ambient lighting in spaces without cluttering the room.

Vanity light

Generally centered above a bathroom mirror, vanity lights include a row of bulbs that help illuminate your bathroom with ambient light.

Ceiling Lights

Ceiling-mounted fixtures work best in large open spaces, such as a living room, dining room, or entryway. An appropriately sized hanging fixture makes small spaces look larger as they draw the eye up.

Chandeliers

Chandeliers suspend from the ceiling and come in various shapes, materials, and sizes, with enough light to illuminate a whole room.

Pendants

Suspended from a chain or rod, pendant lights have adjustable lengths and typically include one bulb to cast downward illumination.

Flush mount

Flush mount ceiling lights lay flat against the wall and have a streamlined profile. They're perfect for rooms with low ceilings.

Semi-flush mount

Semi-flush fixtures are similar to flush mount lights, but they extend a few inches from the ceiling for a decorative flair.

Freestanding Lighting

Freestanding lights stand on their own and don’t require installation. They work best as a complement to an overhead or wall-mounted light.

Floor Lamps

Tall standing lamps with a weighted base, floor lamps provide light higher in a room and can work alone or be paired with overhead lighting.

What’s the Difference Between Hard Wired & Plug-In Lights?

Hard-wired lights connect directly to the electrical wiring in your home, bypassing the need for exposed cords. It may be difficult to install hard-wired lights yourself, and you may need the help of an electrician.

Plug-in lights are simple to use. Just plug them into a power outlet; however, there will be an exposed cord you may want to secure or conceal.

What’s the Difference Between Uplights & Downlights?

Uplights are designed to project light upward and illuminate a large area as it directs light toward the ceiling. Uplights make small spaces feel larger because they reflect light off multiple surfaces.

Downlight fixtures are designed to project light downward to the floor, creating a warm and inviting glow. Downlight fixtures do not provide as much illumination as uplight fixtures and are better suited for creating intimacy or brightening walkways.

Some fixtures provide up-and-down lighting, which directs an equal amount of light in both directions. This makes these fixtures great for various spaces and rooms.

How To Choose the Right Light Fixture

Consider Your Space & Needs

What spaces around your house need lighting? If you have a low-hanging ceiling, try a flush-mount ceiling light, a wall-mounted sconce, or even a floor lamp. If you need task kitchen lighting, a string of pendants is the best option.

Consider Style & Design

Light fixtures come in various styles, such as modern, traditional, rustic, and transitional. They also come in many finishes, such as black, bronze, brown, copper, pewter, and more. Consider what will best fit the design of your room.

Consider Additional Features

Do you prefer a hard-wired overhead feature that requires installation? Or is a simple plug-in lamp more your style? Consider the dispersion of the light and whether it will be uplight, downlight, or both.
