Lighting a Component that Completes a Home
Our homes are incomplete without lights. We cannot see in the dark and therefore, we need lighting. Which, makes it a component of a house that cannot be missed and chosen with care. However, limited knowledge can end up in disastrous interior decorating that even tango lighting collection cannot help. Hence, before deciding on the light fixtures in your home, know your lights.
Lights and types:
Ambiance lighting
These are lights that illuminate the entire room; they are the main ones. The most common source for ambiance lighting is overhead fixtures like a flush or semi-flush mounts, and pendant or chandelier. When choosing an ambiance light, aesthetics and functionality is an essential factor, not to mention, the room in itself. For instance, a kitchen should have more ambiance lighting than the rest of the house, and the amount is measured using foot candles, referring to the reach of the light from a foot’s distance.
Task lighting
Unlike ambiance, task lighting is more specific in its functionality. It doesn’t illuminate the entire room or are, but a particular area it is fixed or pointed. A good example would be the bedside scones for late night reading or the pendant lighting over kitchen countertops. Furthermore, task lights are, also, found as the vanity light above the mirror. Choosing this type is not a daunting task, but requires a good sense of aesthetics and knowing the room. For instance, a kitchen countertop will go well with pendant lights, while the entryway calls for something sophisticated.
Accent lighting
While the former two focused on functionality and illumination, accent lighting is, purely, for decorative purposes. They are used to draw attention to a focal point, be it architectural or ornamental. A good example would be the lights that illuminate artworks in museums or a bookshelf in a home. Moreover, depending on its design, the lighting, itself, can be the decorative and the focal point in the room, like an embellished chandelier or scones.
Suitable lighting is a need at every home, and Tango lighting collection’s variety can satisfy each of them.
