Cove light
There are three common forms of architectural lighting, and cove lighting is
a popular form. Cove lighting is placed in a ledge, shelf or recess high up on a
wall, and the light is bounced toward the ceiling or upper wall. . In this
bedroom, the cove lighting illuminates the ceiling above the bed
2. Task light
Task lighting provides increased light for specific tasks in a room that may
already have some ambient light. Task lighting is especially useful for seeing
small objects or objects of low contrast. For example, a person who is sewing
would need extra light to easily see fine details. Task lighting can also
provide increased light for tasks that require accuracy, such as reading
directions on a bottle of medicine or chopping vegetables in the kitchen.
Task lighting is also useful for workspaces, such as a workbench or
woodshop in the garage, or a space used for arts and crafts.
3. Pendant light
Suspended from the ceiling, a pendant light directs light down. It can easily
enhance the decorative style of a room and add character. Pendants are
great because they can be placed in a lot of areas and can hang directly
above work spaces. Depending on the style and placement of the pendant,
you can use these for ambient, task, or accent lighting.
4. Track light
Track lighting is mounted or suspended from the ceiling on a linear unit that
contains several light heads, which can be positioned anywhere along the
track. The direction of the heads can also be adjusted. In this room, the track
lighting is used to highlight the artwork and wall and provide overall light for
the space.
5. Industrial light
Industrial lighting is a design trend that celebrates the simple and sturdy
aesthetic of old factories and industrial spaces. Lighting within these
industrial spaces was built using strong, unfinished, and long-lasting
materials.
6. Strip light
An LED strip light (also known as an LED tape or ribbon light) is a flexible
circuit board populated by surface mounted light-emitting diodes (SMD
LEDs) and other components that usually comes with an adhesive backing.
Traditionally, strip lights had been used solely in accent lighting,
backlighting, task lighting, and decorative lighting applications.
7. Example of Indirect Lighting
Indirect lighting goes anywhere, in the kitchen, living room, garden, or

bathroom.
Kitchen
Indirect lighting is surprisingly versatile. It can

be used in almost any space in the entire
house. It sets the right mood and it looks
classy.
Living Room
8. Example of Direct Lighting
Direct light is important where we perform work and tasks, like at home but
also in offices and other workplaces. Direct light illuminates specific objects
and we need this for example when reading a book at home, studying or for
when assembling a product.
9. Parts of Incandescent Bulb

The incandescent light bulb or lamp is a source of electric light that works by
incandescence, which is the emission of light caused by heating the filament.
They are made in an extremely wide range of sizes, wattages, and voltages.

10. Parts of Fluorescent Tube
Fluorescent lights are found commonly in offices, industrial facilities and

garages. More and more, compact fluorescent lights are replacing
incandescent lights in our homes.
11. CFL
Compact fluorescents are designed to replace the standard incandescent

bulb and screw into everyday table lamps and lighting fixtures.
12. LED
The light-emitting diode (LED) is one of today's most energy-efficient and

rapidly-developing lighting technologies. LED lighting is very different from
other lighting sources such as incandescent bulbs and CFLs. Key differences
include the following:
 Light Source: LEDs are the size of a fleck of pepper, and a mix of red,
green, and blue LEDs is typically used to make white light.
 Direction: LEDs emit light in a specific direction, reducing the need for
reflectors and diffusers that can trap light. This feature makes LEDs
more efficient for many uses such as recessed downlights and task
lighting. With other types of lighting, the light must be reflected to the
desired direction and more than half of the light may never leave the
fixture.
 Heat: LEDs emit very little heat. In comparison, incandescent bulbs
release 90% of their energy as heat and CFLs release about 80% of
their energy as heat.
13. Halogen
The halogen light bulb or lamp is a type of incandescent lamp which uses a
halogen gas in order to increase both light output and rated life. They are
known for moderately high efficiency, quality of light, and high rated life
compared to regular incandescent lamps.
14. Metal Halide
A metal-halide lamp is an electrical lamp that produces light by an electric

arc through a gaseous mixture of vaporized mercury and metal halides
(compounds of metals with bromine or iodine). It is a type of high-intensity
discharge (HID) gas discharge lamp. Developed in the 1960s, they are similar
to mercury vapor lamps,[1] but contain additional metal halide compounds
in the quartz arc tube, which improve the efficiency and color rendition of
the light.
15. High Pressure Sodium
A sodium-vapor lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that uses sodium in an excited

state to produce light at a characteristic wavelength near 589 nm.
Two varieties of such lamps exist: low pressure and high pressure. Low-
pressure sodium lamps are highly efficient electrical light sources, but their
yellow light restricts applications to outdoor lighting, such as street lamps,
where they are widely used. High-pressure sodium lamps emit a broader
spectrum of light than the low-pressure lamps, but they still have poorer
color rendering than other types of lamps. Low-pressure sodium lamps only
give monochromatic yellow light and so inhibit color vision at night.
