Types of Interior Lighting
Ambient Lighting
• General or ambient lighting is
intended to light up a room in its
entirety.
• Provides uniform level of illumination

throughout the space independent
of other lighting sources.
• Ensure safe and easy tra c, create

an overview of the room.
• The ambient light ‘bounces’ o the

walls to illuminate as much space as
possible.

Task Lighting
• Task lighting illuminates the tasks a
person carries out in a given space such
as reading, cooking, computer work.
• A brighter light is required in a smaller

focal point of the room for these sorts of
tasks.
• For a more pleasant illumination, it is

often best to avoid harsh lights or
lighting that casts troublesome shadows.
• It is also practical to install a single

switch for focal lighting, independent
from the room’s overall lighting switch.
Accent Lighting
• Accent lighting is used mainly to focus
on a speci c point of interest or to
achieve a desired e ect.
• This type of lighting gives the

impression of a larger room.
• Mostly used to highlight an architectural

feature, a plant (in outdoor layout), a
sculpture, or a collection of objects.
• As a general rule, e ective accent

lighting requires the installation of three
times more light on the focal point than
ambient lighting generally provides.

Lighting Parameters
• Luminous Flux (F): Quantity of light emitted
by a light source. Unit: Lumen (lm)
• Illuminance (E): Quantity of luminous ux

falling on a surface. Unit: Candela (cd)
• Luminous Intensity (I): Quantity of light

radiated in a particular direction. Unit: Lux (lx)
• Luminance: speci es the brightness of a

surface and is essentially dependent on its
re ectance. Unit: cd/m2
• Lumens = Candle power x solid angle

Interior Lighting Design Stages
1. Identifying The Requirements: Gaining a full understanding of what the
lighting installation is intended to achieve.
2. Determine the method of lighting: How the light is to be delivered to the

all surfaces. Ex: recessed, wall mounted, etc.
3. Selecting the Lighting Equipment: Selection is done based upon various

factors like size, quality of surface, e cacy, aesthetics, etc.
4. Calculate the lighting parameters and adjust the design as required:

Designers typically use one of three methods—Manual, Three
Dimensional Modelling, or Visualisation.
5. Determine the control system: Types and numbers of switches and

sensors.
6. Choice of Luminaries: It depends on lighting quality as carefully as the

cost. In the long term a well designed, well constructed luminaries will
be cheaper than a poor quality unit.
7. Inspect the Installation Upon Completion: After completing all 6 stages,

Lighting technicians check that all xtures and luminaries work correctly
and as intended.
