    Lighting can manipulate mood and responses through warm or cool tones. Natural light from windows is healthiest but artificial lights like incandescent, halogen, fluorescent, and LED bulbs provide illumination. Different lighting fixtures mounted on walls, ceilings, or as portable lamps distribute light for general, task, or accent purposes. Proper interior and exterior lighting planning ensures safety and code compliance through controlled switching and circuit management.
