When it comes to house renovations, lighting is an important but sometimes disregarded subject. It alters the way a space is perceived as being sized, adds atmosphere, and most significantly, it may change how you feel. More goes into good lighting design than just picking a stylish lampshade. In actuality, lighting design consists of three fundamental components. When used properly, ambient lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting may radically change the atmosphere of your home or workplace, making it a more comfortable and relaxing place to be. Lighting includes the use of both artificial light sources like lamps and light fixtures, as well as natural illumination by capturing daylight. Daylighting (using windows, skylights, or light shelves) is sometimes used as the main source of light during daytime in buildings. This can save energy in place of using artificial lighting, which represents a major component of energy consumption in buildings. Proper lighting can enhance task performance, improve the appearance of an area, or have positive psychological effects on occupants. Indoor lighting is usually accomplished using light fixtures and is a key part of interior design. Lighting can also be an intrinsic component of landscape project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
