Lighting

Lighting refers to the deliberate use of light to achieve practical or aesthetic effects in various environments. It involves the arrangement, intensity, color, and distribution of light to enhance visibility, create ambiance, and influence mood. In architecture and design, lighting is an essential element that can transform a space, highlighting features, and improving functionality. It encompasses both natural light sources, such as sunlight, and artificial sources, including lamps and LEDs. Lighting can be categorized into several types: ambient (general illumination), task (focused on specific activities), accent (to highlight particular areas or objects), and decorative (aesthetic purposes). The study and application of lighting involve an understanding of how light interacts with materials, colors, and shapes, as well as the psychological effects light can have on individuals and environments.
