Task Lighting
Task lighting is any light that serves to provide light for a specific purpose or task. It could be a light used for reading, working at your desk, sewing, cooking at your stove, or even woodworking in your garage.
You should select the task light that suits the specific need but also select one that complements the rest of the lighting in the room at the same time.
Ambient Lighting
Ambient lighting is also commonly known as general lighting. Ambient tends to dominate the lighting landscape of each room. The main lights that you use to light up the room can usually be included within this lighting category.
Ambient light also tends to set the tone for the room. The level of ambient lighting will dictate whether a room is bright, homey, a bit darker or more relaxed.
Decorative Lighting
Decorative or accent lighting is often used when a certain architectural feature or a design element needs to be highlighted. Its role being mainly aesthetic, it can be used as mood lighting and can take on many different forms, depending on the style, the space, its function and desired overall look you want to achieve.
