428 Traditional Lighting Products

Lighting at home is a necessity but, used correctly, can also enhance the design of your traditional home. There are generally three types of lighting – general lighting, task lighting and accent lighting. General lighting, also known as ambient lighting, is intended to provide full illumination throughout a space, and tends to take the form of ceiling lights, recessed or track lights, wall sconces or floor and table lamps. Task lighting, on the other hand, lights up a particular area, such as a kitchen benchtop, so you can perform tasks safely and efficiently. And finally, accent lighting is used to draw attention to special features in and around the home, such as artwork, and often takes the form of recessed or track lighting. More

In addition to the general types of lighting, there is also an endless choice of traditional light fixtures, so narrow your search by ensuring you know what you want your lighting to do first. Think about the space you want to illuminate and how you use it – do you read books in the living room, or entertain guests, for example? In this case, a low-wattage floor lamp beside the couch or dimmable wall sconces for ambience would fit the bill. What type of fixture you use, whether it’s a chandelier or pendant light or table lamp, will come next. Read on for more on popular lighting, such as LED lights, pendant lights and downlights.
