TYPES OF LIGHT DISTRIBUTION

Indirect lighting The technique of indirect lighting

(sometimes called uplighting) uses one or more fixtures
to aim light onto the ceiling and upper walls, which act as
reflectors and distribute the light evenly throughout the room.
Indirect lighting minimizes shadows and reflected glare.

Direct light is when the light from a fixture or lamp

falls on a specific area or an object.
Concentrated Direct Lighting – light tends to be used
where privacy type of atmosphere is needed. Examples
are incandescent downlights. These usually used for
highlighting, local and supplementary lighting and specialized
viewing.

TYPES OF LIGHT DISTRIBUTION

Semi-indirect light: This light is mostly reflected but
some part of the light source also provides a smaller
amount of direct light.

Semi direct light In a semi-direct lighting system, 60

to 90 percent of the light from the luminaire shines toward
the working surface.

Spread Direct Lighting – light tends to be reflected by the

floor which then illuminates the ceiling. This is represented by
surface-mounted or troffer fluorescent fixtures and
usually used for general lighting in offices.
TYPES OF LIGHTBULBS

Light-Emitting Diode (LED): One of the most

energy-efficient lightbulb types, it gives off no heat,
contains no mercury, and emits a bright light. They provide
directional light so they are great for task lighting. Some
light fixtures come with LED lights built-in and are referred
to as integrated LED. They are long lasting (up to 50,000
hours) and are great for hard-to-reach places.

Compact Fluorescent (CFL): These

energy-efficient bulbs can emit a wide range of colors
depending on the model you choose. They often take some
time to warm up and get brighter. Use these to illuminate large
spaces, such as basements, great rooms, and kitchens. They
are less expensive than LED lights and can last longer than
incandescent lights.

TYPES OF LIGHTBULBS

Halogen: These lights emit a white light that simulates

high-noon daylight. Energy-efficient and dimmable, they are
great for recessed lighting, pendant lights, and under
cabinet lighting. This lightbulb has the shortest lifespan of
the four.
Incandescent: These are the most commonly used
type of bulb and are usually the least expensive. They emit
a warm light, can be used with dimmers, and usually last
up to a year – longer than halogen lightbulbs, but not as
long as CFL or LED lightbulbs. They are also not as
energy-efficient as other lightbulb types.
