Types of Lighting Fixtures to Consider to Achieve Great Lighting

Lighting can make a room more functional, but it can be frustrating trying to find the right style to suit the space. When creating a unique look, the best lighting always includes a great fixture. To achieve the desired effect and lighting design, you can consider combining several types of lighting products in one space. 

Wall Lights
Wall lights, also called sconces, are a type of lighting product that is attached to a wall. They are decorative and can be used to provide general lighting in rooms.

Ceiling Light Fixtures
These lights are directly mounted to the ceiling and provide general illumination for the room or a particular section of the room.

Light Fittings
A light fitting attaches to the wall or ceiling and allows you to place light bulbs.

Pendant Lights
As a single source of lighting, a pendant light typically hangs low in the room. These pendants provide a concentrated source of light that you can dim or brighten as needed.

Light Bulbs
Each light bulb has wattage, or luminance. This determines how much light it emits and how much electricity it consumes.

Spotlights
This type of lighting fixture refers to a specific light source that emits cones of light. Each cone of light that is sent out by a spotlight has a volume. A spotlight's main purpose is to illuminate an object or group of objects located within this volume.

Wall Sconces
These lights are generally directed upwards. Their existence relates back to the premodern era when similar fixtures were used for holding candles and torches. Modern wall sconces are available in a variety of sizes and shapes.

Track Lights
This is the most popular option for displaying a painting or curiosity at home. Track lights create a beautiful ambience for certain areas of the room. To bring out the beauty and charm of your exhibits, they are ideal for use in the living area or hallways.

Suspended Lights
These lighting fixtures hang from the ceiling with a rod or cord. Suspended fixtures provide ambient or task illumination. Suspended fixtures can accommodate many bulbs (candescent, CFL and LED) and come in many sizes.
