Internal lighting is extremely important when designing a residence, the main reason for that is the fact that we actually spend many hours in our house without sun light.
As you can see it is important to supply our house with sufficient but also smooth lighting.
Every part of your house should have at least 2 light sources, one at the ceiling and one at the wall.
You can use a hanging lighting source for the ceiling and spot light or a floor light.
The reason for using at least 2 sources is that a single source can be tiring to the human eye so you need another one to complement the other.
In areas that are not used a lot, like the bathroom or a warehouse its OK to have one lighting source.
On the other hand areas which are used often need many lighting sources in order to be appealing and functional.
The selection of the lighting equipment must be made considering the overall decoration of our house and of course the result we want to achieve.
In every case the lighting equipment must be easy accessible.
The volume of the light bulbs needs to be selected according to one rule.
The sources need to be of equal intensity in all parts of the area.
There must not be any source dominating another.
The main attributes of a lighting ray are the direction and the width.
When these attributes are known one can design the internal lighting and give emphasis to certain items by directing the rays to it.
There are also other lighting alternatives like the pseudo-ceiling lighting which is ideal for bedrooms or sitting rooms.
These can be applied to the ceiling or even in some cavity in the wall and provide the area a whole new dimension.
As you can see the design of your internal lighting is important in order to properly enjoy the hours you spend at your home.
