    Accent Lighting- Uses
    - Accent lighting could be the spot light on river rock fireplace

    - or the light inside your china cabinet,

    - or even the picture lights that focus your attention on the painting hanging on the
    wall,

    - it could also be the halogen puck lights under your kitchen cabinets,

    - the fluorescent back-lighting at the top of your kitchen cabinets,

    - or the rope lighting in the kick-space under your kitchen cabinets.

    - Dining rooms and living rooms, along with entrance foyers and other areas of
    special architectural interest, benefit most from accent lighting.

    - Accent lighting is also used for dramatic flair in landscape lighting


    How to use
    To be dramatic, accent lighting should be at least three
    times as intense as the surrounding area.

    For highlighting paintings you want to use a spacing ratio


    of about 2/3:1, with the second number representing the
    distance from the centre of the painting to the ceiling,
    and the first number is the distance between light and
    wall. For highlighting three dimensional pieces of art, like
    a statue you would use the same 2/3:1 spacing ratio, but
    you would need to hit it from multiple directions about
    18" between lights.
    Dimmer lights gives the option of having
    lights all the way up or all the way down.
    Task Lighting
    Task lighting should be at least double normal
    ambient light. The light level in a living room or dining
    room might be anywhere between 10 to 20 FC, and
    by the chair in the living room where you read beside
    you might have it up to 50 FC, but in the work area of
    a kitchen, or in a home office you may want it up to
    100 FC in brightness.
    Task Lighting
    Task Lighting-
    Definition
    Task lighting is the lighting that you need, to be able to do a task, it may
    be the most overlooked, yet most important, type of lighting application
    in our homes and work places.

    Good task lighting makes work easier on the eyes, prevents headaches,
    makes cooking more enjoyable, and allows the individual to better
    concentrate on the job at hand with the added safety of a good light.

    Task lights focus light in a particular direction or area, without casting


    any glare and minimize shadows on work.

    Task lighting should always be used in conjunction with proper ambient


    light, having a bright desk lamp in a dark office will only add to your eye
    strain every time you look up from your desk.
