Before buying the different lamps for your ceiling, accent or mood lighting, it's essential to have a clear idea of what the final result will look like. There are four main types of lighting.

First of all, there's general lighting, which is used to illuminate an entire room, whether it's the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom or outdoors. This light source needs to be powerful enough to reach every nook and cranny. In a large room, it's useful to have more than one source so that the room is sufficiently lit without having a lamp that's too dazzling. You can also add wall sconces to soften the mood. General lighting lamps can be grouped together in a chandelier, provided that the ceiling height is sufficient.

After general lighting, there are accent lights. Mounted on walls, furniture or the floor, these sources create a comfortably lit area without flooding the room with light. With spot lighting, you can focus light on the dining room, TV area or kitchen worktop. In the bedroom, spot lighting at the headboard makes reading more comfortable. In the bathroom, this type of lighting is a precious asset for applying make-up or shaving.

It's also common practice to install lighting in closets and cupboards to make it easier to find items.

Among the existing types of lighting, there are also decorative fixtures whose aim is to highlight the interior or exterior design of the home. The precision of their beam is paramount to precisely highlight a corner of a wall, knick-knacks, paintings or works of art. 

White light is available in a wide variety of shades, each with a specific effect on the human organism. A distinction is made between the colors of light: warm white, neutral white and daylight white. Incandescent bulbs have always been warm white, while LED lamps are available in all three color ranges. On some recent models of LED bulbs or floor lamps, it's even possible to change color and intensity gradually. 

Light can have both a stimulating and calming effect on human beings. Warm, low-temperature light has a calming, relaxing effect, while cool light makes rooms appear larger. A high proportion of blue, which is particularly strong in cold light, has a biologically stimulating effect and promotes concentration and performance. Warm light, on the other hand, promotes the sleep hormone melanin.
