Lighting does more than just illumination, it influences the atmosphere, accentuates design, and enhances daily comfort. We know that the ideal layering of lights - accent, task, and ambient lights, establishes balance in any interior setting, be it a warm home, a classy showroom, or a lively workplace. Ambient Lights Consider it as the general lighting for your room - the overall illumination that fills the entire space.
It essentially provides overall visibility and sets the mood for the room.

Task Lights
It’s the direct lighting that helps you see clearly when you’re performing a certain activity like reading, studying, eating, or cooking.
It improves the productivity of your tasks with the right level of lighting.

Accent Lights
It's lighting that's specific for illuminating your treasured pieces!
It highlights your art, textures in your interior, or a particular architecture feature in your space.

The combination of accent, task, and ambient lighting results in layered lighting. This creates depth in the interiors, elevating the space with the perfect mood.
