Residential lighting is governed by Title 24 energy Calculations in California. The type of lighting in areas like the kitchen and bathrooms is governed by each city’s building codes. Usually, a fluorescent or LED type of lighting must be a percentage of the lighting in these areas. Interior lighting is governed by a lot of different needs and functions of a particular room.
Different type of lighting is needed in a kitchen, bathroom, and living area. And sometimes the installation of a dimmer may make all the difference in lighting a room. We describe interior lighting as three functions. One, being ambient lighting or general lighting, which can be surface, recessed, track, low voltage, fluorescent, or LED fixtures. Two, being task lighting for working areas, like the kitchen and bathrooms.
Task lighting is meant to provide a high level of lighting in work areas, like sinks, countertops, and islands. This lighting can also be achieved through surface, recessed, tracklow-voltagege, fluorescent, or LED fixtures. If cabinets are over counters, under-cabinet fixtures such as fluorescent and LED strips should be used for nice, even spaced lighting.
Three, being what is called in-between lighting or general lighting, the common areas between the general lighting and task lighting areas. Recessed lighting has become the most popular lighting of today. The special uses besides general lighting, used with recessed lights, are wall washing, accent lighting, and grazing. Surface light fixtures are defined by type,e, and all come with different features.
There are two types of pendant lights. A light that hangs down from a ceiling chain or cord. Another type of pendant light is the chandelier. Then there are the flush ceiling fixtures that can help decorate a room, and wall sconces that can decorate a wall. Exterior lighting takes in all the lighting on the exterior of the house itself and all the lighting on the lot of the house.
All exterior doors must have a light within six feet of the door opening. The most popular exterior light used today is the motion-sensor light.
