General, task and mood – three kinds of lighting for your home

Task lighting is a must-have whenever you need to focus. Reading, chopping, working – this is the light that helps you see clearly and stay comfortable. Desk lamps, worktop lighting or a low pendant lamp all do the job, letting your eyes relax as you complete your task. 

Mood lighting adds atmosphere to a room. Softer, warmer and often placed at a few different spots around the room – like table lamps or wall lights. Add dimmers or decorative lamps, and you’ve got just the right glow for winding down or having people over. 

General lighting is your all-over, everyday light. Think ceiling lamps or spotlights that brighten the whole room. It can sit softly in the background or step up when you need it – like when you’re cleaning and want to chase down every last dust bunny.
