Lighting in Interiors

As designers we should take into consideration the activities being held in each space when designing a lighting plan. A space should have the following based on its needs:
- Ambient lighting (general lights)
- Accent lighting (to highlight on architectural features)
- Task lights (provides focused lighting for a particular task such as reading)
- Decorative lights

Bar table
"Bars can be lighted from above with recessed or track fixtures, or with miniature, low-voltage pendants that hover intimately over the bar." (americanlightingassoc.com)

Game tables
"require bright, even overhead lighting. Shaded pendants equipped with either incandescent bulbs or energy-efficient compact fluorescent tubes are one solution (see illustration). Or, install two recessed downlights over each half of the table."(americanlightingassoc.com)
