Of course, every area of your home requires a different type of lighting. For instance, you’d like to keep low-glow lighting in your bedroom to maintain an air of intimacy while on the other hand, the lighting in your home office area should be bright and brilliant.

Keeping in mind your aesthetic vision of your home along with the way you want to use this particular space, you can determine the pendant lights to be installed in your home.

Task Lighting

Task lighting are the pendant lights that illuminate a certain, specific area of your house which improves your working performance or functionality. When you choose pendant lights for task lighting, keep in mind the illuminating ability of the light as it supposed to boost your working ability, regenerate your attention and maintain your focus. 

Some of the top reasons why you may need task lighting in your home include:

  • Illuminating your kitchen area where you chop, cut, shred and do other necessary things to prepare meals
  • Brightening up your office area where you need to channel your undivided attention into mental activity
  • Illuminating your study room to ensure a healthy, productive and undisturbed studying time for yourself

Task lighting helps to improve your overall ability to work with better lighting and enhanced focus. So if you are looking for task lighting, the best type of pendant lighting to go for is the one with that maximizes illumination.

The purpose of ambient lighting is to brighten up the whole area such as your living room, dining area or stairway, mainly for visibility purposes.

One thing many people overlook when choosing pendant lights for ambient lighting is that just a set of pendant lights is not enough. You will need other lights such as wall fixtures or ceiling lights to support the illumination of your pendant lights.
