Lighting your home__** Lighting can make a big difference about how you feel about your home. It adds beauty and drama to a room. It can create many types of atmospheres it’s less expensive than remodeling options.

__**Lighting needs**__ The lighting depends on the activities that occur in a specific apace of room. With light you can create an atmosphere or emphasize decorative elements.

3 types of lighting that work together to light your home:
 * __Fundamentals of lighting:__**

__General Lighting__ provides an area with overall illumination. Also known as ambient lighting, general lighting radiates a comfortable level of brightness, enabling one to see and walk about safely. It can be accomplished with chandeliers, ceiling or wall-mounted fixtures, recessed or track lights, and with lanterns outside your home. A basic form of lighting that replaces sunlight, general lighting is fundamental to a lighting plan.



__Task lighting__ helps you perform specific tasks such as reading, sewing, cooking, homework, hobbies, games, or balancing your checkbook. It can be provided by recessed and track lighting, pendant lighting, and portable lamps. Task lighting should be free of distracting glare and shadows and should be bright enough to prevent eyestrain.



__Accent Lighting__ adds drama to a room by creating visual interest. As part of a decorating scheme, it is used to spotlight paintings, houseplants, sculpture, and other prized possessions, or to highlight the texture of a wall, drapery or outdoor landscaping. Accent lighting requires at least three times as much light on the focal point as the general lighting around it. This usually is provided by track, recessed, or wall-mounted fixtures.

My opinion about the clip called " The light in Prague"

Somehow this clip is not new for me. I saw it years ago when the movie came out and I just couldn’t forget about what the character of the movie said. I believe he is right. The light is very important in the process of designing a building, a house or just a room. It affects the way we look at things and can make us feel in a specific mood. The light is different in many places of the world but is also singular when the day passed by. It’s not the same the sunlight at the morning than the sunlight at noon.
