according to the designated use of any space . Residential lighting differs tremendously from the requirements for commercial , corporate , retail and entertainment spaces . In the past , people were less interested in the lighting for their offices . There has been a huge change as the world has become more concerned with corporate image and corporate culture , as well as a more scientific approach to workplace lighting . Productivity is directly impacted by the type , placement and strength of lighting in any office . It can be function related according to each room , although generally shared areas like corridors should have uniform lighting . There is a misconception that less interior lighting is needed during the hours of daylight . That is counter-intuitive , as in reality , you actually need to increase interior light source to match the level of external light to balance it .
Residential lighting needs to have a totally different approach , as you must create spaces that serve multiple and varied activities and states of relaxation . Lighting also has to be task related , whether you are reading a menu in a restaurant , or in your dressing room at home . You must feel comfortable with the amount and positioning of the light source .
