They are three different types of light that work together: 1. General: provides an area with overall illumination. Also known as general lighting, it radiates a comfortable level of brightness without glare and allows you to see and walk about safely 2. Task: helps you perform specific tasks, such as reading, grooming, preparing and cooking food, doing homework, working and playing games. It can be provided by recessed and track lighting, pendant lighting as well as by portable floor and desk lamps. 3. Accent: adds drama to a room by creating visual interest. As part of an interior design scheme, it is used to draw the eye to houseplants, paintings, sculptures and other prized possessions. To be effective, accent lighting requires as least three times as much light on the focal point as the general lighting surrounding it.
