Dimmer switches provide the ability to adjust the brightness of lights depending on what mood you’re in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Task Lighting- Exactly what it sounds like, used to perform tasks like working at a desk or when you open your refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a few other categories of lighting that aren’t necessarily attached to the house such as a lighted sculpture or some other work of art. This is called ambient lighting and when used correctly,\u00a0 can also make a huge difference in the way that your house shows and the “vibe” people get when they’re in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Natural light provided by candles or a fireplace is light that constantly moves.
