Before you purchase the light fixtures, below information, is must to know about lighting.

In General, Lightings are of three types- Ambient Light / Task Light / Accent Light.

Ambient Light: It is the main source of lighting for any room, offenly from Overhead fixtures such as recessed lighting or downlighters. It serves the basic

need of illuminating the room. The amount of ambient lighting for your room is mostly decided by home design Contractor.

The Light output is measured in Lumens it is denoted as “lm” which is more important in shopping of lighting fixtures, you need to Compare Lumens, Not Watts to be sure you're getting the amount of light, or level of brightness, you want.

The most people presume that they buy lights based on how much energy they consume (Watts) — no matter how much light they give us (Lumens) which is wrong.

“Since higher the Lumens per watt higher will be the brightness of light”.
