Finally it’s  mid-week and I know a lot of us just can’t wait for it to be Friday… Yes I am very sure of that, just be patient it will be here soon.
Today let’s just go through these basic tips on how to go about placing lightings in the house.

Lighting is an important part of the home and you should take utmost care for the lights you arrange in a room.
Lighting fixtures come in a wide variety of styles for various functions. The most important functions are as a holder for the light source, to provide directed light and to avoid visual glare. Some are very plain and functional, while some are pieces of art in themselves.
When lighting up your house here are a few points to put into consideration:

DOWNLIGHTING

This is most common with fixtures on or recessed in the ceiling casting light downward. This tends to be the most used method used in both offices and homes. Although it is easy to design, it has dramatic problems with glare and excess energy consumption due to large number of fittings. The introduction of LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting has greatly improved this by approx. 90% when compared to a halogen down light or spotlight. LED lamps or bulbs are now available to fit in place of high energy consumption lamps.

UPLIGHTING

It is commonly used in lighting applications that require minimal glare and uniform general luminance levels. Up lighting (indirect) uses a diffuse surface to reflect light in a space and can minimize disabling glare on computer displays and other dark glossy surfaces. It gives a more uniform presentation of the light output in operation.

FRONT/BACK LIGHTING

This is also quite common, but tends to make the subject look flat as it casts almost no visible shadows. Back lighting either around or through an object is mainly for accent (highlighting).
Also, when you want to purchase your lighting fixtures it is important to put into consideration the following factors:

COST SAVING/ AFFORDABILITY OF LIGHTS

Sometimes it is better to buy lighting fixtures which are affordable than trying to follow trend, which might cost above your budget.
POWER EFFECTIVE
Buy those lighting fixtures which save power rather than those which consume more energy and look unpleasant.
HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT
Good lighting system boosts up your mood. Beyond the energy factors being considered, it is important not to over-design illumination, lest adverse health effects such as headache frequency, stress, and increased blood pressure which can be induced by the higher lighting levels. In addition, glare or excess light can decrease work efficiency.
With these few points you will be able to know what kind of lightings to fix at the right places.

Do have a splendid day.
