  2. Natural Light • First light source to consider. • Sunlight that enters the house through windows, doors, skylights, etc. • North or East—Cool, bluish cast • South or West—Warm, orange tones

  3. Incandescent Light • Light bulb most people use. • Burns about 700-1000 hours. • Incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe makes light by heating a metal filament wire to a high temperature until it glows ...

  4. Fluorescent Lighting • Lasts up to ten times longer than an incandescent bulb. • Use less electricity and produce no damaging heat. • Not as homey and comfortable.

  5. Can save more than $40 in electricity costs over its lifetime Uses about 75% less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and lasts up to 10 times longer Produces about 75% less heat, so it's safer to operate and can cut energy costs associated with home cooling Compact Fluorescent Light

  6. Halogen Lighting • Lamp is kept brighter than incandescent bulbs. • Light is more similar to that of sunlight. • Bulbs burn whiter than incandescent bulbs. • Electricity heats this filament up to about 4,500 degrees F (2,500 degrees Celsius). Just like any hot metal, the tungsten gets "white hot" at that heat and emits a great deal of visible light in a process called incandescence

  7. Types of Lighting • General • Overall lighting. • Task • Lighting a small space to perform a specific task; reading, cooking, eating. • Accent/Decorative • Used to draw attention to specific areas or objects.
