A
light fixture is also known as a luminaire. There are many different
styles of light fixtures. How they are installed, how they function,
or what type of lamps they utilize are a few ways in which they are
classified.
Here are some different types of light fixtures:
•Pendant light - A light fixture which hangs from the ceiling.
•Free-standing lights - These include table lamps and office task
lights.
•Indirect light - Light is bounced off a ceiling or wall to illuminate
a larger area.
•Pathway lighting - Outdoor lighting fixtures which illuminate
walkways near ground level.
Along with all the different types of light fixtures, there are also
different types of light fixture controls. Most people are familiar
with a basic on/off switch. Some lighting systems use dimmers which
allow for high and low levels of brightness as well as everything in
between. Other controls are set on timers or respond to touch or movement.
