Lighting can generally be divided into the following four types:

1. Direct lighting: This type of lighting shines a light source directly onto the area that needs to be illuminated, typically providing intense light. Common examples include pendant lights, table lamps, and wall sconces. Direct lighting is suitable for locations where high brightness is required, such as classrooms, offices, and workplaces.

2. Indirect lighting: Indirect lighting creates a soft light by reflecting off the wall or ceiling, avoiding the glare of direct light sources. This type of lighting creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere and is suitable for rest areas and home environments.

3. Spot lighting: Spot lighting focuses on a specific area or object, providing more intense light to meet specific needs. Examples include reading lamps, desk lamps, and spotlights. Spot lighting is suitable for activities that require concentration, such as reading, drawing, or crafting.

4. Ambient lighting: Ambient lighting aims to provide an overall ambient glow and create a comfortable atmosphere. It is typically achieved through a combination of light sources, including natural and artificial light. Ambient lighting is suitable for social settings, leisure venues, and public areas.

These four lighting types can be combined according to specific needs and the functions of the venue to achieve the best lighting effect.
