2. Diffuse illumination: There are two types of light sources: exposed and covered, and the light diffuses around to form a flood effect. The indoor light environment is soft and easy to maintain, but the actual application is gradually reduced. The main reason is that the light source may cause glare, and the cover-type lamps and lanterns have low light transmittance. Especially for some job sites and work places that require high light, learning sites should not use this type of lighting.

3. Emergency lighting: In the hotel and tooling design is the lighting used in normal lighting failure, including evacuation lighting and spare lighting.

Third, decorative lighting

Lighting has the effect of stimulating and influencing people's emotions, adjusting indoor atmosphere and shaping personality. The artistic performance of the indoor space can not be separated from the lighting, especially the decorative lighting is the main method of deconstructing the space environment. No matter where it is, the illumination of the night will bring infinite comfort and spiritual inspiration. When you enter the hotel lobby or restaurant, you will be attracted by those brilliant lights. Whether it is the luxurious lamps or the varied decorative lighting, it embodies the individuality of a hotel's design intent and place. Even at home, decorative lighting will create a warm and comfortable environment for you, a kind of ease brought about by lighting creativity, so that people's whole voice has been eased.

From this point of view, decorative lighting focuses on the regulation of human emotions and creates an ideal indoor environment through the organization and changes of light.
