Types of lighting
When building a lighting system, it is important to pay attention to several key factors. First, the type of lighting should be appropriately selected for a given application, taking into account energy efficiency, aesthetics and ergonomics. Secondly, it is necessary to properly place and connect lighting fixtures and check electrical wiring to avoid overloading the system. In addition, safety issues such as the use of appropriate surge and fire protection measures should also be taken into account.
Types of lighting installations
There are several different types of lighting installations, each with their own specific uses and features. Here are some of the most popular types:
- General installations: These are basic lighting installations that provide general lighting in rooms. These may be ceiling fluorescent lamps, LED bulbs mounted on the ceiling or walls, or other publicly available light sources that evenly disperse light in the room.
- Spotlight installations: This type of lighting installation focuses on illuminating specific areas or objects. These may be spotlights, wall lamps, table lamps or other light sources. They focus on specific places, such as reading zones, pictures on the walls or decorative elements in the room.

- Outdoor installations: street lamps, garden spotlights, lighting for building facades or lighting for outdoor use in residential buildings. These installations must be weatherproof and provide adequate lighting in outdoor spaces.
Types of industrial installations

Typically, large industrial lamps are used, such as high-efficiency LED lamps, which can withstand industrial conditions and provide bright and even light over large areas.
- Lighting of logistics areas: In warehouses and distribution centers there is a need to illuminate storage, loading and unloading areas. Lighting installations of this type are adapted to specific environmental conditions, such as large temperature differences, humidity and the presence of dust. High intensity lamps are often used to provide good lighting in logistics areas.

Lighting installations are optimized to minimize glare and ensure appropriate contrast. As a result, employees can perform their tasks without problems.
