Types of Indirect Lighting



Indirect lighting is used to provide subtle, dramatic and ambient lighting around a room. The lamps are sometimes hidden, and give a soft shadowless illumination. It is used to highlight specific objects, for example-

Indoor plant lights -

Indoor Plant Lights

Used in the planter to illuminate the plants.

Spot lights-

Flexible Halogen Uplight in Brushed Nickel

Spot lights can be used to light up corners and placed behind plants, which would give an interesting shadow on the ceiling.

Picture lights-

House of Troy Polished Brass Picture Light - 8

Are placed over pictures to illuminate them. Recessed wall washers can also be used to high light pictures, but picture lights are an easier solution.

Indirect lighting can also be used to light cabinets, bars and bookcases, for example.

Under cabinet lighting-

Can add light to the shadowy spaces in the kitchen.
