Focus on Task Lighting: Light and Function
This article is also available in French: Zoom sur l'Éclairage de Tâche: Lumière et Fonction

Task lighting focuses on specific activities, clearly illuminating the necessary space - whether next to a chair, above a table, or in a cozy corner. It is ideal for performing tasks that require brighter light to see clearly.

For specific activities in the living room, various types of lamps are used:
- Table lamps, perfect next to an armchair, a sofa, or in a corner of the room.
- Reading lamps, ideal next to an armchair or a sofa.
- Desk lamps, useful on a desk for working with paperwork.
- Lamps specifically designed for hobbies and crafts.
- Full-spectrum lamps, excellent for reading or craft activities near an armchair.
- Small pendants or hanging lamps, placed above a relaxation area.
- Lamps with an articulated arm and wall lights, which can extend near a chair or table.
- Piano lamps or banker’s lamps, which cast direct light downward onto a piano or keyboard.
