indoor lighting

Bulbs inside buildings

Indoor lighting refers to artificial light sources used inside buildings—lamps, overhead fixtures, recessed lights, and the like.

The term distinguishes these from natural light (windows, skylights) and outdoor lighting.

Interior designers and architects often treat indoor lighting as having three components: ambient (general illumination), task (focused work light), and accent (highlighting features).
