WHAT DOES LIGHTING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

lighting

Lighting

Lighting or illumination is the deliberate use of light to achieve a practical or aesthetic effect. Lighting includes the use of both artificial light sources like lamps and light fixtures, as well as natural illumination by capturing daylight. Daylighting is sometimes used as the main source of light during daytime in buildings. This can save energy in place of using artificial lighting, which represents a major component of energy consumption in buildings. Proper lighting can enhance task performance, improve the appearance of an area, or have positive psychological effects on occupants. Indoor lighting is usually accomplished using light fixtures, and is a key part of interior design. Lighting can also be an intrinsic component of landscape projects.

Definition of lighting in the English dictionary

The first definition of lighting in the dictionary is the act or quality of illumination or ignition. Other definition of lighting is the apparatus for supplying artificial light effects to a stage, film, or television set. Lighting is also the distribution of light on an object or figure, as in painting, photography, etc.
