Lighting function

               There are three lighting groups you need to consider when
               lighting a room. Using all three will not only give you a great
               overall effect but will provide flexibility to perform the wide
               range of functions the room may need to accommodate. This
               is especially important in kitchens. The change from a bright,
               energetic light for daytime tasks, to a relaxed space after
               work and through to an intimate atmosphere for evening
               dining should be seamless and effortless.
