Direct and indirect light, the best combination for a house.
A lighting project goes beyond the aesthetic finish and the harmony with the interior design of the house. The functionality of light is something essential for those of us who work designing lighting projects. That is why it is important and increasingly common to hire studios specialized in lighting design. Renowned architects, interior designers and decorators come to our studio located in Palma de Mallorca looking for the solution that adds the best light to their project.
More recently, electrical installers are noticing an increased demand for global projects in which decorative and technological solutions are included in their installations. Therefore, World Light Estudio becomes a great ally for them.
What we know as the creation of environments, or scenes, for the lighting designer is nothing more than thinking about how the user is going to live. To do this, we imagine different situations that may occur in the home and, consequently, we play with different lighting characteristics to reinforce these scenes. Aspects such as power, optics, the possibility of regulation, the finishes on which the light will affect, as well as the light distribution not only help us to achieve functionality, but also comfort, for every moment.
Some examples of combination of direct and indirect light can be found in bedrooms, where we resort to more or less conventional recessed lighting (depending on the design criteria) and, in addition, we propose recessed or any backlighting that helps us to provide that effect of rest that the user wants to be in the room at night. These and many others are the kind of scenarios that challenge our creativity on a daily basis.
What is direct light?
Direct light is light that falls directly and unobstructed on an object, surface or room. Although it provides greater light output, it is important to know that it can generate greater glare. Therefore, its use is recommended only when necessary. In kitchens and bathrooms it is usually a place where there must be direct points of light. Also to highlight objects, products or pieces of art.

What is indirect light?
Indirect light is that which does not fall directly but acts with bouncing or focusing towards the ceiling, giving a more general and diffuse light.

As a conclusion we will tell you that direct light is nothing without indirect light and vice versa, that is to say that both types of light become a perfect and necessary combination.
