general lighting: lighting designed to provide a substantially uniform illuminance throughout an area, exclusive of any provision for special local requirementsaccent lighting: directional lighting to emphasize a particular object or to draw attention to a part of the field of viewdirectional lighting: illumination on the work-plane or on an object predominantly from a single direction.
