Direct lighting

As a direct lighting If you refer to every light that directly in the Space Or is geared towards a work surface to ensure brightness. It is therefore the opposite of indirect light, which is often used as a supplement to the direct. The direct lighting serves all activities or areas in which details are important and you want to see them exactly. 

A good example of this is desk lamps, as they have the task of illuminating the work surface sufficiently and usually shine directly. The properties of direct light are the generation of shadows on bodies and surfaces in order to make their structures and shapes clear. The indirect light, on the other hand, hardly throws shadows and does not radiate directly on an object, but is reflected from the wall or ceiling of the room. In order to ultimately have direct light for visual tasks with optimal brightness as well as indirect light for more cosiness and a pleasant mood, both types of lighting are very popular - the mixture does it. 

In addition to enabling complex visual tasks, direct light also manages to put certain objects in the foreground. This gives more attention to this, which is why direct lighting in museums is just as suitable as in your own garden to highlight trees, shrubs or flowers.
