Planning a Lighting Upgrade? Here’s What You Need to Know About Types of Lighting

August 18, 2025

From statement-making chandeliers to practical flush mounts, the type of lighting you choose can make a big difference in how a space feels and functions. At Babcon Electric, we install all types of lighting for both residential and commercial spaces safely and professionally.

Check out this list of common lighting types and where they work best:


Flush Mount Lights – Sit on the ceiling or wall with little to no space, perfect for rooms with lower ceilings, like hallways, closets, and bathrooms.

Semi-Flush Mounts – Part of the fixture is attached to the ceiling and part of it hangs down. These add extra style in areas like kitchens and entryways.

Chandeliers – Make a bold statement in foyers, dining rooms, or commercial lobbies.

Pendant Lights – A popular choice for kitchen islands, bars, or reception areas.

Recessed Lighting – Installed into the ceiling and ideal for clean, modern lighting in living rooms, conference rooms, or offices.

Track Lighting – Versatile and directional, often used in retail or gallery settings.

Under-Cabinet Lighting – Adds functionality and ambiance to kitchens or workspaces.

Landscape & Exterior Lighting – Boosts curb appeal and safety for homes, schools, and businesses alike.
