What is task lighting?

Task lighting refers to lighting that is designed to illuminate specific work areas, such as a desk, kitchen countertop, or workbench. This type of lighting is typically brighter and more focused than ambient lighting, and is often adjustable or directional to help prevent eye strain and improve visibility during precision tasks. Task lighting can be provided by a variety of light sources, including desk lamps, under-cabinet lights, spotlights, and pendant lighting.
