A lamp can emit light in two different ways, directional or diffuse.

-The directional light comes from lamps that emit a beam of light concentrated on a specific surface. These lamps usually have opaque and reflective screens, which makes the light concentrate.

-The diffused light on the contrary spreads evenly throughout the room, creating a light bubble that produces soft contrasts in dimly lit areas. It is achieved with translucent screens, glass, paper or fabric. This light, despite being very warm and pleasant, is not a light for a particular function. That’s why it should be combined with directional light. An example of warm diffused light is the beautiful «Moon at Home»
