You control the amount

You control the amount by beam spread, intensity and color or a combination of all three. This is wear dimmer switches really prove useful.

Ambient Lighting:

Is what you need to watch tv with or get around a room without having to turn on the main light. It gives off a soft glow or illumination and is the best light source for cutting out shadows and making a room look inviting. Another benefit is that people always look there best in this type of atmosphere. You can get this effect by using lights in valances, coves and under shelving. You can use track or rope lighting to also create this effect.

Decorative Lamps

:

These are used when you are looking for a home accent and not overly concerned about adding more light, tiffany style lamps and chandeliers are great for this. What they do is draw attention to themselves by their look and feel. In most cases they will have a very decorative lamp shade of stained glass or unusual fabric.

In all the above cases you want to have balance. Remember balance is achieved by layering. A bright light will create shadows across the room so you need to add another table lamp or pole lamp that has a lower watt bulb in it to counter act the shadows.
