ambient light conditions

Ambient light refers to the natural or existing light present in a space or environment, excluding any direct or artificial light sources. It includes daylight streaming through windows or the general glow of surrounding lighting, creating a background illumination level. These conditions affect how we perceive colors and details, influencing comfort and visibility. For example, bright sunlight produces high ambient light, while a softly lit room has lower levels. Understanding ambient light helps optimize lighting choices for both functionality and ambiance, ensuring environments are comfortable and visually effective.
