	Artificial light is generally easily manipulated to achieve the required lighting outcome. The light can be increased or decreased, directed, focused and coloured. This allows lighting to create a range of effects according to the requirements of a space.		Artificial light is generally easily manipulated to achieve the required lighting outcome.
