the timing of this article couldn't be more perfect... I was literally telling my friend the yesterday how lighting is a huge component of a room but unfortunately I know nothing about lighthing and needed tips... great article!

Fantastic explanation.  And let me tell you, you really got my attention by associating the lesson with food.  You can pretty much teach me anything if you compare it to chocolate.  It's very sad but I exist in only ambient.  2 table lamps to a room.  Gotta get some icing, er I mean lighting.

Great tutorial, but now I'm craving cake! Thanks, very helpful.

Whow, really good info - thanks for putting this together.
