Like manufacturing process of other instruments designing of lighting system is entirely dependent on various steps like specific principles of science, various cultural and human factors, specific codes of conduct and others in crafty approach (Stork & Mathers, 2009).

During the past few years, the profession of lighting development is facing obstacles from two well-known forces that is efficiency of lighting and quality of lighting products. Quality of lighting products and its efficiency is the major issue from the time of its emergence particularly in lighting of building, space objects, and others (Pansini & Smalling, 2006). However, in recent years lighting professionals have found some hope in elimination of these problems because of continuous enhancement in lighting technology, moderate education in the field of lighting, increasing customer support and others.

Manufacturing of lighting project is initially dependent on the needs and requirements of specific clients. However, the general requirements of residential and commercial clients are listed below under different sections.

Fluorescent lighting system is normally used in residential purposes and it generally comprises of four sizes t-12, t-8, t-5, and t-2. T-12 size is considered an obsolete and is not being prescribed, where as t-8 is used in manufacturing of lamps that are normally used for residential purposes, similarly t-2 and t-5 are used in lighting the cabinets and other internal design of the residents. In addition to this, fluorescent lights are manufactured by keeping in mind the colour contrast and temperature (Malman, 2005).

Lighting system using innovative technologies like LED's and fibber optics that are normally used for decoration of interior designing, used in traffic signals, are used in festivals, generally used by residential for their bathrooms and kitchens.
