                            UNDERSTANDING LIGHTS IN BLENDER

                  Lighting is a crucial aspect of 3D rendering in Blender, as it affects
                  the appearance, shadows, and overall mood of a scene. Different
                  types of lights help achieve specific effects, making the scene look
                  more realistic or stylised.

                  When you  open a new  Blender project,  a default  Point  Light is
                  included in the scene. This light emits illumination in all directions
                  from a single point, similar to a regular light bulb.


                  SWITCHING TO RENDERED MODE

                  To see how the lighting affects your scene, you need to switch to Rendered Mode:

                  To Change to Rendered Mode, follow these steps:
                  Step  1   Locate the Viewport Shading Menu in the top-right corner of the 3D Viewport, and click
                          on the Solid Cube Icon (Rendered Viewport Shading) to enable real-time lighting and
                          material previews.

                          OR

                  Step  1  Press Z on your keyboard.
                  Step  2  Select Rendered from the shading options.


                  CHANGING THE LIGHT TYPE

                  Blender allows you to change the default Point Light to other types for different lighting effects.


                  Types of Lights
                  Blender provides following types of lights:

                      Point Light: Emits light evenly in all directions from a single point.
