• By using a diffusion device; which is a device that is placed in front of a lighting instrument to reduce and soften the intensity of light without altering the color temperature.

• By using a dimmer; which is a device attached to the power control of a lighting instrument that can reduce or increase the amount of electricity that flows to the lamp.
