So what is lighting?
Lighting includes both artificial lights sources such as lamps and natural illumination of interiors from daylight.
Daylighting (trough windows, skylights, etc.) is often used as the main source of lights during daytime in buildings given its low cost. Lighting represents a major component of energy consumption, accounting for a significant part of all energy consumed worldwide.
Artificial lighting is most commonly provided today by electric lights, but gas lighting, candles, or oil lamps were used in the past,
and still are used in certain situations. Proper lighting can enhance task performance or aesthetics, while there can be energy wastage
and adverse health effects of lighting.Indoor lighting is a form of fixture or furnishing, and a key part of interior design. Lighting can also be an
intrinsic component
of landscaping.
Lights fixture
Lighting fixtures come in a wide variety of styles for various lighting functions. Some are very plain and functional, while some are pieces
of art in themselves. Nearly any material can be used, so long as it can tolerate the heat and is in keeping with safety codes.
Proper selection of lighting fixtures is complicated by the requirement to minimize the veiling reflections off printed material.
Since the exact orientation of printed material may not be closed controlled, a visual comfort probability can be calculated for
a given set of lighting fixtures.
A demonstration of the effects of different kinds of lighting.
Lighting is classified by intended use as general lighting, localized lighting or task lighting, depending largely on the distribution of the
lights produced by the fixture.
* Task lighting is mainly functional and is usually the most concentrated, for purposes such as reading or inspection of materials. For example, reading poor-quality reproductions may require task lighting levels up to 1500 lux (150 footcandles), and some inspection tasks or surgical procedures require even higher
lighting levels.
* Accent lighting is mainly decorativelighting, intended to highlight pictures, plants, or other elements of interior design or landscaping.
* General lighting fills in between the two and is intended for general illumination of an area,
lighting. Indoors, this would be a basic lamp on a table or floor, or a lighting fixture on the ceiling. Outdoors, general lighting for a parking lot may be as low as 10-20 lux (1-2 footcandles) since pedestrians and motorists already used to the dark will need little lights for crossing the area.
Lighting Methods
* Downlighting is most common, with fixtures on or recessed in the ceiling casting lights downward. This tends to be the most used method, used in both offices and homes. Although it is easy to design it has dramatic problems with glare and excess energy consumption due to large number of fittings.
* Uplighting is less common, often used to bounce indirect lights off the ceiling and back down. It is commonly used in lighting applications that require minimal glare and uniform general illuminance levels. Uplighting (indirect) uses a diffuse surface to reflect lights in a space and can minimize disabling glare on computer displays and other dark glossy surfaces. It gives a more uniform presentation of the lights output in operation. However indirect lighting is completely reliant upon the reflectance value of the surface. While indirect lighting can create a diffused and shadow free light effect it can be regarded as an uneconomical lighting principal.
* Front lighting is also quite common, but tends to make the subject look flat as its casts almost no visible shadows. Lighting from the side is the less common, as it tends to produce glare near eye level. Backlighting either around or through an object is mainly for accent.
Wall-mounted light with shadows.Forms of lighting include alcove lighting, which like most other uplighting is indirect. This is often done with fluorescent lighting or rope lights, or occasionally with neon lighting. It is a form of backlighting.
