light has four specific duties: • decorative • accent • task • ambient • no single light source can perform all functions of lighting for a given space
Light should be “layered”: a number of light sources should be blended together in order to create a comfortable, inviting environment this is the KEY to effective lighting design
participation activity: classroom light analysis directions: …Look around the classroom. Identify each of the types of lighting used in the space and list them according to category. …Answer the question: According to your current knowledge of lighting, what are the strengths of the classroom’s lighting plan and what are its weaknesses? …Campus Critique—now visit two other places on campus(one good, one bad) and complete an analysis for each
decorative: • used to create the “sparkle” for a room • examples: chandeliers, sconces, table lamps • in the best designs, decorative light sources only create the illusion of providing a room’s illumination • translucent vs. opaque shades

accent: • directed illumination that highlights objects within an environment • examples: track, recessed adjustable fixtures • used to highlight art, sculpture, tabletops, plants, etc… • if you only use accent light, you get the museum effect • thrives on subtlety • want to see the effect, not how it is created

task: • illumination for performing work-related activities, such as reading, cutting vegetables or sorting laundry • optimally located between your head and the work surface • table lamps—reading • fluorescent—for working • under counter fixture mount best for kitchens

ambient: • the soft, general illumination that fills the volume of a room with a glow of light • most important of the four functions • often left out of design of a room or space • best ambient light comes from sources that bounce illumination off of ceiling & walls • provides a subtle general illumination without drawing attention to them • examples: indirect wall sconces, torcheres, indirect pendants, cove lighting
ambient: • the soft, general illumination that fills the volume of a room with a glow of light • should not be used alone—“cloudy day effect”—everything in the space seems to have the same value, without any depth or dimension
