DAY 2
Subject: Lighting Techniques of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel
Requirements: Need a CAMERA and/or sketch pad, drinking water, comfortable shoes
DUE DATE:
BRING TO CLASS ON DAY 8
INTRODUCTION
In order for someone to be a lighting designer, they have to be able to understand and
communicate the concepts and effects of lighting. They should be able to describe techniques,
communicate ideas, and illustrate design in a way that is communicative. We have discussed how
the eye works, how light interacts with surfaces, the elements of color, and the effects of shadows.
You have a solid understanding of the EFFECTS OF LIGHT. In order to illustrate your new found
knowledge, you are going to visit a fantastic hotel lobby that has a multitude of lighting effects
throughout the space. You will visit the hotel, take pictures, draw sketches and take notes of every
effect in the Main Lobby of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, Anaheim, CA. (Note: I have visited the
space and counted the number of fixtures types in the space and you WILL be graded on the
number of effects you find.)
When you make your visit, expect to spend 2-3 hours there in the lobby. Find a comfortable chair
and sit. Walk around, sketch, take notes, and take photos. Take notice of people in the space. How
do they use it? How do they respond? What are their activities? Where do people congregate? Are
they gathering in bright areas? Dark areas? Where are you MOST comfortable? Does the lighting
help direct people? Where is the lighting HELPING the architectural design?
GOAL: To list and show ALL examples of the lighting technique and fixtures in the hotel lobby.
There are LIKELY 20 or so. Do NOT repeat examples, fixtures or techniques. Take 3-5 of the most
IMPORTANT or UNIQUE examples of lighting fixtures or techniques and show diagrams, or details,
or close up photos of the ideas. Provide a summary on the space and what you experienced.
Present all of these techniques and fixtures in a manner that is descriptive, clear and simple. Provide
summaries for each example.
Separate the examples by general lighting techniques (TASK, AMBIENT, DECORATIVE, ACCENT)
Draw a general floor plan and locate each of the techniques with a CIRCLED NUMBER or LETTER to
generally signify its location. Show just enough information on the plan to communicate entrance,
furniture, walkways, elevators, and special features as required.

INTD 200
REQUIREMENTS
1. Format: Tabloid Presentation format – 11x17
2. Field Observation: Visit this hotel and observe it, take notes, make sketches and take
photographs.
3. Photographs and/or Sketches: Take photos of the lighting effects. If you do not have access
to a camera, sketch each condition, clearly showing the example you are trying to document
or buy a disposable.
Note: Photographing interior spaces is very difficult. You may require a tripod and/or flash. Use
a WIDE ANGLE LENS IF POSSIBLE. Pay attention to reflective materials, as they need to be
photographed at an angle. Large spaces may not work with a flash. You may require a timed
expose. Take TWICE as many photos as you think you need and make sure there are different
distances, angles, etc. Be sure to take CLOSE UP photos (5-10ft away) of the techniques so you
don’t have too many design elements in one photograph. Area photographs can be used to
communicate MORE THAN ONE technique or fixture, but communicating this on paper will need
to be carefully addresses.
4. Narrative: Assemble your best photos of each example (only ONE photo per example) and
develop a description.
5. Evaluation: Provide some personal observation of the spaces in regards to the lighting
design and effects. Be specific about the quality of light, glare, reflections, visual comfort,
and how the space makes you feel. How people use the space. Refer to all of the EFFECTS
OF LIGHT we discussed and take note of fixture construction, mounting, connections, and
wiring where appropriate.
6. Summary: Please make a general statement about the project. Summarize the effects that
you have discovered and how they work as a whole.
7. Communication & Grammar: This report will be graded on ability to clearly describe your
ideas and your use of American English. Please RUN SPELL CHECK.
8. Format: The pages will be assembled in the following order:
(a) Coverpage
(b) Table of Contents
(c) Introduction & Summary
(d) Fixtures & Techniques

• Ambient
• Decorative

INTRODUCTION
CONTRAST
Contrast – when the appearance of one surface differs significantly from an adjacent surface.
Simultaneous Contrast – when the adjacency of TWO SETS of contrasting surfaces, affects the
apparent brightness of each other.
-Examples in Figure 2-9
Herman Grid Effect – in certain high contrast patterns, illusionary effects can occur at the
intersections.
-Examples in Figure 2-14, and 2-15
-Larger intersections have less effect
SHADOW
Types of shadow: texture, the sun, from yourself, subtle shadows, harsh shadows, attached
shadows, detached shadows, effects patterns
-Texture shadow – see figure 2-25
-Window shadows – see figure 2-11
Why is shadow important?
-Depth perception, distance perception, texture recognition
COLOR
What does everyone know about color?
-Hue (color), Chroma (saturation), Value (brightness)
-MIXING COLOR what do you get?
-Emotional responses to color
-Munsell Color System
-Simultaneous Contrast
-Shadows create different colors of the same material
-Afterimages
-Color Temperature – define
CRI (color rendering index)

PROJECT #2
Subject: Restaurant Lighting
Requirements: To create a lighting solution that responds to TADA! Include specific fixture data as
required to justify and support your design. Fixture images are not required, but
helpful.
Assignment: The client (John Fox of Fox Fine Dining) has asked you to create a lighting solution for
his restaurant. The design is in a schematic phase and we have yet to determine our
actual theme. We are awaiting financial approval from our lender and we must have a
design that they can review and approve before releasing the insurance coverage for
this project. This will be past around to a number of individuals, mostly people who
are not in the design industry. You must select a Theme and have it approved by the
client before proceeding. You may use art, manufacturers data, cutsheets, sketches
details and whatever you need to communicate your idea.
Theme Options: Mediterranean, Beach Californian, Asian, Nautical East Coast
Ceiling Heights: Note the drawings for clarifications.
Deliverables: Issue complete package on Tabloid Paper 11x17 format. Utilize Project #1 Titleblock
format in bottom right-hand corner as before. I would recommend assembling your
Sketches, Magazine cutouts, cutsheets and scan into the computer for assembly.
1. Coversheet
2. Table of Contents
3. Design Concept Summary (approx. 500 words)
4. TADA Summary
5. RCP plan; fixture locations, types, and zone circuiting
6. Choreography plan; showing vistas, flow, highlighting, compressions, darkness, etc.
7. Fixture Legend and Control Diagram
8. Fixture selections as required to support design concept
Presentation: This project must be ORALLY presented and will be graded partially for your delivery.
It would be good idea to discuss the design prior to your presentation with the
instructor to insure you have a good approach.

QUIZ #5 Name: ______________________
ID #: ____________
Time: 10 minutes
1. Describe the term inter-reflectance (1 point).
2. There are two types of LLF; RLLF and NRLLF. What does the R and the NR stand for (1 point)?
3. The lumen method is ONE type of calculation that is available for lighting designers. You can use Point-by-
point with Ray Tracing, typically utilized by computer programs such as AGI or LumenMicro for complex and
accurate calculations. You can use the Point Method which utilizes the MBCP of a lamp/fixture, or you can use
mockups and models to predict the lighting effects. The LUMEN METHOD is convenient and simple method of
calcuation, but it produces a single AVERAGE value (fc) which needs to be iterpreted. Based on the TADA
principle, which one of the four (4) layers does the Lumen Method address? (1 point)
4. What is the <blank> in the Lumen Method
formula described here? (1 point)
<blank> = _________________________
Total lamps x lumens/lamp x <blank> x LLF
E (fc) = total area (l x w)
5. What does RCR stand for and what else do you need to determine a space’s Coefficient of Utilization (2 points)?
6. To calculate the Illuminance (fc) on a surface from a reflectorized lamp (i.e. PAR lamp, MR-16 lamp, etc.), you
need to obtain the MBCP from a lamp catalog.
Utilizing the formula and the following info,
what is the maintained footcandles on the surface (2 points)?
Lamp:
75PAR38/SP10, 2500 hr life,
22,000 MBCP, 1050 lumens
Fixture: Recessed downlight
in ceiling 20ft AFF
Surface: Table, 3ft tall
NRLLF is 0.9 and RLLF is 0.9
