Lighting Design Is A Process. It Is The Process Of Integrating
Light Into The Fabric Of Architecture. Regardless Of The
Space To Be Lighted- A Bank, A Church, An Office, A
Gallery, A Restaurant, A Store, A Classroom- And
Regardless Of The Light Sources Available For Use, The
Process Is Always The Same. A Common Mistake When
Providing Light For Buildings Is To Select The Lighting
Equipment First. Selecting Luminaires Is The Last Step In
The Process. What Is Important Is Not What Makes The
Light, But Which Objects And Surfaces Receive It.
LIGHTING DESIGN
10. Lighting Design
Color Temperature. Describes How A Lamp Appears
When Lighted. Color Temperature Is Measured In
Kelvin (K), A Scale That’s Starts Absolute Zero (-
273”c).
Incandescent Lamps Used In Architectural Lighting
Have Color Temperatures In The 2600 K To 3100 K
Range; Fluorescent Lamps Are Available With
Apparent Color Temperature From 2700 K To 7500
K.
CORRELATED COLOR TEMPERATURE (CCT)
11. Lighting Design
Expresses how colors appear under a given light
sources. The most accepted method to determine
the color- rendering ability of a light source is a
rating system called the color rendering index {cri}
The comparison is expressed as an RA factor, on a
scale of 1 to 100, which indicates how closely the
given light source matches the color rendering
ability of the reference light source.

Excessive Contrast Or Luminance Is Distracting And
Annoying. The Negative Side Of Brightness Is Called
Glare. In The Extreme, Glare Dripless Vision By
Reducing Or Destroying The Ability To See
Accurately. Glare Is Often Misunderstood As “Too
Much Light” It Is The Light Coming From The
Normal Field Of View.
Glare
Acceptable luminance values decrease as the source
approaches the center of the field
16. Lighting Design
Direct glare is caused by the lighting system; it is
defined as excessive light misdirected toward. The
eye usually, the uncontrolled luminance of an
exposed light source produces glare.

Lights are used above
aisles space in living
area
When overall lighting is not
sufficient for doing work,
then a lamp light can be given
19. Lighting Design
One is the limit the amount of light emitted in the direction of the eye. Shielding devices
such as the hand, used instinctively, and sun visors improve visibility and restore visual
comfort in this way.
THREE MAIN CONTROL TECHNIQUES FOR CONTROLLING GLARE
The Second Is To Increase The Area From Which Light Is Emitted. The White
Glass Globe And Diffusing Panels Of White Glass Or Plastic Are Example. .
Third Method Is More Efficient. It Use Accurate Control Devices To Redirect
Light In The Desired Direction- Typical Devices Are Reflectors And Refracting
Lenses That Limit The Distribution Of Stray Light Emitted Toward The Eye. .
20. Lighting Design
It Provide Shielding In One Direction, Along A Single Axis For Small Aperture Luminaires A
Baffle Around The Perimeter Provides Shielding From All Directions.
BAFFLES
These Are A Series Of Baffles Or Shielding Elements Placed In A Geometric
Pattern To Provide Shielding From Many Directions With Minimum Interference
To The Desired Beam Distribution.
Louvers
21. Lighting Design
The principal difference between glare and sparkle is the relationship between the area
and magnitude of luminance in the field of view. Large areas of luminance are distracting
and disconnecting; relatively small areas of similar or higher intensity are points of sparkle
and highlight that contribute to emotional excitement and visual interest.
Sparkle
• Direct sparkle : Examples Include Christmas Tree Lights,
Small, Exposed, Clear Filaments Lamps, And Perforated
Shielding Materials.
• Reflected sparkle : Examples Include Textured Metal And
Pebbled Surfaces Finishes.
• Transmitted sparkle : Examples
Include crystal chandeliers and
sandblasted or etched –glass
(frosted) diffusers around clear
filament lamps.
22. Lighting Design
A Principal Characteristics Of Daylight Is It
Variability The Color Of Daylight Changes With
The Time Of Day, The Cleanliness Of The
Atmosphere And The Interreflection Of
Surrounding Objects. The Intensity Of The Sun
Changes With The Time Of Day, The Time Of The
Year, And The Latitude Of The Site. The
Luminance Of The Sky Depends On Weather The
Light Is Coming From A Overcast Sky, From A Sky
Only Or From A Clear Sky And Direct Sunlight.
Daylight
• Sunlight Is The Directional Beam Emitted By The Sun.
• Skylight Is The Diffuse Reflection Of The Light From
Particles In The Atmosphere.
Daylight has two components : sunlight and skylight
23. Lighting Design
Window Size And Height Above The Work Surface Are
Factors In Daylighting Design Of Course. As The Window
Becomes Larger In Size, The Amount Of Daylight
Increases. But T5he Height Of The Window Is The More
Significant Factor.
Daylight Design
Fenestration Sections
Windows placed on a single side of the room are the usual method of fenestration. To achieve usual work surface ill luminance.
Throughout the room limit the depth of the room to twice the height from the floor to a full-room-width window head.
The higher the window opening. The deeper the daylight
can penetrate into the room and if it is high enough. It
may prevent exterior brightness from causing glare.
Windows placed on opposite sides double the feasible
room depth for daylighting. The opposite need only
occupy the upper part of the wall; the quantity of interior
light will be almost the same as if the window were full

When Building Use Glazing To Admit
Daylight. A Single Layer Of Ordinary Glass
Exposed To The Sun Also Admits Warning
Radiant Energy _Heat This Helps In Cold
Winter But Poses A Problem In Hot
Summers. If Building Are Properly
Designed To Use Daylight, They Reject
Most Of The Direct Light From The Sun Yet
Still Admit An Ample Supply Of Skylight.
Just As The Sunlight Can Be Controlled.
There Are Many Ways To Control The Sun
Radiant Heat. ORIENTATION Is a primary
method for managing solar heat radiation
because the sun strikes differently
oriented surfaces with widely varying
intensity. The size and placement of
glazed areas are also factors in capturing
the sun’s energy for a cold weather heat
gain.

Low-e Glass Stands For Low Emissivity
Glass. This Glass Has A Special Metal
Coating. Technically Known As A Low
Emissivity Or Low E. Coating
LOW EMISSIVITY GLASS
LOW - E GLASS HAS MANY ADVANTAGES:
• The Low - E Coating Reflects Heat Back To Its Source So It Helps Your Home Stay
Cooler On The Summer And Warmer In Winter.
• The Coating Won’t Scratch Off Because It Is Applied To The Inside Of The Glass .
• It Help Protects Against UV Fading Of Any Near By Furniture.
• It Requires No Special Cleaning.
LOW – E GLASS, HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The radiation coming from your heating
system and your furniture and furnishings
is long wave radiation. This type of
radiation should be contained in your
room as best as possible, while the
radiation from the sun should be shielded
and reflected back outside.
30. Lighting Design
Shading Devices Used On The Inside Of The Building Reflect Some Of The Radiant Heat Energy Back Outdoors, Reducing The
Energy Gain From The Sun By As Much As 60 To 70 Percent. Exterior Shading Devices Can Reduce That Energy Penetration Even
More – By 90 To 95 Percent.
SHADING DEVICES
MOVABLE CONTROLS STATIONARY CONTROLS
Fixed awnings and buildings overhangs serve to shade direct
sunlight and reduce glare through the upper area of windows.
They also reduce the daylight entering the room, decreasing the
illumination into the room.
Draperies, shades and screens are available with a wide
range of materials that very in their openness of weave
and surface reflectivity. They provide almost any desired
degree of light transmission or a complete blackout.

The Incandescent Lamp Is A Simple Device- Hot Wire (The Filament) Sealed In A Glass
Jar (The Bulb). An Electric Current Passing Through The Wire Heats It To Incandescence,
And The Wire Emits Light. The Filament Wire Diameter And Length Determine. The
Amount Of Electric Current Drawn By The Lamp Regulating Its Light Output.
INCANDESCENT LAMP
HOW AN INCANDESCENT BULB WORKS?
Lamp bulbs do not contain air because the incandescent
tungsten will react with the oxygen in the air and quickly
evaporate. Originally this was prevented by creating a
vacuum in the bulb with an inert condensation of
evaporated tungsten particles on the inner bulb wall.
Argon nitrogen, and krypton gases are used for this
purpose. this purpose (some incandescent lamps,
particularly those below 40 W, still use a vacuum.)
WHY THERE IS A NEED TO SWITCH OVER
INCANDESCENT BULB WITH LED’S?
The Problem With Incandescent Is You End Up Paying
More In Electricity Costs. Incandescent Are Inefficient –
90% Of The Energy Goes Toward Heat And Only 10%
Toward Light. Incandescent Also Don’t Last As Long As
Cfls And Led.
33. Lighting Design
The Family Of Large Lamps Contains About One Hundred Combinations Of Glass And
Quartz Bulb Shapes And Sizes. These Variations Are Designated By A Two- Part, One
Or More Letters, Indicates The Shape Of The Bulb; The Second Part , A Number ,
Indicates The Diameter Of The Bulb In Eights Of An Inch. For Example, An A19 Lamp
Is An Arbitrary Shaped Lamp That Is 19/8 Inches In Diameter.

34. Lighting Design
Incandescent lamps have a base at one end,
although some tubular lamps have bases at
both ends. All bases conduct current from the
electrical supply into the lamp.
Smaller lamps have smaller bases, including
bayonet, bipin, candelabra, intermediate,
miniature, mini candelabra (“ mini can”) twist
and lock (TAL) , and two pin bases, including
mogul screw and medium and mogul bipost
bases.
LAMP BASES
Lamp Efficacy Is The Ratio Of Light Produced (Measured In
Lumens (LM) To Electricity Consumed (Measured In Watts [W].
Lamp Life Is Measured In Hours (HRS).
35. Lighting Design
The Tungsten – Halogen Lamp (Or Halogen) Lamp Is An
Incandescent Lamp With A Selected Gas Of The
Halogen Family Seated Into It. The Lamp Burns, The
Halogen Gas Combines With Tungsten Molecules The
Sputter Off The Filament Deposits The Tungsten Back
On The Filament, Rather On The Bulb Wall. This Keeps
The Bulb Wall Clean And At The Same Time Builds Up
The Filament Wire To Compensate For The Evaporative
For The Evaporation Loss That Reduce Its Diameter,
Thus Maintaining Relatively Constant Wattage.
TUNGSTEN – HALOGEN LAMPS
ADVANTAGES
-Halogen Lamps Are Small, Lightweight
-Low Cost To Produce
-Longer Life Than A Conventional Incandescent
-Instant On To Full Brightness No Warm Up Time, And
Its Dimmable
DISADVANTAGES
-extremely hot (easily capable of causing severe burns
if the lamp is touched).
-explosion, the bulb is capable of blowing and sending
hot glass shards outward. A screen or layer of glass on
the outside of the lamp can protect users.
-not as efficient as HID lamps (metal halide and HPS
lamps
36. Lighting Design
In Electric Discharge Lamps Light Is Produced By The Passage Of An Electric Current Through A Vapor Or Gas, Rather Than Through
A Tungsten Wire As In Incandescent Lamps. The Light Production By Discharge Sources Its More Efficient Than The Electric Heating
Method Used In Filament Lamps.
DISCHARGE LAMPS
FLUORESCENT
A fluorescent lamp is a low – pressure mercury discharge
source. Its operation relies on an electrical are passing
between to cathodes, one at either end of a glass tube.
Fluorescent lamps require a ballast to provide the proper
starting voltage and regulated the lamp operating current.

Compact Fluorescent Lamps Provide High Efficacy. A CRI Of 82, And 10,000 To 20,000 Hrs. Lives In Single – Ended, Multi – Tube
Fluorescent Lamp. They Operate In The Preheat And Rapid Start Circuit Modes; Many Have A Starter Built Into The Lamp Base.
Compact Fluorescent Lamps Have Significantly Higher Lumen Output Per Unit Length Than Conventional Small Fluorescent Lamps.
COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS
ADVANTAGES:
While, Initially They Cost More. Cfls Use A Third Of The
Electricity And Last Up To 10 Times As Long As Incandescent
Bulbs, They Are Much Less Expensive Overall. You Will See A
Noticeable Change In Your Electricity Bills Once You Change
Over To Cfls.
DISADVANTAGES:
Cfls Are Not Suitable For Focused Or Spotlight Or Where
Narrow Beams Or Length Are Required. They Are Meant Only
For Ambient Light.

Reflection Is The Return Of Light From A Surface. It Occurs
When A Portion Of The Light Falling On The Surface Is Thrown
Back That Surface Just As A Ball Bounces Back From The Floor.
REFLECTION
TRANSMISSION
Transmission Of Light Through A Material Is Affected By Two
Things:
• The Reflection At Each Surface Of The Material And
• The Absorption And Redirection Within The Material.
A Smooth, Highly Polished Surface, Such
As A Mirror, Alters The Direction Of A
Beam Of Light Without Changing Its Form.
SPECULAR REFLECTION

MEASUREMENT OF LIGHT
Photometry Is The Science That Measures Light. Five Terms Are Commonly Used To Quantify Light: Intensity Flux, Illuminance,
Existence And Luminance.
INTENSITY Is The Light Emitted In A Specific Direction
By A Source. Properly Called Luminous Intensity And
Defined As Flux Per Solid Angle In A Given Direction, It
Is Measured In Candelas (Cd).
FLUX Is The Light Emitted In All Directions By A
Source It Is Measured In Lumens (LM).
ILLUMINANCE Is The Density Of Light At Any Given
Point On A Surface. It Is Measured In Foot Candles
(FC).
EXITANCE is the total quantity of light emitted,
reflected or transmitted in all directions from a
surface. It is measured in lumens per square foot
(Lm/Ft2).
LUMINANCE Is The Accepted Term For Light That Is
Reflected From A Surface In An Given Direction (Back
Toward The Eyes). It Is Measured In Candles Per
Square Foot (Cft2).
42. Lighting Design
SURFACE REFLECTANCE
Although Interior Spaces Are Not Light
Control Devices, Their Reflectance
Properties Are Fundamental To The
Lighting Design. The Quantity And
Direction Of Light Reflected From
These Surfaces. Affect Both The
Efficiency Of The Initial Light
Distribution And Our Perception Of
Surface Brightness.
Wall, Ceiling, And Floor Surfaces Are
Large – Area “Reflectors” That
Redistribute Light In The Room. High –
Reflectance Finishes, Such As White
And Off-white, Promote Maximum
Use Of The Available Light;
Increasingly Darker Finishes Intercept
And Absorb Increasingly Greater
Proportions Of The Light.
Room Surface Finishes Reflectance Are Obtained From The Manufactures Of
Paints, Wall Coverings, Ceiling Tiles, Floor Coverings, Furniture, And Machinery.

STEPS INVOLVED IN PLACING LIGHT SOURCE ON CEILING
Whether Providing Uniform Or Non
Uniform Lighting Organize Luminaires
In Pattern Based Upon An Invisible
Grid That Is Related To Architecture.
For Example, At 78ft – Long Room And
Luminaires With A Maximum Spacing
Of 10ft, The Solution Presented Is
Eight Equal Spaces Measured To The
Centre Line Of Each Luminaire.
To Quickly Assess The Potential Of A Down Light Luminaire To
Provide Uniform Illumination Of The Horizontal Plane, SC Is
The Centre – To – Centre Distance Between Luminaires
(Spacing) Based On Their Mounting Height Above The Work
Plane.
FORMULA FOR CALCULATING DISTANCE OF ONE LUMINAIRE
FORM ANOTHER
S = MH X SCPlacement Of
Luminaire Spacing
For Example, If The SC = 1.5, Then Then For An 8 – Ft. Ceiling
Height
MH = 8ft O In – 2 Ft. 6 In To The Work Plane = 5ft 6 In AFF
S = S.S Ft X 1.5 = 8.25 Ft

Lighting Design Is A Process Specially It Is The Process
Of Integrating Light Into The Fabric Of Architecture.
It Is The Designers Role To Simplify The Visual Process And The Environmental Background So That Distortions And Irrelevant
Clutter Are Minimized. The Goal Is To Reduce Distraction So That The Environment Assists Concentration And Conserves Our
Energy For The Demands Of More Productive Tasks And Activities.

LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED BULBS)
A Light – Emitting Diode (LED) Is A Two – Lead Semiconductor Light Source.
Early Leds Were Often Used As Indicator Lamps For Electronic Devices,
Replacing Small – Incandescent Bulbs. They Were Soon Packaged Into
Numeric Readouts In The Form Of Seven – Segment Displays And Were
Commonly Seen In Digital Colors.
WHAT ARE LEDS AND WHAT ARE THEY USED FOR?
Light – Emitting Diodes (LED) Are Semiconductors. As Electrons Pass
Through This Type Of Semiconductor, It Turns Into Light Compared To
Incandescent And CFL Bulbs, Led Bulbs Are More Efficient At Turning
Energy Into Light. Therefore, Less Of The Energy Radiant From The Bulbs
As Heat.
HOW DOES A LED BULB WORK?
Energy Efficient LED Lights Are Up To 80% More Efficient Than Traditional
Lighting Such As Fluorescent And Incandescent Light 95% Of The Energy In
Leds Is Converted Into Light And Only 5% Is Wasted As Heat. This Is
Compared To Fluorescent Light Which Convert 95% Of Energy To Heat And
Only 5% Into Light.
WHY IS IT BETTER TO USE LED LIGHT?
53. Lighting Design
COLOR TEMPERATURES OF LIGHT BULBS
Aside From The Light Bulb Itself, Use Kelvin Temperature Can Also Help Guide You In Determining Which Fixture Is Right For Each
Room. Whether You Need A Ambient Source Of Light Or One Of Highly- Focused Task Lighting, Keep In Mind The Following Kelvin
Ranges:
• Less Than 2000K: Gives Off A Dim Glow Of Light, Similar To What You Might Find From Candlelight; Beast For Low Light Areas
Where Ambient Illumination Is Welcomed.
• 2000k – 3000k: Gives Of A Soft White Glow, Often Yellow In Appearance; Best For Living Room, Dini9ng Room, Bedroom And
Outdoor Spaces.
• 31000k – 4500k: Gives A Bright Amount Of White Light; Best For Kitchen, Offices, Work Spaces And Vanities Where Task
Lighting Is Needed.

Degree of brightness contrast
Degree Of Brightness Contrast Establishes The Emotional Setting, Which Either Reinforces Or Under Ermines The Intended
Activity.
• The Degree Of Brightness Contrast Evokes Emotions In T5he Same Way As Background Music. It Effects The Performance Of
Tasks, Influence The Behaviour Of People At Work And At Play And Impacts The Amount Of Contentment And Pleasure We
Experience.
LOW CONTRAST ENVIRONMENT : HIGH CONTRAST ENVIRONMENT :
A Large Proportion Of Diffuse Light And Small
Amount Of Focused Light Produce This Low-
contrast Environment. Low-contrast Lighting
System Are Intended To Provide Easy Seeing For
Visual Task To Allow Random Circulation, Or To
Permit Flexible Relocation Of Work Surfaces.
A Small Proportion Of Diffuse Light And Large
Amount Of Focused Light Produce A High
Contrast Environment, High Contrast Lighting
Systems Render Patterns Of Light And Shade;
They Intentionally Establish A Hierarchy Between
Foreground And Background.

THE THREE ELEMENTS OF LIGHT
Ambient light, focal glow and sparkle
1. Ambient Luminescence :
Ambient Luminescence Is Shadow
Less Illumination It Minimizes
From A Bulk. It Dematerializes. It
Reduces The Importance Of Things
And People. It Fills People With A
Sense Of Freedom Of Space And
Suggested Infinity. It Is Usually
Reassuring And Restful.
2. Focal glow :
Focal Light Is Directive Creates A
Bright Centre; It Tells Us What To
Look At, Organizes Marks The
Most Important Element. It
Creates Sense Of Space; You Can
Organize Depth Through Of Focal
Centers
3. Sparkle:
Sparkle is scintillation it is ti8ny
microscope bombardment of
points of light – the most exciting
kind of light there is. It stimulates
and arouses appetites of all kinds:
chandeliers in dining rooms,
sequins lights on theatres.

THE THREE ELEMENTS OF LIGHT
Ambient light, focal glow and sparkle
Ambient lighting :
Also Called Generally Lighting, Ambient
Lighting Provides Overall Illumination
For A Room And Is Intended To Create
A Uniform Light Level Throughout A
Space, Independent Of Any Special
Lighting That May Be Needed In
Targeted Areas Of A Room. In Most
Home Settings, When A Person Steps,
Into A Room And Flips On A Switch,
Ambient Lighting Illuminates The
Space.
Task lighting :
Targeted To A Particular Area Of A
Room, Task Lighting Is Intended To
Illuminate A Specific Function. Areas
Of A Home That Require Task Lighting
Include Kitchen Counters Where Food
Will Be Prepared; Living Room Seating
Areas Where Reading Will Take Place;
And Home Office Desk Surface Where
Paperwork Will Be Done. In A Kitchen,
Under Cabinet Lighting Provides Task
Lighting For Countertop.
Accent lighting :
Also Called Highlighting, Accent Lighting
Draws Attention To A Particular Object
Such As Artwork, Sculptures, Plants, Or
Bookcases. Accent Light Is Often Used
Outdoors, To Highlight A Beautiful Tree,
Plant Or Water Feature, Or To Draw The
Eye To A Particular Area Of The
Landscape. Recessed Or Track Lighting Is
Often Used For Accent Lighting With
Adjustable Fitting That Allow Light To Be
Focused Precisely Even On A Small
Object.
57. Lighting Design
IMPRESSIONS OF SPACIOUSNESS
The impression of a room’s largeness or smallness is affected by the intensity and uniformity of lighting at the room perimeter
Overhead Down lighting, Low
Intensity
Peripheral Wall Lighting, All Walls. Overhead Diffuse Lighting, Low
Settings.
Combination: Overhead Down
Lighting + End Walls.
Overhead Diffuse Lighting High

BRIGHTNESS VERSUS LUMINANCE
Specifying The Direction And Distribution Of Light In A Space Yields The Desired Brightness Contrast.
• Brightness Is The Subjective Sensation That Occurs In The Consciousness Of A Human Observer. Luminance Is The Objective
Measurement Of Intensity Per Unit Of Objective Area.
DIRECTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF LIGHT
A Luminaire (Lighting Fixture) Emits Light In One Of Three Direction – Downward , Upward, Or Multidirectional – And In One Of
Two Distributions – Concentrated Or Diffuse
The Seven Directions And Distributions Of Light.
59. Lighting Design
1. Concentrated Downward Direct Lighting
Luminaires With Narrow Beam-spreads That Lack And
Upward Component Of Light Produce A Concentrated
Downward (Also Called Direct) Distribution. When Located
In Low Ceilings, Concentrated Downward Beams – With
Speeds Of 30° Or Less – Create Areas Of High
Luminance On The Floor With Dark Areas In
Between. To Avoid This Unevenness, Luminaires
Would Need To Be Placed Inordinately Close To
Each Other. Low Ceilings Require The Use Of
Diffuse Downward Luminaires.
Luminaires With Narrow Beam-spreads And A Downward
Distribution Produce Diffuse Downward (Direct) Light
.Diffuse Downward Beams – With Spreads From 80° To
120° - Offer A More Practical Light Distribution For
Many Purpose. This Greater Percentage Of Light At
Higher Angles Increase Incident Light On Vertical
Surface, Model Faces, And Reduce The
Concentration Of Brightness Within Spaces.
2. Diffuse Downward Direct Lighting
Concentrated downward direct Lighting
Diffuse downward direct Lighting
60. Lighting Design
3. Concentrated Upward Indirect Lighting
A Concentrated Upward (Indirect) Distribution Directs
Light Toward The Ceiling With Light Directed Upward And
Downward Component Removed, The Ceiling Becomes
Visually Prominent. It Also Becomes A Secondary Source
Because Of Its Reflective Properties. When Mounted In
Close Proximity To The Surface Being Lighted,
Concentrated Upward Beams Create Isolated Areas Of
High Luminance.
A Diffuse Upward (Indirect) Distribution Directs Light
Toward The Ceiling And The Upper Side Walls. This
Technique Is Used To Create Uniform Ceiling Luminance
For The Prevention Of Glare In Areas With Video Display
Terminals And To Emphasize Structural Form Of
Decorative Detail On Or Near The Ceiling Plane Because
Each Point On The Ceiling Reflects Light In Every Direction,
Diffuse Upward Distribution Produce A Flat, Low- Contrast
Environment The Reflected Light Reduces Contrast And
Shadow.
4. Diffuse Upward Indirect Lighting
Concentrated upward indirect Lighting
Diffuse upward indirect Lighting
61. Lighting Design
5. Direct Indirect Lighting
Luminaires That Deliver Both Direct And Indirect
Components Of Diffuse Light, But No Side Lighting Are
Called Direct/Indirect. They Provide Efficient Use Of Light
On Work Surfaces While Relieving Contrast By Reflecting
Light From The Ceiling Plane.
Multidirectional Distribution Created With Concentrated
Bean-spreads Is Called Multidirectional Concentrated. It
Also Called Semi Direct If 60% To 90% Of The Lumens
(Light Emanating From The Luminaire) Are Directed
Downward And Semi –Indirect If 60% To 90% Of The
Lumens Are Directed Upward. A Higher Contrast,
Nonuniform Brightness Condition Is Produced With
Concentrated Distribution Present In Both The Upward
And Downward Components.
6. Multidirectional Concentrated Lighting
Direct indirect Lighting
Multidirectional concentrate Lighting
62. Lighting Design
Multidirectional Diffuse (General Diffuse) Distribution Is
Produced By Luminaires That Deliver Both Upward And
Downward Components Of Light. These Luminaires Emit
Light In Several Directions At The Same Time – Toward The
Ceiling And Wall As Well As Toward The Floor. The
Reflected Light From The Ceiling And The Inter Reflection
Of Light In The Space Diffuse The Downward Distribution,
Reducing Shadow And Contrast And Creating A Uniform,
High Brightness Interior.
6. Multidirectional Diffuse Lighting
Multidirectional Diffuse Lighting
63. Lighting Design
Grazing Light Is Appropriate For Lighting Heavily
Textured Surfaces Such As Rough Plaster, Masonry, Or
Concrete. It Is Disastrous For “Flat” Walls Of Smooth
Plaster Or Gypsum Board, However, Because Such
Walls Are Not Truly Flat: Minor Surface Imperfections
Such As Trowel Marks Tape, And Nail-head Depressions
Are Magnified By The Shadows That Result From
Grazing Light.
THREE – DIMENSIONAL FORM
Diffuse Wash Light Reduces The Likelihood That
Surface Flaws Will Be Noticed And Strengthens An
Impression Of Surface Smoothness. This Is More
Suitable For A Gypsum Board Wall Or An Acoustical Tile
Ceiling. Diffuse Wash Light From The Front Is
Particularly Successful At Reducing Or Removing
Shadows And Small Variations In Brightness.

LUMINAIRES
Light Fixtures Are The Hardware Required To Hold And Operate Artificial Light Source; The Layout Of Light Fixtures Is Their
Arrangement In The Room.
TYPES OF LUMINAIRES
Luminaires Are The Fixtures That House Light.
They Greatly Affect Both The Brightness And
The Spatial Distribution Of The Light, Because
They Bounce Andor Filter The Light From Their
Lamps, For Different Effects. Types Of
Luminaries Are Generally Categorized By Their
Light Distribution. Some Common Distribution.
Are Show Below: Direct , Semi-direct, And
Direct – Indirect.
66. Lighting Design
GLARE
Glare Is Experienced, When Lamps, Windows, Luminaires, Other Areas Are Brightness In The Environment. Glare May Be Direct
And Reflected. Direct Glare Results From Bright Luminaire In The Field Of Vision. Reflected Glare Arises Due To Reflection Of Such
A Source From A Glossy Surface It Is More Annoying Than Direct Glare Can Be Avoided By Appropriate Choice Of Interiors.
Glare Control
Sometimes The Lens Or Reflected That Is Providing The Light Control Is Also Used To Achieve Concurrent Glare Control And Lamp
Concealment. At Other Times Separate Elements Are Used.
SOME WAYS TO CONTROL GLARE ARE LISTEN BELOW AND SOME ON THE NEXT PAGES:

Energy Effective Lights Methods, Such As
Recessed Down Lighting Systems.
68. Lighting Design
When Space Constraints, Limit The Cove Limit The Cove Design So That The Source Is Located To Close To The Adjacent Wall And
Ceiling, These Surface Will Appear Excessively Bright. Shields Can Be Incorporated It The Cove Design To Intercept Some Of The
Light And Prevent It Form Reaching The Upper Wall.

Lighting layouts:
Given the wide choice of
different lamps and
luminaires available, there
is an almost infinite set of
different arrangements of
electric lights within a
room that will provide a
certain illumination level.
The primary concern in
lighting layout is avoid
glare on activity surfaces.
Such glare is a result of
light bouncing directly into
user’s eyes. Rather than
diffusely.
70. Lighting Design
Other lighting source where we have to control glare:
Mount Pendants Or Chandeliers 27 To 36 Inches
Above A Table. Pendants With Translucent Shades
Provide Ambient As Well As Task Lighting.
Whether Coming From A Desk Lamp, On Overhead
Fixture, On From Under A Wall Cabinet, Lighting For
Desk Work Should Come From The Side Or From
Slightly Behind A Worker. Lighting In Front Will Couse
Glare.
71. Lighting Design
Other lighting source where we have to control glare:
Scones Are Often Placed In Pairs At About 66 Inches
High To Provide Soft Direct And Indirect Lighting To
Living Areas And Hallways.
To Light Artwork On A Wall, Use Track Lighting Or
Adjustable Recessed Fixtures, Such As “Eyeballs” Locate The
Fixture At A 30-degree Angle To The Artwork. For Large
Work Or Multiple Pictures, Use Multiple Fixtures Spaced
Apart By The Same Distance As They Lie From The Wall.

Tips From The Experts
OVER KITCHEN ISLAND: Fixtures Should
Be Spaced At Least 30°apart Equidistant
From The Centre Of The Island
Leave 30°-36° Between The Bottom
Of The Fixture And The Surface Of
The Island.
BATH VANITY: To Best Illuminate A
Bathroom Mirror, Scones Should Be
Mounted Just Above Eye Level, Which Is
Approximately 60°-65° From The
Floor To Centre Of The Baseplate.
OVER A DINING TABLE: Be Sure
The Which Of The Fixture Is At
Least 6” Less Than Width Of The
Table In All Sides. Leave 30°-
36between The Bottom Of The
Fixture And Surface Of The Table.
73. Lighting Design
Tips From The Experts
BESIDE THE BED : If A Bedside Sconce Has
A Switch, Consider Leaving Approximately
55°-60° From The Floor To The Top
Of The Fixture So It May Be Easily
Reached From A Sitting Position In
The Bed.
IN AN ENTRY OR HALLWAY: Hanging
Fixtures In An Entry A Hallway Should
Comfortably Clear Thresholds And The
Heads Of Family Members Leave A
Minimum Of 7” Between The Floor And
The Fixture.
OVER A FRAME: As A Rule Of
Thumb, The Width Of A Picture
Light Should Measure 12 The
Width Of The Frame It Will
Illuminate. Consider Using Two
Evenly Spaced Picture Lights Above
Extra-wide Framers.
74. Lighting Design
We Recommend Leaving 30°-36°
Between The Bottom Of Your Fixture
And The Surface Of Your Island.
When Installing Multiple Hanging
Lights Over An Island, The Widest
Part Of The Fixtures Should Be
Spaced At Least 30° Apart.
The Key To Sizing An Elongated Light
Fixture Is Proportion. We Recommend
Selecting A Light Measuring No More
Than 23 The Length Of The Table Or
Island. Consider Hanging Pair Of Linear
Fixtures To Extra Long Surfaces.
Be Sure The Which Of The Fixture
Is At Least 6” Less Than Width Of
The Table In All Sides. Leave 30°-
36between The Bottom Of The
Fixture And Surface Of The Table.
75. Lighting Design
We Recommend Leaving Approximately
30°-36° Between The Bottom Of
Your Fixture And Surface Of Your
Table. Choose A Fixture With A
Width Measuring Between 12 And
34 The Diameter Of A Round
Table.
Hanging Fixtures In Entries Or Hallway
Should Comfortably Clear The
Thresholds Of Any Adjacent Doors And
The Heads Of All Family Members !
Leave A Minimum Of 7’ From The Floor
To The Bottom Of The Fixture And 4’
From The Widest Part Of The Fixture To
Any Surroundings Wall.
Consider Two-tiered Chandeliers For
Ceilings 10ft. Or Taller. Many Of Our
Hanging Fixtures Ship With An
Additional 6 Feet Of Chain (It Will Be
Noted In Dimensions On Our
Website) Of May Be Altered To A
Custom Overall Height If More Or
Less Lengthy Is Needed.
