Light is an essential part of our daily activities. Like
need air, water and food needed to survive in the light
to operate efficiently.
Gone are the days when people used to stop working after
sunset. The invention of electricity has made life easier and
has helped improve efficiency.
The use of light affects the indoor environment
and “humor” in the space. These are some
which may be considered at the same time interior space lighting.
1) Natural light:
The Sun is the largest source of available light on our planet.
We are all dependent on him. Sunlight is not only necessary to
function but is also responsible for biological balance of
Earth. Sunlight also keeps the air clean by killing any
attacks of bacteria can be harmful to health.
It is normally assumed that sunlight can penetrate
an area of about 7 feet (about 20 meters). If the
the architect has had proper care during planning of the
structure, then sunlight can be a very good source and free
light.
2) Fill artificial lighting:
These types of lights work on electricity and are required
most times at night. But this is not always true. There
are some locations where the weather is cloudy
for most months in a year.
In those moments the lights filling in the form of fluorescent tube
lights. These types of light are used to create the same
that would result in the sunlight. As the name suggests.
These types of lights “fill” the space evenly with light,
eliminating any dark spaces.
3) Special lighting for special spaces:
Special lighting is needed in places where it is necessary
to create a “mood” or special “atmosphere” within a space. To
achieve this use of color is done. Lighting fixtures as
spot lights are used to divert attention from the crowd
focused on certain areas.
Such techniques are also used in commercial showrooms,
to increase the importance of the exhibit areas. If you have
visited car shows, exhibition pavilions, you can see this
widely used type of lighting.
Special type of lighting requires more number of light fixtures,
because the area they cover is very limited.
4) Extreme lighting:
This type of lighting is used in places where the activities
have a special purpose, such as film studios, pubs, dance
floors, etc.. This lighting can be used movable type,
or may have more sophisticated controls such as intensity,
color, movement, controlled through the music time.
The discussion above shows, what happens within the
a space directly affect the type of lighting used within a space.
A properly planned lighting scheme can improve the quality
a space.
