UNDERSTANDING LIGHTING DESIGN: HOW OPTICAL SYSTEMS INCREASE LUMINAIRE EFFICIENCY

摘要

Architectural lighting is a combination of art and science that creates a visually appealing, usable, and well lighted space. Lighting designers, architects, and engineers can create exceptional interior and exterior spaces through strategic placement of light. Calculated placement of appropriate luminaires can improve the aesthetics and functionality of a space. Well designed lighting plans can contribute to green building practices by incorporating energy-efficient and application-appropriate designs that help reduce electricity consumption and light pollution, while improving aesthetics and function. Lighting design focuses on three aspects of illumination - aesthetics, function, and efficiency.
