Lighting controls - who controls the lights?: What does technological change mean for the development of lighting design concepts

摘要

An adaptive lighting climate or dynamic lighting effect is the result of a design process. This process starts with the basic question of why light is needed. Once there is a clear understanding of the requirements, a lighting concept can be developed and presented that satisfies the demands. This concept has to be elaborated into a lighting plan which shows how light will be used to realise the desired lighting to fulfil the needs of the users of the space. When variations of use occur or environmental conditions change, different lighting scenarios are required: the lighting is controlled to adapt to the changing lighting climate or lighting effect.
