5 typesof lighting

The luminous flux describes the quantity of light emitted by a light source. The luminous efficiency is the ratio of the luminous flux to the electrical power consumed (lm/W). It is a measure of a light source’s economic efficiency.

Luminance is the only basic lighting parameter that is perceived by the eye. It specifies the brightness of a surface and is essentially dependent on its reflectance (finish and color).

or technically, Light is that part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is perceived by our eyes. The wavelength range is between 380 and 780nm. By day we see in colour, while at night we can only see in shades of grey.

Different typesoflights

– Pleasant room impression– High user acceptance– Good contrast ratios– Flexible workstation layout(indirect component > 60 %)

Feature lighting refers to lighting that gives the space personality and identity. Feature lighting can refer to the fitting itself which makes the statement whether on or off. Using a pendant in the center of the bedroom can add to comfort levels and make the bedroom feel cozier the pendant can be in the same soft and diffuse aesthetic vein as your table or floor lamps

what is daylighting?

– Recessed direct/indirect solution– Workstations can be positioned anywhere– Glare-free– Reduced luminance levels at all viewing angles– Gives an impression of daylight in room

Moreover, its purpose is to ensure safe and easy traffic, as well as to create an overview of the room. The ambient light bounces off the walls to illuminate as much space as possible.

Task lighting illuminates the tasks a person carries out in a given space such as reading, cooking, computer work. A brighter light is required in a smaller focal point of the room for these sorts of tasks.

Accent lighting is used mainly to focus on a specific point of interest or to achieve the desired effect. This type of lighting gives the impression of a larger room. It is more frequently used to highlight an architectural feature, a plant (in outdoor layout), a sculpture, or a collection of objects.

General lighting

Typesoflights used in interiors

The luminous intensity describes the quantity of light that is radiated in a particular direction. This is a useful measurement for directive lighting elements such as reflectors. It is represented by the luminous intensity distribution curve (LDC).

Daylighting (using windows, skylights, or light shelves) is sometimes used as the main source of light during the daytime to save energy in place of using artificial lighting, which represents a major component of energy consumption in buildings. Proper lighting can enhance task performance, improve the appearance of an area, or have positive psychological effects on occupants.

– Highly directional– Strong glare reduction at certain angles– Dark ceiling (cave effect)– Limited flexibility of workstation layout– Energy efficiency on the task level

At NorthernCult, we dedicate ourselves in creating the best out of the decorative light fixtures, home décor items that transform your home, workspace, or anywhere you belong to, as beautiful and accented as you want. Our designer lights and home décor items are known to translate a house into a home and an office into your favorite workspace.

What arethe4 typesof lighting

– Diffuse lighting conditions– Room gains in height– Glare-free– Workstations can be positioned anywhere– Low energy efficiency

Indoor lighting is usually accomplished using light fixtures and is a key part of interior design. Lighting can also be an important aspect of landscape projects. Lighting designers can help you to get the optimum solution for your lighting requirement with the most efficient, and best lighting design for you, the Lighting Designer is responsible for the design, installation, and operation of the lighting and special electrical effects used in the production

Lighting definition can be termed as the use of light or luminaire to achieve practical or aesthetic effects. Lighting includes the use of both natural light sources by using natural sources like sunlight, reflections, etc, and artificial and light sources like lamps and light fixtures.

General or ambient lighting is intended to light up a room in its entirety. It provides a uniform level of illumination throughout the space independently of other lighting sources.

Illuminance describes the quantity of luminous flux falling on a surface. It decreases by the square of the distance (inverse square law). Relevant standards specify the required illuminance (e.g. EN 12464 “Lighting of indoor workplaces”). Illuminance: E(lx) = luminous flux (lm)/area (m2)
