Light is faint visual background noise: always there, only noticed when it’s bad. Beyond meeting many simple needs, lighting can improve work and enhance play. Effective ambient lighting subtly brings to light (pardon our pun) the tasks we grapple with, and can do so in nearly every area of our lives. Ambient lighting provides an […]
It is a truth universally acknowledged that when there is light we see things and in darkness we don’t. This simple observation leads us to wrongly believe that our eyes perceive the world around us through the amount of light present. Whereas in reality our eyes perceive the world around us by the quantity of contrast […]
Colour is not a physical property of the objects we see, but the light that is reflected back by the surface/object. Colour results from light waves bouncing off an object; in the case of transparent or semi-transparent objects it would result from light waves passing through it. Therefore the material of the object/surface determines the […]
We all know what Brightness is. However, let’s get a bit technical: In the world of Lighting Design, specifying the direction and distribution of light in a space yields Brightness contrast. Simply put determining the intensity and spread of light over an area results in Brightness levels. Brightness vs Luminance We often use the terms […]
Emotional Impact It is easy to simply light up a place with general light; however with all areas equally lit, the space will lose out on its emotional value. Moreover it will create a dull and boring place, where people will tend to get depressed. It requires careful manipulation of light to create spaces that […]
The light produced by passing electric current through vapour or gas is of a higher intensity than light produced by passing electricity through filaments. Electric Discharge Lamps are more efficient and have a longer life than filament based lamps (Incandescent lamps). Fluorescent Lamps Fluorescent Lamps work by passing an arc/wave of electric current through mercury […]
The principal characteristics of Daylight is that it changes with the time of day and year; even surrounding objects, pollution and position of the house will affect how daylight can be utilized as a part of design. Daylight has two components: Sunlight and Skylight. Sunlight is the direct beam of light from the Sun. Skylight […]
‘Incandescent’ means emitting light as a result of being heated, which is how this type of lamp works. Electric current is passed through the wire, which heats up and emits light. The length and diameter of the wire determines the amount of electricity needed to heat the wire and thereby the output intensity of light. […]

Transformers Transformers are used in low-voltage light sources. These low-voltage lamps work on current between 6 to 24 V (12V being the most common). However a building generally receives anything […]
Light sources that have built in optical systems are called Directional Sources or Reflector lamps. Ar, MR, PAR and R lamps are a few examples. Light sources which lack such in-built systems require external devices to modify the direction of light in order to make them useful for architectural applications. These modifications serve two purposes. […]
Principles of Electricity Electrons, which orbit around the nucleus of an atom, are electrically charged particles. These can be made to move from one place to another. This flow of electricity from one place to another is called electric current; and the rate of such flow is measured in amperes (amps, A). The potential amount […]
The light distribution and electricity circuits to the lamp/light source embedded within it. They also provide support to the lamp. The luminarie directs light to where it is needed in terms of distribution and shields the light source from causing glares. Luminaries thus are composed of many parts, each part carrying out a specific function. […]
