Our lighting standards are based on the measurement of light performance on a horizontal plane. For compliance with these standards downlights are the most efficient way of lighting. In the following PDF we explain downlight beam angles and identify simple
In this video I introduce the concept of task-based lighting criteria. Task based lighting design provides light where we need it, when we need it. It also allows for reduced illumination levels in the surrounding spaces, for example circulation. This
Have we forgotten the importance of design authorship? The lighting design concept provides the client with a vision of the future. But between a concept and the completion of a design there are many steps.In film production the successful realisation
The answer is yes, some types of commercially available LED light can kill mould. Recent research has shown that light of 405nm wavelength can inhibit growth of bacteria, fungus and mould. This wavelength of light is visible as violet light
The first step in lighting design is not a lux calculation, it is defining how light can make a place special. Given this, David Skelley explains how lighting design is “Placemaking” – how we can use the power of light to
David Skelley explains the design disconnection that limits designers from effectively using the power of light in design. David provides a comprehensive perspective on lighting design to architects and interior designers and project managers by explaining how light shapes space
