In lighting design, “contrast” often refers to variations in brightness caused by adding or removing luminaires and adjusting their output in a way that achieves
Relating material properties to light source properties, location, and orientation can maximize the luminance of specific areas. The following light reflectance value (LRV) contrast levels
Spaces are illuminated not only directly by light sources, but also by indirect light reflected off of objects. Additionally, many spaces are illuminated by light
Understanding the different types of photoreceptors in the eye and how they process light helps distinguish traditional focuses in lighting design from emerging trends in
Functional lighting design insures that illuminance levels within a space are adequate for its intended use. Below is a list of recommended foot-candle averages for
While all lighting calculation reports vary slightly depending on the software used and the applications engineer running the simulation, they always include the same key
