Part 1 - Lighting & Human Life
This is the first article in a series of three in which we will focus on the relationship between lighting and human life. This topic is much broader than merely ‘ensuring vision’. After defining some important terms and measurement units, we will discuss how the quality of lighting interacts with and effects human behaviour.
This will set the background for the forthcoming articles, where lighting design and lighting technologies will be discussed.
Part 2 - Lighting Design & Techniques
In this second article, we focus on lighting design and lighting systems. We will discuss the relationship between illumination criteria and appropriate techniques, including energy savings considerations. Some actual technical solutions are reviewed.
Part 3 - Lighting Equipment
The two previous articles in this series of three have described backgrounds and base lines for a comfortable and energy efficient lighting design. In the third and final article, we focus on electrical lighting components. Each element will be reviewed and the consequences of an appropriate choice are examined. Some technical solutions are also reviewed.
We conclude that today it is possible to design a comfortable, end-use adapted and energy efficient lighting system for each individual situation.
