DESIGN I ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
LIGHTING - MIXING SOURCES, EFFECTS&EQUIPMENT
SOURCES Well-balanced and enticing lighting solutions use a mix of light sources: “incandescent feel,” fluorescent and LED. Combining different sources offers flexibility when staging the mood from day to night and allows for trade offs that help reduce environmental and operational costs. As incandescent bulbs are phased out, think of ways to “warm-up” the light and mimic incandescent quality. Consider using diffusers, lenses and champagne-tone reflectors. Select dimmable sources for general lighting. EFFECTS Distinctive and sophisticated lighting design engages the senses with a variety of lighting effects. Consider lighting different planes - not just horizontal (tables, floor and ceilings), but also vertical (walls, columns and screens). Create interplay among distinct qualities such as “light pools,” textures, highlights and points of sparkle, to add visual allure to the space. EQUIPMENT Lighting orchestrated to deliver quality and style requires lighting equipment that goes beyond the norm. Think outside the box! When selecting equipment, don’t limit to downlights. Step lights and in-ground uplight fixtures can produce intriguing effects.
