Diffuse Light – fills in shadows – reducing contrast. Diffuse sources deliver light evenly in every direction. Lamp itself
Diffused sources can be diffused more to deliver softer light. Luminaire or shade - think ceiling fixtures.
Directional Light – creates pools, increases contrast. Directional lamps and directional luminaires utilize reflectors and
optics to deliver light in a controlled manner.

Very Directional Light - (MR lamps) Engineered with High precision Great for accenting objects Creates glare and high contrast and unsuitable for social gatherings Direct sunlight
Directional Light – (PAR lamps) Slightly softer Less precise Great for accenting art on a wall, gathering areas in social spaces, and
architectural features (details). Less glare and less contrast Unfiltered Skylight

Diffuse Light – (R lamps) Use Diffuse sources with reflectors Soft washes (pools) of light Daylight through sheer curtains
Very Diffuse Light – (decorative lamps) Even spreads of light Light produced when filtered through shades Light from a cloudy overcast day Homogenous glow

Pools / pieces of light Most Directional sources emit Round shape Distinct pieces of light used to add detail and interest.

Planes of light Continuous linear sources Create long lines of light Wash across surfaces similar to daylight from windows, skylights and
light wells.

Light from the ceiling onto the walls Wall washers, recessed can luminaires Vertical lighting expands the space visually and shows off architectural boundaries.
Lighting from the ground (plane) upward Casts pool of light up toward the ceiling Rare, not natural Increase perception of height and verticality Intimate feeling

Lighting from the wall upward Mounted on/in the wall casting light upward towards ceiling Increases perception of volume Openness created by the brighter ceiling mimicking the sky
above. Sometimes the only light needed for simple environments
where little task or accent lighting is needed.
Lighting from the wall back onto the wall Decorative/functional fixture with shielded sources paint light back onto the wall. Useful where floor/ceiling mounted luminaires are not an option. Create patterns to help with flow

Lighting from slots and coves onto the walls and ceilings
Architecturally integrated lines of light that create even washed and unique glows onto surfaces. Perceived as daylight

Suspended glowing sources Add a haze of light to a space A distinct focal point Crowning elements of visual interest after other lighting
needs are met.
Low lighting onto the floor Step lights Light sources is closer to the surface being lighted

Seeing our environment for the surfaces that make it up
Wall planes Ceiling planes Floor planes
We envision our design based off how light illuminates these planes.
Seeing surfaces for the materials that make them up
Texture – reveal (directional) or conceal (diffuse) Color – Which light compliments – Cool light for cool colors and warm
light for warm colors. Intensity – Brighter materials need less light to stand out, darker, duller
need more light. Shininess – gloss – reflects the light source, matte absorbs more light.
