LIGHTING

TYPE OF LIGHTING:
SPECIFIC LIGHTING
sculptures

- lighting that provides illumination to special object like

INDIRECT LIGHTING
- type of lighting where 90- 100% of light output is directed to
ceiling or upper walls
ACCENT LIGHTING

- lighting used primarily to draw attention to particular points of

interest

GENERAL LIGHTINGLUMINOUS INTENSITY

- the luminous flux emitted per unit solid angle by a light source, expressed In candelas
CANDLEPOWER
- luminous intensity expressed in candelas
CANDLE
-a unit of luminous intensity used prior to 1948 equal to the luminous intensity of a wax candle of a standard specifications
CANDELA
- the basic SI unit of luminous intensity equal to the luminous intensity of a source that emits monochromatic radiation
LUMINOUS FLUX
- the rate of flow of flow visible light per unit time expressed in lumens
LUMEN
- the SI unit of luminous flux equal to the light emitted in a solid angle of one steradian by a uniform point source having
an intensity of one candela
LUX
- the SI unit of illumination equal to one lumen per square meter
FOOT- CANDLE
- a unit of illumination on a surface that is everywhere one foot from a uniform point source of one candela and equal to
one lumen incident per square foot
LUMINANCE
- the quantitative measure of brightness of a light source or an illuminated surface equal to the luminous intensity per unit
protected area of the source or surface viewed from a given direction
LAMBERT
- a unit of luminance or brightness equal to 0.32 candela per square centimeter
FOOT LAMBERT
- a unit luminance or brightness equal to 0.32 candela per square foot
BRIGHTNESS
- the sensation by which an observer is able to distinguish between differences in luminance
