This document discusses different types of lighting used in illumination. It defines indirect lighting as lighting directed at ceilings or walls to provide illumination, accent lighting as lighting used to draw attention to specific objects of interest, and general lighting as lighting that provides overall illumination. It then defines various units used to measure the properties of light sources, including candela, lumen, lux, foot-candle, and lambert.

- lighting that provides illumination to special object like
sculptures
INDIRECT LIGHTING
- type of lighting where 90- 100% of light output is directed to
ceiling or upper walls
ACCENT LIGHTING of
- lighting used primarily to draw attention to particular points
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
