Functional lighting has enabled presets that open up a whole world of possibilities for elevated living. Technology upgrade in lighting concepts has made it possible to centrally configure the complete lighting system on automation, security, audiovisual and curtains/blinds, and motion sensors or daylight sensors. Human-centric lighting allows for a smooth shift in illumination from bright and utilitarian to sophisticated and relaxing at night.
Light manipulates design by drawing the eye to the textures
and materials used and determines how one would perceive and experience a
particular space. Lighting considerations, similar to architectural space
planning, are crucial in gauging the colour and material scheme as part of a
larger spatial experience. It is vital to choose an optimal lighting source and
recognise the desired effect of that fixture as it dictates the design
aesthetic of the space. We should prioritize the qualitative side of lighting
instead of quantitative lighting, that meets the minimum lighting requirements
to illuminate any space. Studying the tangible aspects of space planning such
as wall, flooring and ceiling colour and height, explains the materiality of
these spaces along with some inclusion of decorative lighting fixtures. All
these elements put together give us an idea of the wattage of light required in
the space, that further gives us the preliminary lumen packages requirement.
Each space must be illuminated within a home based on
functionality, budget and aesthetics. For example, living and dining rooms need
central highpoints amongst layered light. One must identify and invest in a few
decorative fixtures as the primary source of illumination, to save costs. Task
lighting in bedrooms can be glamorized using side table lamps of approximately
600 lumens.
