Lighting: Type of Lighting: Specific Lighting

This document discusses different types and units of lighting. It describes general lighting, accent lighting, and indirect lighting. It then defines various lighting terms including luminous intensity, candlepower, lumens, lux, foot-candles, luminance, and brightness. The units discussed include candelas, candles, lumens, lux, foot-candles, lambert, and foot-lamberts.

LIGHTING

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

- the sensation by which an observer is able to distinguish between differences in luminance
