22 August 2006
Modeling of Faces or Objects: With casual conversation taking place in
lounges, individual's faces should be illuminated well without harsh
shadows.
Target Horizontal Illuminance ( 10%): 100 lux (10 fc)
DISCUSSION:
The introduction of daylight is a priority in lounge areas. Additionally, an ambient /
accent approach to the lighting system will provide visual interest in the space and also
some variety and flexibility in the control. While breaking the system into ambient and
accent components, take care to avoid visual clutter with too many types of luminaires
or poor layout. The luminaire selection should reinforce a casual and comfortable
atmosphere.
