Lighting Fundamentals

The productivity and wellbeing of people within a given space can be significantly affected by the lighting. Achieving the correctly lit environment in an energy efficient and regulatory compliant way is the crux of lighting design.

This presentation examines the fundamentals of lighting, focusing on topics such as “What is light?” and “How does the eye work?” The basics of lighting design and lighting design criteria, including the importance of maintenance factors, reflection factors and glare are discussed, as well as commonly used terms and units.

Lighting for Emergency Situations (LG12)

Emergency Lighting and Signage present a number of challenges for the designer, the installer and the end-user. Design requirements vary between different types of buildings, and the needs of specific users need to be considered. The building owner has a legal obligation to regularly test and maintain emergency luminaires, but this can be time-consuming and costly.

This presentation considers the issues raised by the current legislative requirements particularly for the designer and the end-user. It shows how new technologies can be used to address the issues relating to effective emergency lighting provision, and to reduce life-cycle costs for the end-user.

Non-Visual Effects of Light

Light plays a much bigger role in our lives than just allowing us to see. As we begin to understand more about our response to light and human behaviour, increasingly lighting designers have much more to think about than just task illuminance alone.

This presentation looks at how light impacts us, our response, and suggests ways in which we can improve our artificially lit environments and enhance our wellbeing.
