Learn About The World Of Gallery Lighting Design

By David Torkee Lieu


Shed some light on that

Lighting design may be fancy and creatively designed, but none of it really matters unless it serves its main purpose, provide the intended subject with enough light so that it can be illuminated. For us, simple light bulbs have been doing this for years. We're able to simply pick a few up at the store and replace our used ones when their lifespans end. However, as innovations in lighting design become more and more intricate, allowing for greater possibilities, the sources of light themselves(bulbs) tend to change too.

Many new appliances not to mention newly modeled houses use several types of lighting within the house. Now, instead of having the ability to simply buy any light bulb as a replacement, we've to look at the certain specifications of the appliance itself. As an example, investing a 75 watt bulb inside of a 40 watt lamp creates almost twice as much heat that is supposed to have been in the "safe" degree of heat to your lamp. The result could establish a fire. Not the kind of light you want..

- Think about how bright you want it to be

The kind of lights used in lighting design highly depend upon what the lights are intended to be used for and what kind of room/position the light is placed in. A lighting design intended for an art gallery, for example, must remain consistent throughout the room, through all periods of the day in which it is used. One of the most frustrating things that could happen to an artist while painting could be the noticing of slight changes in the colors. As lighting changes, so do the way we see certain colors or mixes of colors. Because of this, lighting design on an art gallery must hold a consistent tone (warm, florescent.. etc). On the other hand, lighting design within a bar is different because of its different purposes. Bars want to create an environment that is well lit, but at the same time not too bright. The targeted tone is sort of "mellow." A popular kind of lighting used in bars is pendant lighting, mainly because it is a single unit fixture that can be easily adjusted to suit the area's lighting needs.

- Make your design stand out

One place that's been particularly known to really shine in the area of light design are auditoriums. Their main function is always to provide the performer(s) with plenty of light to be seen from all all over the room. It is critical to have auditorium lighting design well configured, as performers often incorporate the effective use of various lights or strobes within their performance. The auditorium lighting design demands high powered lighting. These dramatic lighting systems include the usage of front lighting, beam lights, follow spot lights for movement, spot lights for individual illuminations, follow spot lights for movement, and floor lights. If your needs require such material, it's not uncommon for your project to need plenty of investments and work. Auditorium lighting design gets more and more creative as time goes on.
