Lighting is an important factor in our daily life. It is an integral part of the human experience, dictating our perception of the world around us. Lighting can affect mood, productivity, safety, and well-being on an individual and communal scale. Good lighting design can enhance and amplify a space, making it both visually appealing and functional. The proper amount and placement of light can significantly brighten a room and set the mood for any space. Proper positioning of lighting fixtures can draw the eye to important features, direct people to safety and quickly identify danger. Likewise, inappropriate use of illumination can be a source of stress, visual fatigue and distraction in spaces meant to support productivity. In nature, light is the source of life. It is the “energy” that drives photosynthesis, allowing plants to make food, to grow and to spread through the environment. It contributes to the health of a planet by allowing sight, allowing living creatures to seek out food, mate, hide, migrate and ultimately steer the course of evolution. Light does more than impact aesthetic appeal or dictate the activities of living things, however. It has the power to ignite the spirit within us. There is no facet of life that has not been touched by the power of light. Light fuels industry, sparks creativity and brings joy to our existence!
