Museum Light Study:
Older Museum space that is predominantly lit by daylight. How one would perceive the artwork would depend on the time of day.
museum of tele communications
lit in this picture by skylights. Light bounces off the wall very well however at a different time during the day the furniture and floor would be lit and Artificial lighting would probably be necessary to light the pictures on the wall
Restaurant Light study
lit mostly by candlelight, gives a warm glow and romantic feel.
Lit mostly by daylight. Would be inviting and enjoyable for brunch or breakfast.
PF Changs: Shades on lamp provide a way to diffuse light in the space and prevent glare.
Very modern restaurant. Different colors of shaded lamps provides depth to the lighting display and allows a good amount of light into the space. Aluminum chandelier would have to be turned on only at night due to the glare it would probably have.
Retail Light Study
Location: Salvation Army Select, Greensboro NC
Lighting in Dressing room was originally just paneled Fluorescent lights. This provided minimum light to certain areas such as walk way. Also the colors of clothes in the individual stalls were altered. We went on a hunt for a different type of lamp and finally found a pendant at IKEA. Pendant allows more light flow into the individual dressing rooms.
Lighting in the main retail space is mostly paneled fluorescent lights. Track lights that are movable were installed in a grid pattern along the walls to allow for direct lighting to amplify certain products, etc.
Fabric Study
Faux Leather
Faux leopard fur
cotton
shiny shear material
Fabrics under incandescent light on end table in a living room space.
Light brings out the warm colors in the fabric.
Fabric under indirect fluorescent in kitchen space. Cotton and shear fabric look truest. Leopard and faux leather look dark.
fabric under fluorescent tube in bar. Light is only 2' away from surface so glare is an issue. Fabrics have a blue/greenish tint to them. Very unpleasing to the eye.
