Lighting Part 2
- 1. LIGHTING DESIGN PART 2 Instructor: Deborah Ogden
- 2. A linear light source concealed on top of a canopy bed gives lovely ambient light without a visible source
- 3. Hide an ambient lighting source above an armoire or bookcase
- 4. Install lighting in a skylight well--for light that seems to be daylight—even at night!
- 5. Tray ceilings lend themselves very well to cove lighting details
- 6. The task lighting illuminates the counters very well The ambient light softly gives another layer to fill in the room
- 7. Kitchen cove lighting Using cove lighting above a kitchen cabinet, with a fascia and linear light source Here is an example of cove lighting for a kitchen with no open space above the upper cabinets. This is a great ambient lighting solution.
- 8. Another ambient light source idea Lighting inside this light well would be an indirect source, or a type of cove lighting
- 9. Methods for concealing linear light sources on open ceiling beams
- 10. Concealed light sources on top of open beams reflects from the ceiling to create ambient light
- 11. Ambient light is best in layers, rather than as a single source, which can be harsh, like this chandelier
- 12. Here the sconces help give ambient light rather than relying only on a full-blast chandelier The chandelier will appear to give most of the light, but can be dimmed, or use smaller bulbs and less harsh glare Light layers are more flexible, and can save energy
- 13. How to place a sconce --
- 14. A high wall sconce can be a good ambient light source The light can reflect from the ceiling for effective indirect lighting
- 15. Torchieres offer the same benefits as sconces for this example—they provide ambient light that will seem to come from the chandelier, which can be dimmed
- 16. Here is a dining room using a chandelier along with cove lighting for layered ambient lighting
- 17. This indirect light pendant is another option for ambient light—giving the same light as a chandelier without glare
- 18. ACCENT LIGHTING USED FOR DRAMA AND EFFECT TO HIGHLIGHT ART OR TEXTURE FOR UP-LIGHT ON INDOOR PLANTS OR OUTSIDE ON TREES
- 20. If it’s not practical to install a ceiling spot, a portable one can be placed on a bookcase or other tall item
- 21. Accent spots can be attached with a weighted or friction fastener
- 22. Up-lights in a plant pot (with a stake to hold them in place) are an easy and inexpensive way to get a glamorous look--and dramatic ceiling shadows
- 23. Placement of an accent spot light is very important This spotlight is directly above the sculpture, and does not illuminate the face
- 24. This spot has been placed at the correct angle to show the face on the sculpture An adjustable spot gives a little more flexibility
- 25. Lighting within an enclosed space needs to consider the heat given off by the source—and check the local code Note the fascia or valance (not “valence”) to hide source and stop glare
- 26. Here is a “before” photo for a living room makeover The visitors would have to yell across this space The lighting and colors need help as well The plants seems to be trying to escape!
- 27. After New colors, furniture and lighting Note the up-lights behind the plants Cove lighting on the right Accent lights below the cove (art) and on the larger picture Outside lights prevent the black mirror effect
- 28. Consider placing a fixture over a balcony (when possible)-- rather than 20’ high Easier to replace the bulb later
- 29. If you add recessed lighting: Use “IC” or insulation contact cans for safety and code Special “remodel” cans make it possible to cut a smaller hole into the ceiling
- 30. When mounting tracks or spots on a beam, why not place them in a less visible location?
- 33. SIZE OR SCALE: IS THIS FIXTURE THE CORRECT SIZE FOR ITS LOCATION?
- 37. “ Half-hot” or half-switched plugs These plugs can make an entire room more usable, just by making the lighting more convenient The top plug is controlled by a switch, the bottom one is always “live” or “hot”
- 38. This lamp has an in-line cord dimmer—these can be added to existing lamps
- 39. Some examples of dimmer switches
- 40. Switch plate covers come in many colors—it’s best to have the switch plate blend with the wall or disappear
- 41. Remotes to add to lamps or up-lighting—especially ones without a half-hot plug
- 42. A zoned controller for different mood and zone lighting options
- 43. A beautiful bedroom with layers of lighting: recessed ceiling lights, cove around the bed, table lamp, clip-on accent, and corner up-light
- 44. Here is another example of how to achieve effective cove lighting
- 45. See tiny recessed ceiling spots, wall sconces through the mirror, and cove lighting (not turned on in this shot)
