Description

Light is a powerful thing. Lighting affects everything it falls upon.

It creates atmosphere, drama and evokes different emotions as it changes.

In a famous quote Glenn Cunningham described effective lighting design like a beautiful painting. It is your medium to bring someone to an emotional state with your art.

Lighting design is indeed both a science and a art.

Light is the first element of design, without it there is no color form or texture.

Perhaps when it comes to interior design, lighting design is the one of its most important elements.

Without proper lighting design the home decor and architectural beauty cannot be experienced to its fullest capacity.

A well lit room assures a warm and inviting atmosphere in your home.

The right lighting design can make you feel more relaxed and productive.

It enhances every single corner in a room from the furniture to the fittings and textures.

Utilizing the right type of lighting and ensuring the correct light placement is the most crucial task in lighting design.

And modern day Lighting designers achieve this task, through tools like lighting design and simulation softwares.

A range of lighting design softwares are available in the market,

but the most popular Lighting design software is Dialux.

And in this course we are going to learn to use this software for our Indoor lighting design.
