Lesson 116:01
We're going to light up the room with our knowledge on how to design a well-executed lighting plan that not only meets the functional needs of a space but also makes it visually appealing.
We're going to dive deep into the visual requirements of the area, select suitable lighting systems and luminaires, and even choose appropriate color temperatures based on the intended use of the space. Get ready to brighten up your designs and turn up the wattage on your skills!
We'll also be exploring how to evaluate and categorize visual requirements and design lighting schemes that are functional and visually appealing in various environments like healthcare facilities, product displays, leisure spaces, and sports facilities.
By the end of the lesson you'll be able to create functional and visually appealing lighting schemes for various environments such as healthcare facilities, product displays, leisure spaces, and sports facilities.
Lesson 213:31
I'll enlighten you on how to create a balanced lighting plan that maximizes natural light in buildings while ensuring energy efficiency. You'll learn about daylight levels and uniformity, glare, heat gains and losses, and more.
We'll also explore the coordination of natural and electric lighting systems in indoor spaces, covering topics such as proper placement and control of artificial lighting, consideration of illuminance levels and color aspects, and methods for linking electric lighting to daylight.
Moreover, we'll examine the benefits of integrated lighting and air-conditioning systems, their suitability for different types of buildings, and factors such as size, layout, climate conditions, and energy costs.
By the end of this part, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to create effective lighting plans for any building, big or small.
Lesson 314:34
You'll learn how to keep your lighting systems shining bright and maintain optimal levels of illuminance over time.
We'll explore concepts such as depreciation, the impact of dirt and soiling on light output, and the importance of regular cleaning and maintenance to minimize light loss.
We'll also dive into the fascinating concept of the light loss factor and how it can help predict the pattern of illuminance produced by a lighting installation over time, allowing you to assess the effectiveness of different maintenance schedules.
We'll discuss factors that affect maintenance schedules for lighting installations and the benefits of following lamp replacement and cleaning recommendations, such as improved lighting performance and cost savings.
By the end of this lesson you will have gained the knowledge and skills needed to keep your lighting systems at peak performance over time.
VISUAL REQUIREMENTS

Lesson 1:14:06
You'll learn about the lumen method - don't worry, it's not a secret magic trick. This approach is used to calculate the perfect amount of lighting for different spaces based on their unique requirements.
We'll dive into the nitty-gritty details and learn how to evaluate relevant data, like room size and shape, and the type of activities that will take place in the space.
We'll then put our knowledge to the test and apply the lumen method to design the perfect lighting for a typical office room. We'll determine the ideal number of luminaires needed to achieve the desired level of illumination and calculate the total installed load and estimated annual energy consumption.
Lesson 211:34
We're going to dive deep into luminaire spacing - yes, we're talking about the distance between those shiny, glowing things on the ceiling. I'll show you how luminaire spacing can impact the aesthetics, functionality, and energy efficiency of a space.
We'll explore the various factors that influence luminaire spacing, such as room dimensions, intended use of the space, and lighting requirements. We'll also familiarize ourselves with industry standards and guidelines to ensure proper luminaire spacing.
You'll learn and apply practical techniques to achieve optimal lighting distribution and minimize glare or shadowing.
We'll also take a closer look at the different types of luminaires commonly used in interior lighting design. From recessed to pendant fixtures, we'll explore their advantages and effects on the overall design scheme, maintenance requirements, and energy consumption.
We'll also dive into the concept of space to height ratio. We'll learn how this ratio can influence the choice of luminaires and affect the quality of lighting.
You'll learn and apply practical details to ensure that the chosen luminaires are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Lesson 35:47
You will learn how to determine the optimal layout of luminaires in a typical office space, taking into account factors such as the desired level of illumination, acceptable uniformity, and adherence to the recommended maximum space to height ratio. And fear not, we won't just talk about it! I will use a worked example to illustrate the process and outcomes.
We will also explore the concept of glare rating and understand its importance in creating a safe and comfortably illuminated space.
