Master in Lighting design

What is Master in Lighting Designing?
It’s often said that lighting is as much an art as it is design engineering, but the art of design can be reduced to a series of guiding principles. “Lighting” is the application of light to spaces. Where the light is placed, at what relative intensities, and in what direction, can have a major impact not only on vision and visual comfort, but also on perception. Not just light, but the lighting equipment itself can also affect impressions of the space and its owner.

Lighting, therefore, can impact satisfaction, visibility, task performance, safety, security, sales, mood and atmosphere, aesthetic judgment and social interaction. It also tells a story about the space, whether a given store is likely to be focused on discounts or high-end products, or whether a restaurant is selling fast food or a fine dining experience. Architectural lighting design shapes the visual environment experienced by building occupants. By considering the interaction between light and materials, lighting designers greatly influence the function and aesthetics of architectural spaces.

Designers are concerned with color appearance (correlated color temperature, or CCT) and color rendering compared to an ideal source (measured on the color rendering index, or CRI). Changing CCT, CRI and saturation can have a big impact on how people, objects and spaces appear, enhancing or muting or even distorting their colors.

Space perception- bright uniform lighting, with light placed on walls and even the ceiling, can make a space appear public and visually larger in a lobby. Conversely, lower-intensity lighting at the task with a little perimeter lighting can create feelings of intimacy in a fine restaurant.
