Creative lighting guide for electrical contractors

Lighting Council Australia (LCA) has published a new Creative Lighting Guide designed in the main for electrical contractors and consumers.

The guide provides a complete introduction to lighting including the basic tenets of lighting design, along with available technologies and their uses to achieve desired effects.

Lighting is used to enhance space, define beauty and maximise value. It is a critically important element in the use of a specific space and the desired mood to be created in that space.

The guide outlines the human response to light and the different types of light that can be used to highlight architectural features, add interest, relax or stimulate and provide functional outcomes for various tasks from simply safe movement through to detailed work. It also uses various images to illustrate real scenes and the lighting used.

The LCA says that guide users should note that Council Australia members agree to abide by our code of conduct and supply products that comply with Australian regulations and standards.
