From Light Planning to the Perfect Lighting Design Solution

LED light, having an enormous potential, can be used for a variety of solutions, no matter if it is for basic orientation or to accentuate architectural elements of style or beautiful details of the architecture. Light, regardless of colour, shapes and structures space, supports perception and draws the attention of the viewer to the highlighted spots or areas.

question: How much light is needed, for what purpose, and where? Details of the building and intention of the architects are included and implemented in a practical and effective way. Light is treated as an additional material and as an functional design element.

Light planning is only optimum, if it considers the overall situation and the intended purpose of the room. In the planning phase, the room is initially divided into functions and areas, such as workstations, sales areas, counters and shelf presentation areas, as well as entry areas and traffic zones. Here, one speaks of so-called „zoning“ of the room. Requirements which the individual zones should fulfil are clarified with respect to their functionality and emotional content.

Depending on the illumination requirement, one or more lamp variants in different colors can be selected. Initial estimates and calculation programs support the decisions, in terms of number, power consumption and other technical details of the selected light sources. This is carried out in close coordination with the selection of lighting itself.

During light planning, it is often necessary to balance many viewpoints, some contrary to one another. Design, lighting technology, cost-effectiveness, power savings and possible side effects are all important factors. Since there are almost an unlimited number of stylistic elements and combination options of light and lamps to choose from, cooperation with a competent, experienced partner such as MSC Vertriebs GmbH is recommended.
