1. Task Lighting: Use task lighting to highlight specific areas of interest. For example, in a classroom, task lighting can be used to illuminate the teacher's table or board, while in a library, it can be used to highlight individual reading areas.
2. Accent Lighting: Use accent lighting to draw attention to particular features of the room, such as artwork, a display shelf, or a special collection. This adds interest and depth to the overall environment.
3. Adjustable Lighting: Use adjustable lighting, preferably dimmable lights, to create a versatile environment that can be tailored to different tasks. For example, lower the lighting level during a presentation or lecture to create a more comfortable and relaxed environment.
4. Natural Light: Incorporate natural light by positioning windows strategically to maximize light distribution. This can reduce the need for artificial lighting in the daytime, save energy and create a more comfortable and natural learning environment.
5. Use Coloured Lights: Use coloured lights to create a mood or for visual interest. For example, use yellow or warm lights in a designated student collaboration area to promote interaction and creativity, or blue hues in a quiet reading corner for peacefulness and focus.
6. Proper Light Fixture Placement: Proper placement of lighting fixtures is key to illuminating every area of the classroom or library. Use the right mix of high-level fixtures and low-level fixtures to ensure full coverage of light.
Overall, the lighting plan should be designed to create a comfortable, visually appealing, and conducive environment for learning.
