Imagine if we were living in a total darkness, no light, even a tiny sparkle of star light, what will happen? There will not have any meaning to DESIGN !
Light, not only help us to visualize but create dramatic effect to all creatures. Without light,
there is no silhouette, color, texture, sensation to everything around us.
Lighting design of what we are talking about is not only the outlook of the light fitting, the most important is the arrangement and color temperature of the light bulb that can enhance or spoil an interior within seconds.
A simple rule to remember, "Kalvin" is the color temperature unit that we will come across when purchase a light fitting, i.e. 'K".
2700-3000K = warm white light, make us feel like seating next to a cozy filament light bulb.
2700K is more yellowish, i.e. more antique
3000K is in lighter yellow, I will say more comfortable, but at the end it is still subjected to what atmosphere you would like to create.
4000K = white light, I rarely recommend especially for residential because it makes
the interior look "pale".
5000-5500K = day light, like the feeling of what we are walking under a sunny day.
Also rarely used for residential unless you want a special effect, because it feel good at outdoor but too bright for interior in such a comparatively small space.
So, pay a bit of attention to the color temperature when you choose a new lamp for your home next time, it really matters.
