Sketch Series Two


a. identify the purpose of the space
b. identify the purpose of the lighting
c. identify the lamps
d. describe the effect of each light source in each space
e. do you notice any aspect of Flynn's subjective impressions?
f. provide recommendations for improving the lighting environment

MR-16
a. hallway with pinup space along the walls
b. accent lighting
c. mr-16
d. it creates a direct light source on the wall, and spills out onto certain spots on the floor
e. light source was more cool, evoking a sense of efficiency, neatness and visual clarity
f. The light source is great for spot lighting, however the rest of the hallway was dim. I would suggest including a broader variety of light sources to further illuminate the rest of the space.

Halogen
a. passenger elevator
b. ambient
c. halogen grid of lamps
d. it creates a diffuse light that is not too bright and not to dim
e. none of Flynn's impressions correlate. He stated that warm diffuse light could evoke a sense of anxiety, however, we felt quite relaxed within the space
f . no recommendations. The lamps were successful in creating a relaxing environment that suited the space's function well.

Fluorescent
a. recycle room/utility closet
b. task lighting
c. fluorescent
d. provides an all over bright light that fills the space
e. similar to the mr-16, this lamp source evokes the impression of clarity and efficiency
f. For such a small room, the lamp was almost too bright. A lesser wattage or a smaller lamp would improve the harsh lighting experienced within the space.

Metal halide
a. workspace studio
b. task lighting
c. metal halide
d. multiple lamps fill the spaces with an adequate amount of light appropriate for working.
e. the lighting additionally provides an atmosphere of neatness and clarity
f. The lights could be lower to help direct more light on work surfaces, especially for the night time when the daylight no longer aids in filling the space.

Incandescent
a. lamp at a work desk
b. task lighting
c. incandescent
d. provides more of a warm light source for working and concentrates light down to the work surface
e. provides a warm atmosphere suggesting "friendliness" and "coziness"
f. limited by the area in which the light spreads. Light doesn't cover a broad workspace, so it would be best to use this lamp with other light sources.

Fabric 1
mr-16: because the fabric isn't a cool color, it made the fabric appear dark and brought out its dark undertones. however the lighting source did bring out its sheen
halogen: warm light source made this fabric look vibrant! much richer and more red.
fluorescent: the lighting is so bright that it really accentuates the sheen. the color appears very vibrant us is neither too cool or too warm.
metal halide: bright in color, but cooler in tone in comparison to others
incandescent: very bold! very warm in color and brings out the detail.

Fabric 2
mr-16: of all light sources, this lamp made the navy appear true to color
halogen: navy color looks almost purple under this light. it looks darker as well.
fluorescent: the navy still remains true to color although the lamp does wash out the color
metal halide: this fabric looks best in this light. it appears richer and less dull
incandescent: lamps casts lots of light and shadows on the fabric. it brings out a variety of hues depending on the concentration of light

Fabric 3
mr-16: this lamp highlighted the texture and brought out the cool tones
halogen: brought out the reds and browns and looked a lot warmer. the texture was slightly muted
fluorescent: brings out both warm and cool tones. fabric appears to be a nice neutral
metal halide: brings out blues and greens. the texture is especially brought out in this life
incandescent: brings out the browns. accentuates the detail of the fabric

Fabric 4
mr-16: color appeared dull and bland
halogen: color is vibrant but reflects more of a peachy orange color
fluorescent: fabric looks dull. the lamp brings out the cool colors
metal halide: improved color, it remains slightly cool, but not as washed out
incandescent: looks best in this light. it brings out the soft hues of color
