Lighting designer skills

Some people say that lighting designer is an all rounder, is a complex of architects, artists, scientists, psychologists, power aesthetician, each person has eighteen Wu Yi.

1, for the lighting industry at

In the lighting engineering field, he should be of different light sources and characteristics of power supply, the correct use and operation requirements, the development of new light sources and related standards should be informed. He should also be familiar with which manufacturers produce which light source.

As for the electrical device, he should know that for different light sources (ballast, transformer, electromagnetic and electronic), advantages and disadvantages, the local norms and standards for each device (including environmental restrictions) are what structure controls every operation of the device and the requirements of different operating mechanism, as well as what manufacturers which device.

2, understand the wheel carrier and behind the light ""

Understand the different methods and techniques of lighting device associated with building materials, coatings and the application.

For lighting device structure materials and technology, the optical structure of materials and technology, electrical structure and power supply lighting device, limit control system for all lighting device structure for different purposes and requirements, as well as their local and international standards (including environmental restrictions), needs to be clear in mind.

At the same time, the optical characteristics of various lighting devices: different levels of photometric characteristics, light distribution, glare index, lighting efficiency, production of processing, assembling and polishing technology and other lighting devices should be familiar with.

3, optics and biology, psychology related technical knowledge.

Must have basic knowledge about natural light. It is important to fully understand the physiology and psychology of the visual process. The physiology of the visual process includes: the structure of the human eye, the transmission of visual information to the brain and the translation of the received information to the photochemical process, adaptation and adaptive adjustment process and light perception and color perception. He should also be aware of eye abnormalities, disease, aging and their effects on the visual process.

Psychology visual process refers to the reflection of all kinds of human feelings and the space light environment, color and contrast. It is important for lighting designers to know the cultural and geographical background that affects the human response to various light intensity, light, temperature, and color.

4, have the ability to control the lighting costs of a project

Lighting project cost control including the cost of the initial lighting calculation system and to draw up a comprehensive equipment procurement and installation costs, lighting system to understand the design out of the (calculation, direct and indirect energy consumption limits the accurate cost of operation).

5, lighting calculation

Should be in accordance with the design standards of the project requirements and architectural space lighting, choose appropriate lighting device, the control of energy consumption, and lighting effects were simulated and checked.

6, presentation skills

Methods: including artificial lighting design drawing sketch rendering and lighting drawings. Perspective and engineering drawings can be drawn manually or by computer software programs. This means that the lighting designer should understand and use the advanced CAD software in order to draw up the lighting design and construction drawings, and generate the 3D simulation, the perspective and the engineering copy.

In a word anyway, landscape lighting engineering is a very demanding work, so I hope that we can observe, in the future life seriously, carefully do every thing.
