Several common misreading of lighting designers

"Lighting design company? Lighting designer? What do you do? "Lighting design counterparts, in the self introduction, is not a lot of people have been asked?

This is light. Amateur misreading of the lethality is limited.

Sometimes the situation is more serious, engineering company employees will say: "lighting designer? You must be able to use AUTOCAD and PS, right? "Yes, 3DMax and CAD often touch, but this does not lighting the designer's main business.

Not only is the lighting designer drawing the wrong person "title". Other common misreading also includes: the lighting designer is illuminated at night, the sky is a group of people get colorful, or they are a group of businessmen, to help sell Lamps lighting manufacturers then from profiteering, or simply "electronic workers", should understand the material, knowledge of electrical appliances, installation and debugging will ok.

One of the reasons, the lighting design itself is a young industry, in China has a history of more than 10 years. In Shenzhen, for example, from 1997 to 1998, lighting engineering and design companies less than 20, into the year of 2000, the national lighting engineering boom raging, such companies were more than 3000. With the fall of the spring tide, tender lighting engineering, design companies after several ups and downs, of course, can not be quickly entered the mature.

Two reasons, lighting designer on the higher professional requirements, involving architectural design, landscape environment, electrical engineering, lighting research and development, control system design, art, computer graphics, and a series of project management skills, and there is no domestic training of professional lighting designers professional lighting design, currently do, almost all is left, the whole the designer team from all aspects, such as electrical engineers, interior designers, industrial design and Academy of Fine Arts students, to improve their comprehensive language skills.

The three reasons, the internal division of meticulous part of the lighting design, concept design, design and construction to guide the deepening person responsible for single concept design to creative design, 3D modeling, rendering rendering, the late PS and design case produced separately, each designer can only touch a small, only one spot, see everything has become inevitable if things go on like this, "draftsman" yu.
