MR-16

a. hallway with pin up space

b. accent - purpose of lighting is to have spot lights on the pin up space

c. MR-16

d. the lamps along the ceiling create a direct spot light towards the walls

e. according to Flynn- cool colors stimulate impressions of visual clarity. cool atmosphere = efficiency and neatness

f. these lamps are great for focusing on details. But other than the paths of direct light, there is a dim hallway. A broader variety of light sources would help solve this.

Halogen

a. elevator

b. ambient - well diffused space with glow, without being too bright

c. grid of Halogen lamps

d. the light source produces a diffused glow

e. none of Flynn's impressions correlate with our findings

f. no recommendations. the warm glow produces a relaxing environment

Fluorescent

a. recycling room/utility closet

b. task - provides all over bright light

c. Fluorescent

d. the lamp is bright to light the entire room

e. according to Flynn - cool atmosphere = efficiency and neatness needed for this space

f. the lamp seems to be too bright for the small space. a smaller lamp is recommended

Metal Halide

a. studio workspace

b. task - provides adequate light for working

c. Metal Halide

d. multiple lamps provide the space with electric light needed to work

e. Flynn - cool atmosphere = neatness. the space looks organized because of the effect the lamps have

f. lamps should be closer to the desks. without the natural light during the evening hours, the space can become poorly lit

Incandescent

a. individual desk

b. task - purpose to provide extra light when needed

c. Incandescent

d. provides a warm light, close to work to light the area

e. Flynn - warm atmosphere = friendliness, coziness. this is helpful with a small space within a larger space, making it feel more comfortable

Fabric A

-MR-16: spotlights the texture and brings out the cool tones in the textile

-Halogen: brings out the browns and reds. looks a lot warmer compared to the other lamps overall. not as bright

-Fluorescent: brings out warm and cool tones both. not either one of the extremes (cool/warm)

-Metal Halide: slightly cooler than others. the textile appears vibrant. the turquoise stood out the most. texture is clear and detailed

-Incandescent: warm light really brings out the browns. shows a great amount of detail and grain of the fabric.

Fabric B

-MR-16: fabric is not a cool color, so the cool lamp brought out darker undertones making it appear cooler

-Halogen: warm tones of lamps makes it appear bright red

-Fluorescent: the room is so bright that is illuminates the fabric, showing off the sheen. neither extremely cool nor warm

-Metal Halide: bright, cooler than the others

-Incandescent: bold in color. fabric is obviously effected by the warm lamp. texture is visible

Fabric C

-MR-16: because of the cool lamp tones, the lighting really made this fabric appear dull and pale

-Halogen: color of fabric is vibrant, but appears more orange/peach than others

-Fluorescent: fabric looks a bit dull, bright lights didn't enhance the color. slightly cooler appearance than other light conditions

-Metal Halide: bright, still slightly cool

-Incandescent: this warm fabric looks best in the warm light. color is lively and a lot of detail in the texture is shown

Fabric D

-MR-16: the cool light source keeps this navy fabric true to its dark blue color

-Halogen: appears purple and much darker than other lamps

-Fluorescent: lamp is so bright that is washes out the color and appears very light

-Metal Halide: fabric looks best in this light. more blue than others

-Incandescent: clearly shows how the direct path of lamp creates a warm spotlight on one area but quickly diffused surrounding area. fabric appears warmer from where the light hits directly
