Communication is LIGHT

Light is not unidirectional radiation. Light represents a dialog between viewer and his/her surroundings; it is a catalyst that enables visual experience. There are no outlines without light. There is no space and no colours without light. olours affect mood and feelings and for that reason, there must be colour at home. Light is at least as important as colour within our own four walls. With both - light and colour - it is possible to make experiments, create moods, increase or decrease space or suppress unfavourable spatial relations. Only harmony between the change of light and shadow enables furniture and objects to become distinguishable. Brightly illuminated areas have a more stimulating effect than shadowy rooms and that is why a social room should be well illuminated, according to psychological aspects. Lighting controls the colour perception and the overall staging of the space. At the same time, it is necessary to differentiate between the colour of light and colour reproduction.

Colour Reproduction

The reproduction of the colour of a light source indicates its colour effect, which creates light on coloured objects. This means that the colour of the light which is reflected on the object depends on the colour of the lighting. Even if two illuminations seem absolutely identical, an object may always look different under these illuminations, because the object may show itself only in colours or in a mixture of colours which are also contained in the light.The properties of colour reproduction provide information about the nature of the reflected colour of the object or material under artificial light. In terms of positive light ingeffects, it is necessary to keep in mind warm, relaxed colouring.

The Colour of Light

The colour of light is the colour appearance of the light source (in contrast to the colour of an object, which arises only from illumination). The colour of light results from the spectral composition of emitted light and is described as the light temperature. Lower colour temperatures are assigned red colour shades and with increased heat, the colour shade becomes white and then blue. Colour temperature is measured in Kelvin (K).

They all appear white to the human eye - differences become apparent with slight comparisons. Primarily, warm white, neutral white and daily white light are used in illumination technology. The preferred colour of light in residential premises is a warm white, because it creates a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Conversely, neutral white light causes a rather unemotional mood. It is used especially in working environments
