Lighting design concepts accessibility lighting standards visual environment visually impaired. FPOV is an award winning, international lighting design and audio visual design consultancy with studios in the UK, Hong Kong and Australia working across all sectors retail, commercial, civic and with a focus on luxury hospitality and residential design projects. These strategies are put in relation to the overall concept of the Universal Design principles and the guidelines outlined by The Danish Association of the Blind to support a visual stimulating environment. This paper present a general discussion on lighting design strategies and their impact on aesthetics and functionality of the visual environment based on classic theories on lighting design describe by Richard Kelly, William M. Where brilliancy control is desired, settings of 10 per cent and 3 per cent have been found to be satisfactory. The basis for this is Efficient Visual Comfort (EVC) our strategy for seamlessly connecting sustainable design approaches with innovative product technology. necessary to increase the intensity of the lighting to maintain effective visual cues by use of a suitable brilliancy control. This point to the need for a broader approach to lighting design where the quantitative aspects meet the qualitative in order to fulfil a successful Universal Design of the visual environment. We develop and manufacture lighting solutions for this purpose that create a high quality, authentic environment. They certainly are important aspects however, they are not sufficient for users with specific needs. The regulations often focus on the quantitative aspects like light levels and the uniformity of the light. Based on this research rules and regulation in a Danish context is studied to see how lighting design can support Universal Design in general and the specific users need in particular as described in the user organisations guidelines to accessibility. Research has shown that when it comes to visually impaired and hearing-impaired people it is of crucial importance in order to make their daily lives work and being self-reliant.
#Visual lighting design driver#
In general, it is useful for all of us to have aesthetic, appropriate and well-functioning lighting conditions. For effective design lighting at intersection, empirical research is required to evaluate the effect s of lighting configuration (part of the intersection illuminated) and lighting levels on nighttime driver visual performance. One of the most important players in that field is light. The visual environment that surrounds us all makes us able to understand and interpret the world we live in.
