Lighting Strategy Guide
A practical framework for layered, controllable schemes.
Define layers
- Ambient: base illumination uniform across the space
- Task: focused light on work surfaces and functional areas
- Accent: character lighting for art, texture and focal points
Control philosophy
- Scenes defined before luminaire selection
- Dimming protocol chosen (DALI, 0–10V, wireless)
- Daylight-linked response where appropriate
- User interface designed for non-technical operation
Luminaire selection
- Colour temperature appropriate to use (2700K–3000K residential, 3500K–4000K commercial)
- Glare control (UGR) verified
- Beam angles matched to task and ceiling height
- Emergency luminaire integrated into scheme
