Light from the Counter: The Surface Glows, Not the Lamp

A self-illuminating bar counter. Light sources are hidden beneath the edge of the bar counter, under the shelves of the back cabinet, and along the edges of the booth tabletops, with no fixtures visible; thus, in the image, what glows are the countertops, the edges of liquor bottles and glasses, not any specific lamp. These lights are all warm, low, and very localized. No exposed light sources can be found anywhere in the space. Avoid: allowing the light fixture itself to appear in sight, using pendant and wall lights as primary light sources, using ceiling lights to illuminate the countertop, allowing the color temperature of the light source to exceed 2700K.

一道自己發亮的吧台。光源藏在吧台的檯緣下方、背櫃的層板下、以及卡座桌面的邊緣,完全看不到燈具;因此在畫面裡,發亮的是檯面、酒瓶與杯子的邊緣,而不是任何一盞燈。這些光都是暖的、低的、範圍很小的。整個空間找不到一個裸露的光源。避免:讓燈具本體出現在視線裡、使用吊燈與壁燈作為主要光源、用天花打光照亮檯面、讓光源的色溫超過兩千七百K。
