No Overhead Lighting: Lights at Seating Height

A cozy living room at night with no ceiling lights. Illumination comes from five to six dispersed low-level light sources: a floor lamp next to the sofa with its shade at shoulder height when seated, a small table lamp on the coffee table, two short lamps on the windowsill, a clip-on lamp on the bookshelf, and a spherical lamp on the floor that can be placed directly on the carpet. All light sources are at or below eye level, so none shine directly into the eyes; they each form a warm, small pool of light, with soft darkness between the pools. The color temperature is 2700K or warmer. The ceiling and upper part of the walls are submerged in darkness. Avoid: adding ceiling main lights and recessed lights, installing lights higher than standing eye level, using cool white light, or illuminating the room uniformly brightly.

一個夜晚的懶系起居室,天花上沒有任何燈具。照明來自五到六個分散的低位光源:沙發旁一盞落地燈的燈罩在坐姿的肩膀高度、茶几上一盞小桌燈、窗台上兩盞矮燈、書架上一盞夾燈、地上一盞可以直接放在地毯上的球形燈。所有的光源都在人的視線高度或更低,因此沒有一盞會直射眼睛;它們各自形成一個溫暖的小光池,光池之間是柔和的暗。色溫是 2700K 或更暖。天花與牆面上半部沉在暗中。避免:加入天花主燈與嵌燈、把燈具裝在高於站姿視線的位置、使用冷白的光、把房間照得均勻明亮。
