Light hidden in curves: Grooves as light fixtures

Light emanating from a curved recess. A continuous linear light source is hidden in the large coving where the ceiling and wall meet, or behind a curved volume. The light washes upwards or outwards over the curved surface, and because the surface is round, the light gradient is very soft, making the light source completely invisible. There are two to three such light sources in a space. Avoid: making the light strip and fixture body visible, creating hidden lighting on a flat surface losing the curved gradient, using cool white light, making the hidden light too bright resulting in obvious bright bands.

一道從弧形凹槽透出來的光。天花與牆交接的大圓角上,或是弧形量體的背後,藏著一條連續的線性燈;光往上或往外洗過那道曲面,因為表面是圓的,光的漸變非常柔和,完全看不出燈在哪裡。一個空間裡有兩到三道這樣的光。避免:讓燈條與燈具本體被看見、在平面上做藏光失去曲面的漸變、使用冷白光、讓藏光的亮度過高出現明顯的亮帶。
