Multiple Light Sources, Low Illumination: Relying on Desk Lamps All Winter

A Nordic home in the evening. There is no main ceiling light; illumination comes from six to eight small light sources scattered throughout the room: two low table lamps on the windowsill, one on the desk, a floor lamp next to the sofa, a low-hanging pendant light above the dining table, a clip-on lamp on the bookshelf, and several lit candles. Each light source has low brightness and an extremely warm color temperature, forming a small, warm pool of light around itself; between these light pools are darker transitions. Because there are many low light sources, the space has clear layers and a human scale, rather than being uniformly lit by a single lamp. It is completely dark outside the window. Avoid: adding main ceiling lights and recessed lights, using cool white light, making the room uniformly bright, reducing the number of light sources.

一個北歐住宅的傍晚。天花上沒有主燈,照明來自散佈在房間各處的六到八個小光源:窗台上兩盞矮的桌燈、書桌上一盞、沙發旁一盞落地燈、餐桌上方一盞低垂的吊燈、書架上一盞夾燈,以及幾支點著的蠟燭。每一盞的亮度都不高,色溫極暖,在各自周圍形成一個溫暖的小光池;光池之間是較暗的過渡。因為光源多而低,空間有明確的層次與人的尺度,而不是被一盞燈平均照亮。窗外已經全黑。避免:加入天花主燈與嵌燈、使用冷白色的光、把房間照得均勻明亮、減少光源的數量。
