Week 5
This week, we were visited by lighting retail and manufacturing specialists who had bought a variety of luminaires for us to evaluate and try out during our workshop.
Task 1 Luminaire Comparison
20-degree luminaire- spreader lens- widens the angel of bean to 4 degrees
Same luminaire as previous image however, diffuse lens is used which makes the beams edges soft
Luminaire- 20 degree, lens that elongates and sharpens the beam to an oval shape
Luminaire- 20 degree, diffused rectangular shape lens with strong centre and soft edges
Luminaire- 6 degree beam, warm tone, bright centre and diffused edges
Luminaire- 700 mA, wide bright beam, soft edges and warm toned
Copper bezel luminaire- creates a warmer beam
smaller copper bezel luminaire- closer to floor, creates a much warmer beam the pervious image
Task 2 Offset and Scallops
Luminaire- 3000K oval lens, held near wall, making beam slightly diffused
Luminaire- 3000K oval lens, held further away from wall, making beam more diffused
Luminaire- 2700K 300mA, held right by wall, creating a sharp beam, warm toned
Luminaire scalloping- 270 degree beam, far from wall, makes beam from the top sharp and wide, the bottom into wide wash of light
Luminaire scalloping- 270 degree beam held close to wall
Task 3 Render with Coloured Light
Fruit under warm light- enhances the natural and vibrant colour of the fruit
Fruit under cool toned light with purplish hue
Fruit under bright blue light, makes the colours of fruit look distorted and fruit unappetising
Task 4 Different Types of Luminaire
Luminaires- 300mA cool-toned and warm-toned round beams with slightly sharp edges
Luminaire- 700 mA, wide bright beam with glare, soft edges and warm toned
Luminaire- 25W driver, silicone optics, wide beam, cool toned with purplish hue.
This light was not at all harsh to the eyes in comparison to the bright blue-purple light.
