Lighting
The selection and location of light fittings should
take into account the ambience and creation of
moods as desired.
Indirect lighting schemes can create a softer and
warmer atmosphere than a standard direct
fluorescent scheme. Consideration should be
given to the selection of efficient low energy
fittings to minimise power consumption and heat
output.
Care should be taken to avoid direct glare from
spotlights and down-lighters. The effects of
mirrored walls on the lighting design should also
be taken into account.
Lighting controls should be situated away from
public areas and be controlled by staff.
