bar scene to alcoholism or depression. He also balances the wooden browns and yellows of the lower half of the painting with a dark wooden clock adorned with a vibrant yellow face at the top of the painting. The yellow circles expanding around the lighting fixtures and the clock balanced with the intense yellow of the floor help to illustrate how brightly the room was filled with artificial light while still making the viewer feel that no natural light is entering the room.

this brave new world! Even if there was a way to escape the digital realm, the outdoors are still affected by it, and the many sedentary activities we engage in, such as binge watching, don’t change this epidemic. Even with the influence of natural lighting in future technologic innovations, would it really make a difference? The concept of artificial light made to emulate natural light sounds ludicrous, and adds another failure to the human race. Would people still want to go outside, walk…

quality of the electrical lighting plays a role in learning and on concentration. Light is essential for humans to function, is essential for mood and cognition, essential for vision, can evoke emotions, and regulates bodily processes such as alertness and sleepiness. Having large windows that allow for an abundance of natural light is the best, but using quality artificial lighting can also work for when natural light is not possible or there is too much glare. In addition, lighting can also be…

of Illinois at Springfield campus, where I currently reside, there is much less light pollution, primarily because the university is located far outside the city of Springfield and is surrounded by rural, agricultural areas with little artificial lighting. The lack of light pollution around the university campus makes the sky appear much darker and makes the stars, planets, and even some artificial satellites like the International Space Station easier to see against the darkness. The usually…

Verlyn Klinkenborg, author of “Our Vanishing Night”, explains exactly why light pollution has spread. "We are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light” (Klinkenborg pg.478). He explains that humans have filled the night with light, so we have an easier time adapting to the darkness. However, with this comes consequences with our actions. Klinkenborg is effective when persuading the audience that light pollution is a problem. Therefore, there need to be actions taken…

3.2 Performance The first thing to consider when talking about a light bulb’s performance is the brightness. The brightness of a light bulb is measure in lumens (lm). It measures how much light the bulb outputs so the more lumens, the brighter the light. The power consumption is also important to know how many lumens a bulb produces per watt. The ratio of total output lumens per total watts used to power a light bulb is called luminous efficacy. Figure 2 shows a table comparing the luminous…

A museum requires a performant lightning system in order to observe the exhibits in a proper way. Taking a walk in Tate Modern I noticed that the light intensity as well as the light distribution is different in each space: the galleries from the Turbine Hall and the halls. In the galleries there are glowing light boxes displayed on the ceilings. The boxes are made out of glass and a steel frame. In addition to these there are also attached movable light bulbs on the steel skeleton of the boxes.…
