New article: Lighting inside and outside the home



This lighting article has a very funny and captive first liner "Most light is delivered by the Sun Corporation and is thankfully free of charge". Ha, ha.

But our writer has a lot of serious stuff to say about residential lighting, what it is, how you should use it, as well as the big "do's and don'ts" of interior and outdoor lighting.

With his background in cinematography and DIY home construction the author writes expertly about applying the basics of light study and the categories of light and its effects on a space.

Towards the end of the article there is a very informative "apply it to your own home" section, which makes the article very relevant and practical if you are currently designing your own home.

By-the-way: the design stage of home design is not too early to be thinking about lighting layouts. In fact this is the time you should take into account space, size, orientation, window & door sizes and window & door locations.

This lighting article is worth a read and may even educate people who thought they knew everything about lighting.
