Summary of Illumination: In reference to Weatherspoon in the specific area I photographed in the first two photos are appropriate for that specific space. The only illumination present in the hallway is that of wall sconces. The purpose of the wall sconces is to create a subtle tone. While this is an art museum controlled lighting is most important for all those who come into the space get a different experience within certain areas. The minimal lighting sort of gives this notion of curiosity of the actually artwork itself. The sconces create a wash of light on the wall itself.
Problems: There is a glare that appears to be seen on the floor created by the lights but it doesn’t seem to create a problem. The only problem I can see occurring is if someone was trying to read or take notes within that particular area. Wall sconces are not good sources of light for seeing to perform a certain task. It is pleasing to the eye as well as creates a calming atmosphere.
Restaurant: Starbucks
Summary Of Illumination: Starbucks has a combination of recessed and dropped sparkle lighting. The sparkle lighting is there to create a welcoming environment. It makes customers comfortable and want to interact in the space. In relation to the bar the sparkle light is low enough for people who sit there wanting to read.
Recommendations For Lighting: Essentially if a customer were to sit directly at the bar, they would have adequate amount of light for reading. As well as adequate light for workers to do their tasks.
Retail Store: DSW
Summary of Illumination: This particular shoe store is brightly lit with fluorescent lights hanging above each isle. Halogen track lights are used to emphasize merchandise.Sparkle lighting is used as a decorative feature within the store.
