Lighting design is not only an important part of architecture and decoration design, but also an important means to add "light" and "color" to architecture. The most important task of architectural lighting design is to decorate and beautify the building according to the visual needs of consumers, and create a beautiful and comfortable visual environment for people with the help of the ingenious mobilization of light and shadow.

The following are 20 suggestions of lighting engineers for architectural lighting design:

1. In architectural lighting, artificial lighting and sunlight are of equal importance.

2. Daylight can be supplemented by artificial lighting. Artificial lighting can not only supplement the lack of sunlight, but also create a completely different atmosphere from the effect of sunlight.

3. Select the light source reasonably according to the lighting quality requirements. Incandescent lamps and tungsten halide lamps are used when there are high requirements for brightness, color, quality and dimming performance. Compact fluorescent lamps and high-strength discharge light sources are used to emphasize energy saving and reduce maintenance.

4. Electronic transformer and electronic inverter can improve the life of light source and reduce energy consumption.

5. Each lighting project shall have a certain maintenance plan, such as regular replacement, elimination or cleaning of illuminators.

6. The function of the illuminator is equivalent to the door and window, which is an integral part of the building that can not be ignored, rather than some kind of interior design decoration.

7. The important factor to judge the quality of illuminator is the combination of its function, the maximum visual comfort it can achieve and its best lighting efficiency.

8. As a detail of building structure, lighting should be selected carefully

9. The requirements of functionality and architectural design shall be taken into account when arranging the illuminators.

10. Lighting and lighting design is an integral part of architectural conception.

11. Different functions of the room shall be considered when wiring lighting.

12. When designing the lighting conditions of a working environment, the best visual comfort should be considered.

13. The brightness feeling of the environment can be achieved by the facade lighting of the wall or the indirect lighting of the ceiling.

14. Key lighting can arouse people's interest in a certain point and help people to appreciate the environment in a space.

15. In order to reduce energy consumption, natural lighting and artificial lighting in the working area should be combined.

16. Choose a corresponding lighting level according to different working environment, and consider the energy saving effect while ensuring the lighting quality.

17. In order to create different atmosphere and the best lighting effect, the use of lighting control system shall be considered in lighting design.

18. Even in the design of interior lighting, the lighting effect of the exterior at night shall be considered.

19. The design structure of a building can be best reflected by excellent lighting design.

20. Illuminators and lighting effects are not only an important part of architectural design, but also a means of shaping the corporate image of the company
