34 The FACE rules It’s easy to identify what you need the light to achieve, by following the FACE rules. They are: F stands for function. What do you want to achieve with the light? Do you want to bring out the best in the colours of your interiors and sofa cushions? Do you want to light up an entire sports field? Does the light have to be practical, for example, in a study? A for ambience. This is particularly important in hotels or restaurants, where you want to create a certain atmosphere to draw in customers; or in retail, to make merchandise look appealing and expensive. Or, perhaps you want to create a relaxed mood in a casual living area. Cool, blue light will enhance an indoor pool, while warm pinks will set the scene in your meditation room. C for comfort. Do you see a glare? Does the light feel too hot? E for economy. In other words, what is the most affordable lighting solution for your needs? Artificial light sources Incandescent light, which Thomas Edison invented around 1879, is where an electrical current heats a thin filament in the bulb, and so produces light. Halogen lights are a type of incandescent but have a more directed light so are better for task lighting. Pros: Incandescent light bulbs have perfect colour rendering, are cheap to produce and work well on alternating or directing a current. They are commonly used in households, commercial setups, portable lighting, for decorative purposes and in advertising lighting. Cons: Incandescent lighting is hideously expensive as a lot of power is required to produce the energy – one light bulb only lasts roughly 1000 hours. The heat it generates makes them too hot to touch and so they are dangerous in certain situations. Resene Upstage
