Home Office Home Lighting Tips

My name is Brent Shelly with Expert Village and we are talking about lighting design today. Another common residential space is a study or an office. There are some pretty extreme visual tasks in this type of spare. A lot of times you will need to read something that has very small print and low contrast. So you need a lot of illumination for this type of tasks. One of the challenges is lighting a horizontal surface such as a desk and doing it in such a way that you don't get glare from your reading back into your eyes. You have to remember that the angle of accidents is equal to angle of incidents. So if your light is coming from in front of you, it will bounce off what you are reading and go into your eyes. What I like to do is have two sources. One from the right and one from the left that cross from the side so, that way the reflections go away from you as you read a glossy magazine for instance.
