Light plays an essential role in our ability to perceive the world around us; the lighting system plays a critical role in how we perceive a space and can even influence how we act in that space. Lighting can affect performance, mood, morale, safety, security and decisions.

The first step in producing the right lighting design is to ask what the space is used for. The lighting designer can then determine quantity of light, color quality, brightness and direction. 

There are several ways that lighting professionals looks at lighting design, from the simple to the sophisticated. 

Simple. One way is to ensure that the lighting system provides

1. Ambient illumination for orientation and general tasks in the space, after determining how the space is used
2. Task illumination for local, more demanding tasks. Task lighting delivers light tailored for a specific task to the location of tasks.
3. Accent illumination to highlight special objects of interest or to guide occupants. An example of this scheme is an open office plan with workstations; we might provide indirect fixtures to provide ambient illumination, task lighting at the workstations for work, and accent lighting to highlight pieces of corporate art on the walls
