Lighting is the application of light. What we do with lights, where we place them, how much area we light with them, what color “white” light we choose, what shadows we cast, or which artwork we accent––the effects we create––this is lighting.

As we get older we need more light, but it must be more shielded, balanced, and
uniform light.

Lighting that is the most effective for an application while using the least amount of energy can be considered energy-efficient.

Lighting for universal design is lighting that grows and shrinks as we do; it lives with us, and adapts to our needs.
