ÉclairageLéclairage est l'ensemble des moyens qui permettent à l'homme de doter son environnement des conditions de luminosité qu'il estime nécessaires à son activité ou son agrément. L'éclairage associe une source lumineuse (naturelle ou artificielle, fixe ou mobile) et d'éventuels dispositifs de type batteries, luminaires ou miroir/puits de Lumière. Les sources artificielles étaient le feu, des lampes à graisse, puis des lampes à huile, des torches, des bougies, les lampes à pétrole puis le gaz, puis des lampes électriques d’abord à incandescence (traditionnelle ou halogène) puis fluorescentes et électroluminescentes.
Architectural lighting designArchitectural lighting design is a field of work or study that is concerned with the design of lighting systems within the built environment, both interior and exterior. It can include manipulation and design of both daylight and electric light or both, to serve human needs. Lighting design is based in both science and the visual arts. The basic aim of lighting within the built environment is to enable occupants to see clearly and without discomfort.
Stage lightingStage lighting is the craft of lighting as it applies to the production of theater, dance, opera, and other performance arts. Several different types of stage lighting instruments are used in this discipline. In addition to basic lighting, modern stage lighting can also include special effects, such as lasers and fog machines. People who work on stage lighting are commonly referred to as lighting technicians or lighting designers. The equipment used for stage lighting (e.g.
Landscape lightingLandscape lighting or garden lighting refers to the use of outdoor illumination of private gardens and public landscapes; for the enhancement and purposes of safety, nighttime aesthetics, accessibility, security, recreation and sports, and social and event uses. Light pollution exacerbated by excessive, misdirected or obtrusive use of light, but even carefully used light fundamentally alters natural conditions. As a major side-effect of urbanization, it is blamed for compromising health, disrupting ecosystems and spoiling aesthetic environments.
Sustainable designEnvironmentally sustainable design (also called environmentally conscious design, eco-design, etc.) is the philosophy of designing physical objects, the built environment, and services to comply with the principles of ecological sustainability and also aimed at improving the health and comfort of occupants in a building. Sustainable design seeks to reduce negative impacts on the environment, the health and well-being of building occupants, thereby improving building performance.
Gaz d'éclairageÀ l'origine, le gaz d'éclairage désigne le gaz de houille, nommé ainsi par son inventeur William Murdoch parce que destiné à l'éclairage (gas light). L'idée de s'éclairer au moyen d'un gaz est traditionnellement attribuée à Philippe Lebon en France, et à Jan Pieter Minckelers en Hollande. Par extension le terme gaz d'éclairage renvoie à la technique permettant d'éclairer à partir d'un gaz tel que le gaz de houille, le gaz naturel, le dihydrogène, le méthane, le propane, le butane et l'acétylène.
Lighting control systemA lighting control system incorporates communication between various system inputs and outputs related to lighting control with the use of one or more central computing devices. Lighting control systems are widely used on both indoor and outdoor lighting of commercial, industrial, and residential spaces. Lighting control systems are sometimes referred to under the term smart lighting. Lighting control systems serve to provide the right amount of light where and when it is needed.
Pollution lumineuseLa pollution lumineuse est à la fois la présence nocturne anormale ou gênante de lumière et les conséquences de l'éclairage artificiel nocturne sur la faune, la flore, la fonge (le règne des champignons), les écosystèmes ainsi que les effets suspectés ou avérés sur la santé humaine. Comme celle de pollution du ciel nocturne qui la remplace parfois et qui désigne particulièrement la disparition des étoiles du ciel nocturne en milieu urbain, la notion de pollution lumineuse est apparue dans la deuxième moitié du et a évolué depuis.
Projecteur asservithumb|Un projecteur asservi. Un projecteur asservi, communément appelé « moving light » ou « projecteur automatisé », «projecteur motorisé» est un projecteur possédant une régulation d'un ou plusieurs positionnements de ses accessoires (lyres, couteaux, roues de couleurs, de gobo, trichromie, dimmer, ...., ...). Il peut fréquemment être piloté à distance, réagir de façon automatique au son ou posséder des fonctions de tests automatisés.
Sustainable urbanismSustainable urbanism is both the study of cities and the practices to build them (urbanism), that focuses on promoting their long term viability by reducing consumption, waste and harmful impacts on people and place while enhancing the overall well-being of both people and place. Well-being includes the physical, ecological, economic, social, health and equity factors, among others, that comprise cities and their populations.
