Abstract

This study aimed to provide lighting designers with a strategy that could be applied in nightwork environment, combining the visual and non-visual theoretical framework from previous studies on the same topic as evidence. A case study was used in the research as a pragmatic approach to conduct spatial and lighting analyses. The end findings are concluded in a schematic design diagram containing 3 different schemes for 3 different spatial functionalities - Low, Medium and High Functioning. Each scheme describes the visual and non-visual lighting principles under 4 elements - Corneal illuminance, Surface Illuminance, CCT/SPD, and Distribution.
