Lighting Design and Simulation Terminology
This lighting glossary combines terms that are used in architectural
lighting design and lighting simulation. The interdisciplinary
nature of the work of the lighting designer is reflected
by terms originating in
architecture, radiometry, photometry, colorimetry,
metereology, physiology, psychology,
mathematics, geometry and computer graphics.

Of course, the information in this lighting glossary is not
something we invented ourselves. We have used a number of
printed and online
sources
in compiling everything you find here.
What we do not cover here, are the terms from what might be
referred to as "lighting technology". If you are interested
eg. in the mechanical and electrical details of specific
light source types, then we can
recommend both the
Lithonia glossary
and the
Philips lighting glossary.

This lighting glossary is by far not complete. We'll update it
continually. However, if you need any related term explained,
and don't find it here,
just ask us,
and if we know the definition (or can dig it up somewhere),
we'll add it to our list!
