6 DESIGN 6.2 Three layers of light Prior research within eating disorders suggests the possibility of a positive response to lighting design and atmosphere. The following three layers of lighting will be introduced in the lighting design concept to enhance at- mosphere and the different functionalities. The three layers of lighting are, amibient lighting, accent lighting and focussed lighting. On top of these layers, the general lighting with circadian lighting will coexist. General light » To reach standards and introduce circadian lighting. » Type: Pendants, up-light, down-light Creates the ambience in a room, usually wide coverage, creating soft shad- ows. The general lighting should be diffusing, using an opal lens to ensure high uniformity. The general lighting is ceiling mounted and makes soft shadows. The pur- pose of the general lighting layer is to fulfil the standards and reach desired horizontal light levels. Additionally, the general lighting has an extra intent, as it also introduces the healing function to the space, with the programmed circadian lighting. In this case, the CL will be part of the general light fixtures. Accent light » To create atmosphere, visual interest and highlight architectural fea- tures, art etc. » Type: Spots, table lamps, recessed light, wall light To introduce some atmosphere into the spaces, lower light sources will be part of the accent lighting. (Stidsen, 2013) In Denmark we rarely use ceiling mounted lighting in private homes, which makes hospitals, workplaces etc. feel very different than a home. Focussed light » To use for specific tasks and enhance functionality, productivity and focus for cooking, reading and working. » Type: Adjustable task light, spot On top of the ambient lighting and the atmospheric lighting layer, the task lighting will be added, to enhance the functionality of the space. CRI, bright- ness and location are important to avoid unnecessary shadows and glare. Dimmers and separate switches can be added for comfort and energy consumption.
