Artificial Lighting

As a group we researched into different lighting. My lighting research has been put up (natural), and other members of my group have also researched their own ones. Below is the research undertaken on artificial lighting:

Artificial Lighting:

∙ Artificial lighting is any lighting that isn’t sunlight.

∙ Artificial lighting is lighting which is man-made, such as fluorescent, tungsten, mercury vapour, sodium vapour, halogen, compact fluorescent etc. It can be turned on and off at a flick of a switch.

∙ There are also very special types of artificial light for specific purposes such as infrared heat lamps, ultraviolet lights for plant growth and tanning.

∙ In photography, different light sources have a different colour temperature which can be compensated for with special filters or simulated with special lighting. A flash simulates the light of the sun for a fraction of a second.
