Definition

Lighting concepts for interior spaces can be found everywhere. Be it the concept to allow daylight to penetrate in a building without causing glare or overheating, be it the concept to create appropriate lighting conditions in offices, or be it the specifics of museum lighting to highlight art without damaging it by radiation or heat. Interior lighting is about choosing the appropriate lighting components in a lighting design to fit the requirements of a certain application (examples in Fig. 1).
