Illuminating Definition:
- Illuminating means providing insight, clarity, or understanding, and is highly informative.
Lighting Definition:
- Lighting or illumination is the deliberate use of light to achieve practical or aesthetic effects.
- Lighting includes the use of both artificial light sources like lamps and light fixtures, as well as natural light sources like sunlight.
Types of Lighting:
- Task lighting is mainly functional and is usually the most concentrated, for purposes such as reading or inspection of materials. For example, reading poor-quality reproductions may require task lighting levels up to 1500 lux (140 footcandles), and some inspection tasks or surgical procedures require even higher levels.
- Uplighting is less common, often used to bounce indirect light off the ceiling and back down. It is commonly used in lighting applications that require minimal glare and uniform general illuminance levels. Uplighting (indirect) uses a diffuse surface to reflect light in a space and can minimize disabling glare on computer displays and other dark glossy surfaces. It gives a more uniform presentation of the light output in operation.
Product Descriptions:
- Product descriptions should address the target audience directly and personally, using words that the ideal buyer uses.
- Sensory adjectives are power words because they make the reader experience the copy while reading. Words like velvety, smooth, crisp, and bright can be used to create vivid product descriptions.
Amber LED Lighting:
- Amber LED lighting is used in applications where photochemically sensitive materials are being used or manufactured to prevent inadvertent exposure to damaging UV and blue light.
- Amber lighting is used where photosensitive processes are being used. This special amber light, or 570nm, is used in applications where photochemically sensitive materials are being used or manufactured to prevent inadvertent exposure to damaging UV and blue light. A perfect application for Amber LED lighting is semiconductor manufacturing.
LEDs:
- LED stands for light-emitting diode, which is a semiconductor device that emits infrared or visible light when charged with an electric current.
- LEDs operate by electroluminescence, a phenomenon in which the emission of photons is caused by electronic excitation of a material.
- The material used most often in LEDs is gallium arsenide, though there are many variations on this basic compound, such as aluminum gallium arsenide or aluminum gallium indium phosphide. These compounds are members of the so-called III-V group of semiconductors—that is, compounds made of elements listed in columns III and V of the periodic table.
