INCANDESCENT - An artificial lighting source that provides light by heating
an element (usually metal) to a Kelvin temperature of approximately 2500 -
3000 K, at which point the lamp glows
NATURAL - A type of light source whose main source is the sun
SOCIAL ZONE - Appropriate for informal, social, and business transactions;
conversation occurs at normal to raised voice levels
INDIRECT - A type of light dispersion that casts light up onto the ceiling
WALL BRACKET - A lighting fixture that gives both an upward and
downward ways of light, difficult to achieve on an inner wall
TASK LIGHTING - A type of lighting directed at a specific area or object
THE LARGER THE AREA OF A SPACE, THE LOWER THE AIR TEMPERATURE
SHOULD BE - Thermal comfort is dependent not only on air temperature
but also on relative air humidity, the radiant temperature of surrounding
surfaces, air motion, and air purity. To achieve and maintain thermal
comfort, a reasonable balance must be reached among these factors.
TROMP L’OEIL - A drawing or painting that uses perspective and shadow to
create the illusion of three-dimensional objects.

, DIRECT GLARE - Caused by the brightness of light sources within our
normal field of vision. The brighter the light source, the greater is the glare
potential.
SPECIFIC - Lighting for atmosphere, interest, and unusual effects
COVE - Fixtures attached to the wall, directed upward and give a feeling of
height
70 - 200 FC - Acceptable light levels for detailed tasks like drafting and
reading
HIGH LEVEL OF GENERAL AND DIFFUSED LIGHTING - For bedrooms, what
are the best and most effective illumination levels?
GENERAL ILLUMINATION - Utility rooms must be lighted for?
INDIRECT LIGHTING - The general lighting for living rooms is best obtained
by?
FIXTURE - It is the physical structure that holds the lamp and other
necessary and decorative parts.
REFLECTOR LAMP- A type of incandescent lamp that has a hard-pressed
glass covering and as the name implies, a built-in reflector to enhance
distribution
DIMMER - A device used to control the amount of light produced by
charging voltage or current applied to the bulb or tube.
FOOT-CANDLE - The unit of measure of the amount of light falling on a
surface. SQF (LUX-SQM)
FUSION-BONDED CARPET - These carpets are constructed in facing pairs
with the pile embedded in the backing on each side, then cut apart to
create cut pile. They are used for heavy foot traffic, such as in airport
terminals.
ANALOGOUS COLORS - Warm colors are considered to be?
MOVEMENT - In Architectural interiors, if the material is four-dimensional,
what is its properties?
CARPET CUSHIONS - Carpets that add resilience, lessen impact noises,
can significantly extend the life of a carpet. They are most commonly used
with residential carpets. However, some types will compress too easily and
are not durable under heavy traffic.
