Interior Lighting Systems

A lighting system is composed of the photometrically effective parts of a lighting installation and their arrangement and networking. The lamps or the LEDs or OLEDs permanently installed in luminaires are selected according to the lighting criteria to be achieved. Luminaire selection is determined, among other things, by the lighting task and the luminous intensity distribution curve in conjunction with the room geometry (see Sect. 6.4). However, a lighting system in the narrower sense is often understood to mean only the luminaire arrangement (lighting layout) in the space or at the workplace. This term will also be applied in the following.
