What people are saying about ICOL courses

Fundamentals of Light

by Peter C

"This Fundamentals of Light course provided me with an introduction to the essential knowledge required to understand lighting both from the scientific and artistic perspectives The course was a valuable learning experience as it challenged my thinking regarding the application of light - previously I had thought about lighting in purely commercial terms, giving little attention to it's quality - quality of the fixtures, quality of the lighting design, quality of the end result produced by a good lighting design. I liked the 2 x half day format as it gave me time to consider the course material, the quizzes were fun and the discussions with the facilitator were both interesting and helpful”

Course Overview



The problem with most lighting designs is that they are

  • Technically Based

    Designs that are based on facts and figures only

  • Consider only one dimension

    Designs that rely on floor or the desktop illumination only

  • Compromised

    Designs that have been created by committees often result in uninteresting solutions

  • Ignore the color of finishes

    Designs that use the wrong lamp colors and intensities and so compromise the visual experience

  • Overdone

    Designs that provide too much light, including unwanted glare

  • Incorrect fixture selections

    Designs that use the wrong fixtures that produce poor lighting effects
