LIGHTING Meaning and
Definition
-
Lighting refers to the deliberate arrangement and utilization of artificial or natural light sources to create a desirable visual aesthetic or to fulfill functional requirements in a given space or setting. It encompasses the techniques, fixtures, methods, and design aspects involved in providing illumination within an architectural or theatrical context.
In interior design, lighting plays a pivotal role in enhancing the overall ambiance and mood of a room, while also serving practical purposes such as illuminating specific areas for tasks and ensuring safety. It involves the selection and placement of various lighting fixtures, including lamps, chandeliers, and recessed lights, as well as determining the intensity, direction, and color of light emitted.
Theatrical lighting, on the other hand, revolves around the art of using light to visually portray emotions, define spaces, and highlight performers on stage. It involves the use of specialized lighting instruments, such as spotlights, floodlights, and gels, to create specific lighting effects, color washes, or transformations of scenery. The lighting design in theater often aims to reflect the intended atmosphere of a scene and convey the intended narrative elements.
Regardless of the context, effective lighting design requires a consideration of factors such as the desired mood or effect, the function of the space, the characteristics of the light sources, the placement and direction of fixtures, and the control systems utilized to manipulate lighting levels and effects. A proficient understanding of how light interacts with various surfaces and materials is essential in achieving the desired visual impact and overall success of the lighting design.

Etymology of LIGHTING
The word "lighting" can be traced back to the Middle English term "lightnynge" or "lihtynge", which was derived from the Old English word "lihting". This Old English term originated from the verb "lihtan", meaning "to shine" or "illuminate". The Old English verb itself can be traced to the Proto-Germanic word "leuhtijaną" and ultimately to the Proto-Indo-European root "*leuk-", meaning "to shine" or "light". Over time, "lighting" came to refer specifically to the artificial illumination of a space, usually achieved through lamps, bulbs, or other devices.
