In lighting design, the lumen method, (also called zonal cavity method), is a simplified method to calculate the light level in a room.The method is a series of calculations that uses horizontal illuminance criteria to establish a uniform luminaire layout in a space.
A light plot, lighting plot or just plot is a document like an architectural blueprint used specifically by theatrical lighting designers to illustrate and communicate the lighting design to the director, other designers and finally the Master Electrician and electrics crew.
Architectural lighting design is a field of work or study that is concerned with the design of lighting systems within the built environment, both interior and exterior. It can include manipulation and design of both daylight and electric light or both, to serve human needs. [1] [2] Lighting design is based in both science and the visual arts.
This is a list of lighting design software for use in analyzing photometrics, BIM (Building Information Modeling), and 3D modeling. The software is typically used by importing the structural design via CAD files. Then lighting elements are inserted. And finally, the lighting objects are associated with a photometry via IES files.
Lighting design as it applies to the built environment is known as 'architectural lighting design'. Lighting of structures considers aesthetic elements as well as practical considerations of quantity of light required, occupants of the structure, energy efficiency, and cost.
Architectural style wiring diagram, with lamps and switches shown symbolically in their physical locations on the plan view of the building. Architectural wiring diagrams show the approximate locations and interconnections of receptacles, lighting, and permanent electrical services in a building.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed a new alternative to skylights called hybrid solar lighting. This design uses a roof-mounted light collector, large-diameter optical fiber, and modified efficient fluorescent lighting fixtures that have transparent rods connected to the optical fiber cables. Essentially no electricity is needed ...
