CREATED LIGHTING FOR MANY DIFFERENT PROJECTS AND VENUES. THIS IS ONLY A FRACTION OF A DEMONSTRATION BECAUSE I DID NOT SAVE COPIES OF MY OWN WORK. I DID NOT ANTICIPATE MAKING THIS WEB DEMO/ PORTFOLIO. OVER 4 YEARS I DID MANY DESIGNS.
LIGHTING CALCULATIONS WERE TYPICALLY DONE USING LIGHTING SOFTWARE . NOT HAND CALCULATED.
TYPICALLY,I WAS GIVEN FLOORPLANS AND A SPECIFICATION OF THE AREA TO BE ILLUMINATED. I THEN ANALYZED THE LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT AND USED LIGHTING SOFTWARE TO DETERINE LIGHTS QTY AND ARRANGEMENT, TO INCLUDE SPACING AND HEIGHT ABOVE THE WORK AREA.
I DID NOT ANTICIPATE MAKING THIS WEB SITE FOR A VERIFICATION OF MY SKILLS WHEN I WAS DOING THIS TASK. BUT TO THE RIGHT YOU WILL SEE A LISTING FOR "ONE PROJECT" AND THE MANY "VSL" FILES I GENERATED WITH SOFTWARE FOR LIGHTING VARIOUS SPACES THROUGHOUT A SINGULAR FACILITY.
I THEN DRAFTED THE ARRANGEMENT INTO A LIGHTING DRAWING- SPECIFIYNG SWITCHES, CALCULATING WIRING AND CONDUIT AND SHOWING THE LIGHTING CONDUCTOR RUNS.
THIS ALSO INCLUDED VARIOUS TYPES OF LIGHTING AND MOST CASES SELECTING FIXTURES AND BULBS TO MATCH LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS.
THEN TO SHOW WIRING BACK TO THE LIGHTING /POWER PANELS AND CREATING PANEL SCHEDULES FOR DOCUMENTATION.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE MORE COMPLEX DESIGNS I ENCOUNTERED FOR A RELIGIOUS FACILITY. THERE WERE A HUGE NUMBER OF LIGHTS OF VARIOUS TYPE FIXTURES.
LIGHTING WAS TO BE CONTROLLED BY A CONTROL STATION, REQUIRING ME TO DO RESEARCH AND CONSULATION ON TYPES OF CONTROLS AND PROPER OPERATION TO DESIGN THE LIGHTING SCHEMES.
SPECIFICATIONS FROM THE "PE" DID HELP. BUT IT WAS A "DOMED ENCLOSURE" FOR THE MAIN HALL SO I DID REQUIRE SOME SOME DESIGN SUPPORT.
