The Wawa Lighting Podcast

En este episodio de The Wawa Lighting Podcast , nos metemos a la base técnica que sostiene prácticamente todo lo que hacemos como diseñadores: la norma ANSI/IES LS-6-20 . Hablamos de cómo se construyen los cálculos de iluminación desde cero: iluminancia, luminancia y flujo luminoso, y cómo estos conceptos viven dentro del software que usamos todos los días. Más allá de los números, exploramos qué...

En este episodio exploramos la norma ANSI/IES RP-43-25 , un documento clave que redefine cómo debe diseñarse la iluminación en espacios peatonales exteriores. Analizamos por qué hoy ya no basta con “iluminar bien”, sino que es indispensable hacerlo con responsabilidad ambiental, reduciendo la contaminación lumínica, el resplandor del cielo y el impacto sobre los ecosistemas nocturnos. Hablamos de...

¡Iniciamos con la versión en Español! Para este inicio, descubre el legado brillante del Año Internacional de la Luz y las Tecnologías Basadas en la Luz 2015 (IYL 2015) y la celebración continua del Día Internacional de la Luz (IDL). Proclamado por la Asamblea General de la ONU... y coordinado por organizaciones como UNESCO..., el IYL 2015 fue un esfuerzo global que involucró a miles de socios en...

In this chapter, we continue to explore a comprehensive comparison of electric light sources, including incandescent, halogen, fluorescent, and LED technologies. We discuss their key features, such as efficacy, lifespan, color rendering, and dimming capabilities, while examining the principles behind each type of lamp. The conversation highlights the applications and limitations of these light sou...

In this first part of chapter nine, we explore a comprehensive comparison of electric light sources, including incandescent, halogen, fluorescent, and LED technologies. We discuss their key features, such as efficacy, lifespan, color rendering, and dimming capabilities, while examining the principles behind each type of lamp. The conversation highlights the applications and limitations of these li...

In this episode, we explore key terms and definitions from various glossaries of lighting terminology. We cover a wide range of topics, including light sources, luminaire types, optical properties, measurement units, design techniques, and aspects of human visual perception. Designed to serve as a comprehensive resource, this conversation is perfect for lighting professionals and enthusiasts looki...

Welcome to The Wawa Lighting Podcast. An entirely podcast produced using NotebookLM's Deep Dive. In this episode, we dive into excerpts from two textbooks that explore the complex nature of light. The first source takes a semiclassical approach, treating light classically while examining the quantum behavior of atoms. It covers key phenomena like stimulated emission, absorption, spontaneous em...

In this episode, we explore a collection of insights from various books and articles on the topic of daylighting in architecture. We take a look at the history of daylighting in building design and its significant impact on energy efficiency, health, and well-being. The episode also covers different strategies for incorporating natural light into buildings, such as the use of windows, skylights, a...

Welcome to The Wawa Lighting Podcast. An entirely podcast produced using NotebookLM's Deep Dive. In this episode, we explore the intricate relationship between light, the human eye, and perception. We begin by examining how the eye functions as an optical system, processing light and forming images on the retina. The conversation also highlights the essential role of the brain in interpreting...

In this episode, we dive into three essential sources that explore the physics and perception of light. The first, Physics and Optics of Radiant Power, offers a comprehensive look into the fundamentals of light, including wave-particle duality, electromagnetic radiation, and the mechanisms behind light production from various sources such as incandescent lamps and LEDs. Next, Spectral Illumination...

In this episode, we dive into an excerpt from the book Architectural Lighting: Designing with Light and Space, which explores the core principles and practices of architectural lighting design. The excerpt highlights six key visual principles — illuminance, luminance, color and temperature, height, density, and direction and distribution — and how they shape our perception and experience of spaces...

In this episode, we explore the key concepts of light and its application in design, drawing from three essential sources. First, Lighting Fundamentals gives us a foundational understanding of how light behaves, interacts with materials, and plays a crucial role in shaping visual perception. Next, Lighting for Interior Design delves into the physics of light, examining different types of electroma...

Welcome to The Wawa Lighting Podcast. An entirely podcast produced using NotebookLM's Deep Dive. Have you ever wondered why we need darkness? Join us as we explore "The Darkness Manifesto" by Johan Eklöf, uncovering the surprising ways light pollution impacts our world. It's not just about stargazing – artificial light disrupts nature's delicate balance, affecting everything fr...
