luminescence

Each individual star emits a small amount of light, but all the stars put together can create a great amount of light.
A nightlight is used as the only source of light in a space, just enough to create a sense of comfort.
The moonlight cast just enough light into the night to be able to see, while also being romantic and calming.
Lamplight mostly casts downward light, but also provides lighting for a space.
The contrast of the sky creates a strong effect in the overall effect of the lighting.
A sunrise creates a glow in the sky, slowly waking up the world.
Depending on the direction of the light source, effects the shadow that is created from the object.

Designers:
This is a piece done by Dale Chihuly. I've always thought that he was an incredible artist and all of this pieces and beautiful. This specific piece shows the light and how it shines through the stained glass.
Marcel Wanders is the designer of this piece. I think its amazing because the light source is open at the bottom but light is also filtering through all of the holes. The structure of the light source almost looks like lace, which helps soften the hardness of the huge structure.
Shigeru ban is the designer of this. The spaces and the crossing patterns help bring in a lot of light. The spaces give the lighting a nice texture.
Yves Behar designed this lighting system. As soon as I saw it, I automatically fell in love with it. I think it is beautiful with the different colored beads and the whole in the middle. The light is centrally illuminated from the center.

I love hanging light fixtures because they have a greater appearance in a space. I also love how they do a very good job at lighting as space, while casting a shadow onto the walls that they surround.
