A study on the effects of lighting on social interaction
by Ida Moe Evensen
Socially interactive people are happier and have less health problems. During nordic
winters people isolate themselves indoors, get more depressed, are less active and live
more unhealthy [1]. Improvements in lighting is proven to increase mood which has
a direct impact on behaviour [2]. This study compared three different light settings
in a living room environment, to assess the effect of light on social interaction. The
study found that people interact more with their surroundings in light settings with
high light ratios, where objects with social connotations are the main focal points. In
contrast, people interact more with each other in low level lighting. The paper suggests
that illuminating objects with stories from the external world connects the interior
with the exterior environment, whilst dim environments builds a wall that makes it
harder to engage in social activities. The findings take a small step in the direction
of understanding the ways we are affected by light and hope to inspire future lighting
design and research to develop interior schemes that enhances social interaction.

Chapter 1
Introduction
This first chapter presents the hypotheses set out, the aim of the study and the structure
of the paper. Relevant research on background material to support the study is presented
and provides a stepping off point for the design of the study described in chapter 2.
1.1 Hypotheses
There is a general problem across the northern part of the hemisphere that too much
time is spent inactive indoors in winter, which can lead to several health problems
including depression and obesity [1]. Studies have found that lack of social relationships
heightens peoples susceptibility to illness [3] and that happy people are more socially
active [4]. There has been a vast majority of studies proving negative health benefits
due to underexposure to daylight [5] and increasingly larger surfaces of buildings are
made of glass to allow daylight entrance. During dark winter months in the north, these
windows works against their purpose and appear to absorb the light from the room and
create a wall between the interior and exterior environment.
This paper wish to reconnect the interior with the exterior by the use of domestic lighting
techniques. The hope is that a lighting scheme that reminds the dweller of the outside
world will encourage him or her to contact friends and stay physically active, instead of
spending hours in front of the TV. The paper aims to get a better understanding of the
ways which artificial light affect mood and behaviour, to be able to manipulate it. The
author puts forward a theory that: domestic lighting schemes that illuminate objects
reminding residents of their social life will make them more eager to move away from
their current environment, and increasing levels of social interaction.
1
Chapter 1. Introduction 2
Three interior lighting schemes have been designed as a proof of concept to show differ-
ence in amount of social interaction, or if there is any change at all. An hypothesis has
been set out for each light setting:
People are less active and communicate less in dim environments.
People are less cheerful and interact less with each other and their surroundings
in down-lit environments.
People interact more with each other and have an increased interest in their sur-
roundings when objects with social connotations are highlighted.
1.2 The Effects of Lighting
An American Gallup on U.S. health habits in winter [1] report that Americans exercise
less and eat less healthy during winter than during the summer months. The ongoing
Gallup show that this drop was consistent from 2008 to 2012. In the dark months of the
year we show a tendency to be less fit, have difficulties concentrating, slower response
time and eat more which increases our body weight and blood sugar levels. It has
been found that improving indoor lighting conditions may help optimize everyday social
behaviour and mood across seasons [6]
McCloughan stated already in 1998 that lighting had an impact on mood and linked
illuminance with sensation seeking [7]. Participants were asked to assess mood after 5
and 30 minutes of first entering a room. There was no differences in the assessment of
the positive affect or sensation seeking between the two times, suggesting that the visual
impacts on mood can be determined after short exposure time.
“Almost nothing of the last 50 years interior research has found its way
into lighting standards or practice, in the light technical sense”
W. Julian, comment on paper by Boyce[8]
Peter Boyce summarises research on lighting conditions for interiors up till 2003 [9]. His
paper highlights that most research on interior lighting has focused on visibility and
visual comfort, which has given us a good understanding on which lighting conditions
cause visual discomfort. However, we still do not fully understand the impacts on lighting
on health, wealth and safety of people. Boyce writes that there is a need for further
research, but not more of the same. Future studies need to move beyond visibility and
Chapter 1. Introduction 3
visual discomfort to areas where lighting operates on mood and behaviour to understand
the impacts on health and task performance.
In an attempt to improve living conditions for the interior Houser et.al. explored the
subjective responses and the perceptions of space [10]. Exposing subjects to 11 different
lighting settings in a classroom they used paired comparisons and semantic differential
scaling in two different studies. The scales gained a deeper insight into which light
settings were more effective at eliciting specific subjective impressions. Light settings
where the indirect component had a horizontal illuminance contribution of 60% or more
were favoured. Subjects reported that the room appeared more spacious when more
light was supplied indirectly, as the walls and ceiling contributed to overall brightness
when the work plane illuminance was held constant. The subjects were clearly able
to discriminate between the different light settings, which suggests that it is worth
considering uplight/downlight photometric distribution because occupants are able to
discern the differences. Gathering data using a semantic differential scale proved to
be a good measurement tool and Houser et. al.s study provides helpful background
research for lighting office and work environmens, but is not directly translatable when
considering lighting preferences for a domestic interior. The preferred levels of lighting
in a classroom exceed those of which in a living environment [11], where inhabitants
usually aim to relax instead of focusing on a specific task or being productive.
“There is, as yet, no firm consensus among the lighting designers and
researchers on the psychological aspects and impressions created by lighting.”
Durak A. [12]
Durak et al. conducted an experimental study to investigate how the qualitative aspects
of space (the impressions of a space) could be enhanced with lighting [12]. Three different
lighting arrangements; general lighting (downlighting), cove lighting and wall washing
was installed in a room designed to look like a study space. One hundred participants
chose the most suitable lighting arrangement for different impressions under 500lux
illuminance, and in the second stage compare the chosen lighting arrangement in 500lux
and 320lux. Wall washing at high level was preferred for spaciousness and order, whilst
low level cove lighting for relaxation and privacy. This suggests that private spaces
are considered more relaxing, and that people are less able to relax in larger, bright
surroundings. The paper concluded that different lighting arrangements and varied
illuminances of the same lighting arrangement effect peoples impressions about a room.
Chapter 1. Introduction 4
“The currently accepted notion that the basic purpose of general lighting
practice is to enable performance of visual tasks is examined and found to
be lacking in substance.”
Kit Cuttle, 2013 [13]
There are few lighting standards for a living room interior. The standard for lighting
public lounges are suggested 200lux in the SLL Code for Lighting [11]. A public area
would be expected to have higher illumination leves than a domestic home, thus no
standard applies to this experiment. The lighting industry is currently under a gradual
change from measuring light only on the horizontal plane (task areas), bringing attention
to luminance changes on the vertical plane and field of view [14].
Kit Cuttle proposed in 2012 [13] two new criteria for lighting design with the visual
experience in focus. The first assesses adequacy of illumination for an activity in terms of
the density of reflected light from surrounding room surfaces, and the second is concerned
with how the luminaire luminous flux is directed onto selected target surfaces. Directing
attention to different target areas within the interior, Cuttle propose to use illuminance
ratios to control the perceived differences of the interior environment. The differences
are: noticeable, distinct, strong and emphatic and their proposed illuminance ratios
1.5:1, 3:1, 10:1, and 40:1 respectively.
In 1983 J. Simpson conducted a survey of 101 homes which compared differences of the
chosen illumination levels in the living room to those set out in the CIBSE/IES Code
[15]. The light levels were inadequately low in the majority of cases. The paper discuss
that many of the accidents in the home could have been avoided with higher illumination
levels. Even though this is an old study the author believes this shows that we don’t
light our homes for visual clarity, but for liveliness and cosiness which is also reported
in the 2013 study by Liu et al [16]. Their experiment investigated the effect of lighting
on the perception of atmosphere in a living room. The results showed that “liveliness”
and “cosiness” were sufficient dimensions to describe the atmosphere of a living room.
The Bartlett School of Architecture suggested in 1979 that complexity and brightness
should be looked at together [17]. The two parameters “visual lightness” and “visual
interest” was determined in one of their early studies as two of the most important
parameters for lighting. Loe et al. did a study in 2000 that investigated lighting ap-
pearance and light pattern [18]. By installing four different light schemes and combining
them in four different ways, they used 10 bipolar semantic diffferential scales to asses
the perception of the different lighting environments. They found that all installations
that were rated as the most stimulating and comfortable were also the brightest, and all
combinations of two or three lighting techniques. These preferred lighting schemes were.
Chapter 1. Introduction 5
Their result suggest that to create an interest in the lit environment several lighting
techniques should be combined. This experiment only had 12 participants who all were
studying or working within the lighting industry. Determining specific changes in light
levels using professionals is a good way to introduce a theory, however it may not reflect
the general assumption of the population as lighting specialists are bound to be more
critical and observant of changes in luminance.
Different techniques have been used to measuring the subjective response to interior
lighting. Houser and Tiller used paired comparisons and semantic differential scales in
a study to assess subjective responses [19]. They concluded that both techniques have
strengths and weaknesses and that when using semantic differential scale, they should
be complemented by data using another method.
Hawes et al. measured the effect of four workplace lighting on perception, cognition and
affective state [2]. They present evidence that “cognitive task performance improvements
can be directly predicted by changes in mood state”. The experiment presented in this
paper will assess immediate changes in mood, which would effect changes in cognitive
behaviour long term. Hawes et al. used the POMS scale to measure mood that consists
of 65 adjectives rated by subjects on a 5 point scale. A few shortened versions have
sucessfully been made of the test but still consist of 24 items and four scales [20]. The
Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) is a shorter mood questionnaire which
has been evaluated to be a reliable and valid scale to assess mood, and used in several
lighting studies over the years [21][22][23]. The PANAS scale was designed to reflect
hierarchical structure of self-rated affect [24]. The report measure positive and negative
mood using a 20 item self-report measure. The test evaluates 10 positive and 10 negative
items by using a 5 point scale. The scale points are: 1 “very slightly or not at all”, 2 “a
little”, 3 “moderately”, 4 “quite a bit” and 5 “extremely”. The negative scale includes
the words: afraid, scared, nervous, jittery, irritable, hostile, guilty, ashamed, upset and
distressed. The positive scale shows the words: active, alert attentive, determined,
enthusiastic, excited inspired interested, proud and strong.
Experiments on behavioural changes by light would usually look at circadian changes
over a longer time period, measuring amount of sleep, melatonin, seratonin and other
medical changes [6]. This paper is limited on time and will not measure circadian change
but look at immediate behavioural changes. Behaviour is defined as the way in which
one acts or conducts oneself, especially towards others [25] so will be measured through
observations. Kobayashi found in 2013 that light can improve interpersonal relationships
in various spaces [26]. Couples were observed while sitting down at an open air cafe in
Tokyo in summer during night and daytime. The study looked at posture, volume of
speech, personal distance and facing direction. Comparisons were done between couples
Chapter 1. Introduction 6
with two males, two women and mixed pairs. The couples consisting of two women kept
a closer distance between each other during conversations and kept more frequent eye
contact than male couples. Male couples spent less time in conversation than both the
other two couples. The study concludes that lighting influence several communication
factors (voice, distance, direction facing, eye-contact and seating posture) and urges
future lighting designers to design according to each situation. These methods used to
measure behaviour are also relevant for indoor environments.
Towards the design of the study, ordinary living room environments were looked at to
create two common lighting schemes, and current lighting designers inspired a third
scheme. The renowned lighting designer Mark Major explained that although we design
for vision, being able to see is not the most important part of lighting design [27]. Major
states that perception should be the main focus of a designer. A designed environment
should tell a story about its surroundings, using light as a language. Major argue that
we often over light our surroundings, trying to illuminate every corner of a space instead
of highlighting interesting areas of the space to narrate a story. Speirs and Major
lighting design company have shown in their many award winning designs how spaces
can tell a different story at night by highlighting selected areas, allowing the viewer to
experience the same space differently night from day. We do not have to reinvent light
to create interesting schemes but keep a close communication between the lighting and
architecture, allowing our environments to affect us in a positive way.
1.3 Personal Motivation
The author grew up in Norway with close family living north of the polar circle, and has
experienced both the midnight sun and dark winter months. Personal experience from
Nordic winters sum up the basis of this study with a thought-experiment:
Imagine yourself in a Scandinavian home in June. You got home early and are standing
in the day lit living room looking out the window. What do you feel like doing? Sit
down in the sofa to watch TV, or go out to, perhaps to the park and meet some friends?
Now imagine the same space in January. You turn on the living room lights as the
windows are pitch black and the outside world quiet. What activities tempt you now?
Do you rush out to meet friends or is it more tempting to curl up on the couch to watch
the latest episode of your favourite TV show?
Regarding the amount of articles encouraging us to get out in winter, it is likely that
you felt more tempted to stay inside in the second scenario. In summer it seems easier
Chapter 1. Introduction 7
to get out of the couch and get in touch with people, whilst the winter darkness make
us forget there is a world outside to explore.
Social interaction is defined as the way people talk and act with each other [25]. For
clarity, this paper will use the term to refer to the amount of which people talk and
interact with each other. Research show a change in behaviour from summer to winter.
UK households spend an average of four hours of watching TV every day, almost 10
hours more a week than during the summer months [28]. A 30 year long study by
the University of Maryland concluded that unhappy people watch more TV [4], which
relates to the reported increase in depression in winter [29]. The researchers asked their
subjects to keep diaries for a 24 hour period reporting how pleasurable they found each
activity they did. The conclusion that “self-described very happy people were more
socially active, attended more religious services, votes more and read more newspapers”
are backed by the General Social Survey [30]. The strong link between TV watching
and mood suggest that a change in people’s mood consequently change their behaviour.
A study from 1988 told their participants to hold a pencil between their mouth while
watching cartoons to see if the change in facial expression affected their mood [31]. The
people that were instructed to hold the pencil lengthwise between their teeth forcing a
smile found the cartoons funnier than those who forced a frown, by holding only the
pencil tip between their lips. The study suggest that changing people’s behaviour also
change their mood.
“People who are isolated but healthy are twice as likely to die over the
period of a decade or so as are others in the same health”
James House [32]
People living in todays society are both more connected and more alone than people
were before the word of social media. In “Bowling Alone” Robert D. Putnam writes
on how we count high numbers of friends on Facebook and followers on Twitter, but
when it comes down to it we have no one with whom we can go bowling [33]. In an
article drawing on American research on loneliness, Seligman writes that even though
we have more friends online we have fewer close friends to confide in than we did a
decade ago [30]. She interviews Harvard teacher and psychiatrist Jacqueline Olds who
explain that people feeling depressed or obsessive often dont realise that they are simply
feeling lonely. Researchers have tracked the effect of loneliness and social isolation on
our physical health for decades. According to a study by University of Chicago, 20
percent of all people are unhappy because of social isolation at any given moment [30].
Lack of social relationships heightens peoples susceptibility to illness. [32]. A research
team from the University of Chicago lead by J.T. Cacioppo, discovered that isolation
Chapter 1. Introduction 8
affects how the brain operates, and that the brains of lonely people react differently than
those with strong social networks [3]. The researchers identified that the region of the
brain that is associated with rewards (ventral striatum) is significantly less activated
in lonely people. The region associated with taking the perspective of another person
(temporoparietal junction) is also much less activated among the lonely.
Dynamic lighting has shown to have positive health benefits during winter time. A study
on female permanent morning shift workers last year showed that dynamic lighting has
a calming effect, and positively influences sleep and anxiety/depression ratings [34]. A
2010 study showed that even without significant circadian improvements dynamic light-
ing was the more preferred lighting condition, in spite of higher reports of disturbance
due to direct light and reflections [35]. Daylight is almost always the preferred light
condition when compared to artificial lighting, even though it can bring glare and high
contrasts to a space. It seems that dynamic lighting has the same qualities.
1.4 Chapter Summary
People stay more inside during dark winters and are more affected by feelings of depres-
sions, loneliness and isolation, making them less healthy and sociable and more prone to
develop mental disorders like depression and loneliness. The impact lighting has on our
mood and behaviour has not fully been confirmed, and industry professionals propose a
shift in the lighting industry towards a stronger awareness of the human health.
The majority of research on lighting within the interior has looked at office environments
and focused on visual attributes of the space to improve productivity and happiness of
workers. Few studies have undergone real life experiments that expose subjects to differ-
ent light settings, analysing change in mood and behaviour in relation to the domestic
interior. If studies on domestic interior continues to focus on visibility, it is a risk that
studies on interiors will no longer be taken seriously.

Methodology
Aiming to encourage social interaction in winter, the author wanted to develop an ex-
periment that examine the effects of lighting in interiors on social interaction. A study
was designed to explore if different light settings make us interact more with each other
and our surroundings. This chapter aims to clearly explain the development of the
experiment.
2.1 Design Research
A living room environment was designed to feel as “homely” as possible to not feel like a
laboratory. The living room is one of the main rooms in the home that encourages social
behaviour with multiple seating options, often directed towards each other. With an aim
to increase interaction in the home, the living room was chosen as the room of study.
Using a real living room for the experiment would have too many variables, including
the difficulty to block out daylight and maintenance of the space. It was required that
the space could not be used by others over the two weeks the experiment was taking
place to present it in the same state to each participant. A living room installation was
built inside a container to have full control over external exposure. Subjective mood
and perceptions were to be evaluated through questionnaires, and a hidden camera was
angled towards the participants to analyse movement and physical behaviour.
2.1.1 Experimental Room
The researcher came in contact with iGuzzini lighting who owns a showroom container,
normally used to display the companys most current luminaires. The container already
had recessed downlights and wall lights integrated, and made it possible to exclude any
9
Chapter 2 Research Design 10
external light interference. The internal walls and ceiling were white, whilst the floor
was dark grey. Dimensions and details about the space are shown in table 2.1. The
approximate distance from the head of the participant to the TV was 2meters. The
“dim”, “down” and “shelf” headings in the tables refer to each individual light scene

The container was designed to feel like an average living room. The furniture was bought
at Ikea, apart from a large bean bag used as a sofa which was borrowed from iGuzzini’s
UK headquarters. Personal experience and discussions with friends and colleagues sug-
gested that most living rooms have a TV-stand and a bookshelf within viewing angle
from the sofa. Popular books, DVDs, video games and art objects was placed in shelving
units under and next to the TV. Two plants was placed on either side of the shelving
and curtains hid the left container door to imitate a window wall. Similar to an interior
after sunset, there was no light entering from behind the curtains. A rug covered the
floor under a coffee table placed in the centre of the room. An aircondition unit was
placed in front of the curtains, to control that temperature and airflow was the same
for all participants. A camera was hidden in a tissue box in the bookshelf, to prevent
change in behaviour due to being filmed.
Alcoholic beverage and popcorn was provided on the coffee table at the beginning of each
45 minute session. The provision of beverage and popcorn was sponsored by iGuzzini
lighting. In addition to functioning as a helpful convincing argument to bring in par-
ticipants, it was also by means of helping them relax, and feel less like a test subject.
Popcorn was chosen as a snack because it is generally more healthy than crisps, and
because it would be easier to see on the video recordings how much they ate.

2.1.2 Illumination
The illumination levels are measured at both the horizontal and vertical planes. Table
2.3 shows the illumination level referenced with the code on the plan and sections. The
horisontal (H) measurements was angled upwards, whilst the vertical (V) oriented away
from the closest wall, towards the centre of the space. The lux meter was oriented
downwards on the horizontal plane (H.D) to measure the amount of lux arriving at
the ceiling (code 15). Luminance values were not measured, thus illumination levels on
the vertical plane with the pictures from the space helps to indicate of how much light
arrives at the eye. The colour temperature was the same for all luminaires except the
Chapter 2 Research Design 13
uplighter which was 300Kelvin (K) warmer, a difference which was not noticed within
the view from the bean bag to the TV.

2.1.3 Light settings
Discussions with people on usual light levels while watching TV returned two different
schemes that was the base for developing the “common” living room schemes: “dim”
and “down”. The third scheme: “shelf” focused on lighting on the vertical plane. Graph
2.3 shows the lux levels in each space. The positions refer to the numbers on the plans
and elevations. Table 2.4 show which luminaires were turned on in each setting. The
specification sheets for all luminaires can be found in Appendix A.
2.1.3.1 The Dim Light Setting
The Dim setting represents the light levels occurring when people watching TV late
in the evening(See figure 2.5 and 2.6). Discussions with people prior to the design of
the study, reported that people often start watching TV before sundown, and although
other rooms in the house may be lit, it can often take hours for viewers to turn on the
light in the TV room. Wall lights behind the viewers were used to represent other rooms
of the house being lit. The Trick Radial luminaires from iGuzzini give out a radial glow
as well as providing a strip of light on the edges of the back wall. The light from these
fittings were not visible for the participants when watching TV allowing the room to be
dimly lit.
2.1.3.2 The Down Light Setting
Due to many years focus on horizontal illuminance in the lighting industry, and inex-
pensive LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) entering the market, downlights have become
a common sight in many new homes. The down light setting represents this common
solution of downlights (See figure 2.7 and 2.8). Three recessed iGuzzini Laser Blade
miniature luminaires with 10 optical elements of LED lamps distributed light across the

Chapter 2 Research Design 16
floor surface. These down lights have a narrow beam angle thus the brightest area was
across the table in the middle of the space. Being lit solely from above, this light setting
had quite high contrasts in shadow and a harsh modelling.
2.1.3.3 The Shelf Light Setting
Recent discussions in the lighting industry on vertical illumination and lighting of spe-
cific task areas[14] was the inspiration for the third light setting (see figure 2.9 and 2.10).
Linear LED strips Underscore were installed inside each shelf, lighting the objects within
it. One floorstanding uplighter from Ikea was placed in the back corner of the space to
give a “homely feel”. The two Trick Radial wall fittings represented other rooms in the
house being lit. This light setting was the brightest one of the three. Due to a broken
dimmer switch, the shelf lighting would have created too large contrasts if being the only
light source, thus it was decided to rise the overall light levels in the room, to decrease
the illuminance ratio. The shelf lighting was designed to pull focus away from the TV.
Illuminance measurements in the shelves was taken only 150mm from the light source at
point 4 and 300mm at point 3 (table 2.3) and in the shelf setting setting pointed directly
towards the source, resulting in extremely high lux levels. Nonetheless, a reduction of
2300lux with a 150mm change in distance point out the quick drop in light levels when
moving away from the source. The author wish to make a note that the images that are
taken of each space does not give justice to the light levels in the space. The brightest
areas did not look as bright in real life, in particular in the shelf setting.
2.2 Study
2.2.1 Subjects
24 participants participated in the study. 15 male participants and 9 female. Four
couples consisted of two males, one of two females, and seven of the couples were mixed.
19 subjects were of British origin, one from Zimbabwe, one Polish and two Italian. There
was high differences in daily hours of watching TV, rating from 0.5 to 60 hours a week,
with an average of 15 hours per week. The study had a wide variety of participants,
but excluded people working with lighting or interior design to represent the average
population. Approximately half of the participants were selected from the high street in
the city centre of Guildford. The average age was 27.5. The percentage of participants in
the different occupational categories of unemployed, student and professional was 8.3%,
8.3% and 83.3% respectively. The participants came from a wide variety of professions
Chapter 2 Research Design 17

Figure 2.10: Shelf setting, view from entrance
Chapter 2 Research Design 18
(appendix D. The percentage of participants in each age range (20-30, 31-40, 41-50,
51-60) was 71%, 25%, 0% and 4% respectively. Some of the couples were in an intimate
relationship, while one couple did not know each other. The rest were good friends.
To make the setting as realistic as possible, friends were selected as one would not
normally share ones own sofa with a stranger. Apart from once mixed couple (P9 and
P10), the subjects all knew each other. When sat down this couple kept a greater
distance between them but spent less time in silence. Their mood results did not differ
much from the rest of the group, but the activities thought of more often related to
leaving the room than the other subjects.

The participants were invited in pairs to watch a 30min episode of Master Chef (season
7, episode 1). The program was chosen as an example of an ordinary TV show that is
often broadcasted and does not require full attention from the participant. As alcohol
and the interest in the TV show could influence results, the groups were exposed to
the different light settings in different orders. Six sequences were made so the order of
which each couple went through the light settings were randomised, shown in table 2.5.
Participants P1 to P4 was part of the pilot study and are not included in the results.
Each pair sat themselves down in the large bean bag and were left alone in the space
to watch the show. After 10 minutes the researchers came in, paused the show, and
gave the participants questionnaires about their mood and their perception of space.
The questionnaires were finished in private in the same light setting. Once finished they
Chapter 2 Research Design 19
were asked to step outside, while the researchers closed the door to the container and
changed the light setting without the participants observing transformations of the space.
After being exposed to daylight for approximately 60 seconds, the subjects stepped back
inside and seated themselves in the bean bag and the TV show was resumed. The same
routine was repeated after the next 10 minutes and at the end of the show.
The TV program was not exactly 30 minutes long, and some couples came out before
the subtitles finished. This made the last sequence approximately a minute shorter than
the two first for some groups. This variable should be excluded from the randomising
of order.
2.3 Independent Variables
Some independent variables between the subjects are considered:
Age
Effects of light can differ between people of different gender and age [22]. The
study had a higher percentage men than women, and an overrepresentation of
participants below 30 years of age. The results from the participants outside the
main age group did not differ significantly from the main and the results will be
looked at in whole.
Gender
Females preserve mood better than males [22], and the higher rate of males can
affect the mood results of the study. With only one sample of female-female couple,
a comparison between the type of couples would be discriminatory and not return
trustworthy results. Only a larger study could compare results between gender
effectively, thus gender comparisons is excluded.
Cultural
Preferences in lighting can possibly differ between cultures [23], which can impact
the results. However, the participants had all lived in England more than 6months,
and was considered to be culturally climatised. Most of the participants were living
in Guildford at the time, but the different personal backgrounds should exclude
location impacts.
TV watching
Someone spending large parts of the day watching TV, is likely used to a darker
light environment than a non TV viewer and light preferences could differ. With
Chapter 2 Research Design 20
a wide spread of daily TV hours, the group represent a good variation of the
population.
2.4 Questionnaires
2.4.1 Mood
Mood was measured using the PANAS scale. Three different examples of the scale was
made where the words were randomised in order to exclude repetition of pattern. The
participants were asked to answer quick and intuitively to the questionnaires, without
over-analysing each mood. The original questionnaire can be found in Appendix A.
2.4.2 Perception
The perception of space was tested in the form of a semantic differential scale. The 15
different scales selected is shown in table 2.6 and was hand picked to gain knowledge of
a range of different perceptions (appendix A).
The participants were asked to set a cross closest to the word they found suited the
space. An example is shown below:
Dark Bright
The scale did not have names or numbers assigned on the questionnaire to avoid any
misinterpretations of expressions. When referred to in graphs and results the in following
chapters the five choices has been given the labels fully and mostly to be able to refer
to the correct choice in the results chapter. An example is given below:
Fully pleasant Mostly pleasant Neutral Mostly Unpleasant Fully unpleasant
Participants were also asked to write down the first three activities that come to mind.
This question was included to compare if people consistently thought of similar types
of activities in the different settings. To avoid influence on the answers it was decided
not to prepare a list of activities to choose from, but group the answers in different
categories later.
2.5 Video Recordings
Data was collected from the video recordings to determine how much of the time in
the container was spent without conversation. To be able to measure amount of time

the couple was not interacting, conversation was considered stopped after 15 seconds
of silence. These occurrences will be compared between each light setting and also
between the order of which the setting was experienced. Data on consumption of food
and beverage was gathered, as the level of alcohol or enjoyment of food could influence
mood and behaviour, and a large intake should be compared with the mood scores.
“Sequence 1” refers to the first light setting each couple was exposed to, “Sequence
2” the second setting and “Sequence 3” the last setting. Still frames taken from the
video recordings were taken every 12th second and used to measure change in distance
between the two participants, if they were focusing on the TV, their fellow participant
or looking around in the space. After completing the experiment, the participants were
briefly asked about their preferred light setting.
2.6 Limitations of the study
2.6.1 Time constraints
It would have been preferred to do a long study to measure biological changes as well
as visual, but with only a couple of weeks access to the experiment space the study
focused on sudden changes in mood and perception. McCloughan’s study found that
the visual impact of a space would stay consistent after 5 minutes [7]. 5 minutes was here
considered to short an adjustment time due to the complexity of the environment and
amount of questionnaires. The pilot study included three different 20 minute episodes
but there was a drop in interest from participants to join a 90minutes experiment. 10
Chapter 2 Research Design 22
minutes was decided to be a sufficient adjustment time and was short enough to get the
acquired amount of participants.
2.6.2 Location and funding
IGuzzini lighting supported the study by providing a space, giving support during both
the installation and execution of the study and paying for all furniture that was bought.
The container was positioned by iGuzzinis UK headquarters in Guildford, just outside
London. More than half of the participants were randomly selected from the main street
in Guilfords town centre, and driven the 5 minutes to iGuzzinis headquarters to partake
in the study.
2.6.3 Season
This study has been developed from an interest in decreasing feelings of depression and
loneliness during dark winters. Studying peoples reactions to the light during dark winter
months would have been preferable, as people would be used to living rooms lit only by
artificial lighting. However, the study was constrained to take place during one of the
brightest summer months in the UK. With the container placed outside the participants
was asked to enter from a bright and sunny exterior to a small space without any access
to daylight. This might have influenced their feelings about the space differently than if
they entered from a dim winter environment. To make sure this did not affect the first
sequence only, the participants were asked to step outside between every setting. Even
if daylight impacted mood, this excluded an extreme change from daylight exposure
before just the first sequence and aimed to bring the participants to the same mood
before every setting. There was an unavailability of fans and air condition units due
to the exceptionally high temperatures throughout the length of the experiment. This
led to a delay of several days while these were procured, to avoid decrease in mood or
behavioural changes due to temperature changes.
2.6.4 Resources
Measuring brain activity and biological changes could have given detailed data of mood
and visual responses to the environment. Without equipment to measure this video
recordings was decided as the best method to record behaviour, however lack of time
and appropriate software limited the extent of which the recordings could be analysed.
In the making of the test the shelf setting was originally being dimmed up and down to
mimic the dynamic changes of an external environment. Unable to program a system
Chapter 2 Research Design 23
that dimmed the lights on a set sequence, it was not possible to control the adjustments
of illumination level. The pilot study proved that the change in light levels gave too
many variables to be able to compare it to the other two settings and dimming was
excluded. The shelf lighting was possibly the light setting with the most variables, and
a separate study could look at the effect of dimming alone.
The LED strips in the top two bookcase shelves was somewhat visible when seated in
the bean bag. If installed in a real living room scenario the strips would preferably be
integrated into the shelf or hidden by a reflector, to not be visible when seated.
2.7 Chapter Summary
A full scale living room installation was designed to compare three different lighting
schemes, to obtain results that is applicable to real life. The environment built has
been considered sufficient to gain relevant feedback on changes in mood and behaviour
by using the PANAS questionnaire to measure mood, a semantic differential scale to
measure perceptions of the space, a word test to look at the desire to do different
activities and video recordings to analyse behaviour.

Results
This chapter will report the results from the experiment to test the hypothesis, which
will be further discussed in detail in the next chapter.
3.1 Mood
The PANAS questionnaire is divided in the negative (3.1) and positive (table 3.2) moods.
Figure 3.1: Average negative mood scores
The average scores on the PANAS scale for the negative moods were 1.17, 1.23 and 1.32
for the dim, down and shelf setting respectively (table 3.1). There was more agreement
among the participants over the dim setting with a standard deviation (SD) of 0.49.
Participants had an overall agreement with a low score on all negative moods. Option
1 was chosen for over 80% of the participants in all settings for afraid, ashamed, hostile

and upset. It was also chosen for 75% or more for guilty, irritable, nervous and scared.
Some of the of the participants felt slightly distressed (34% chose option 1 and 2) in the
shelf setting a bit jittery in the down setting, but option 1 was still chosen by 67% or
more participants in all settings. All the graphs for the negative moods can be found in
appendix B and have not been included in the paper to avoid repetition of insignificant
data.
Figure 3.2: Average postive PANAS scores
The average scores on the PANAS scale for the positive moods were 2.38, 2.38 and 2.27
for the dim, down and shelf setting respectively (table 3.2). The dim setting also had
the lowest standard deviation among the positive moods. The positive moods showed
greater variations than the negative with ratings from 1 to 5 in almost every mood.

3.3 Activities
The participants were asked to mention the first three activities that came to mind after
each lighting environment. The responses were categorised into eleven different topics
based on the answers; physical activities, TV/film, consuming, work, social activities,
cooking, relaxing, reading and play games, leaving and other (table 3.4 and figure 3.4).

3.4 Behaviour
The video recordings showed that about 50% of the participants noticed the camera at
some part during the study. At the notice of the camera, there was usually a 1 minute
conversation about the nature of the study. After the passing of an average of 2 minutes
the participants seemed to ignore the camera and did not show any changes in behavior
to that before the discovery.

The values in table 3.6 refers to each time the participant took a sip of beer. More bever-
age was consumed in the last sequence, and less in the second sequence and shelf setting.
Both the amount of alcoholic beverage and popcorn is measured from 12 participants
due to time constraints.

The numbers in table 3.7 refer to the number of popcorn pieces eaten. More was eaten
in the second sequence and the dim setting. The subjects ate less popcorn in the first
sequence and the down setting.
Chapter 3. Results 31
Figure 3.6: Direction of view
Figure 3.7: Average distance between the subjects
Figure 3.6 shows where the participant held their concentration. The results are taken
from still frames of the video recordings every 12th second. The majority of time is
spent focusing on the TV in all settings. Less time is spent looking at the TV and more
around in the space in the shelf setting.
The distance between the subjects have been grouped in four categories: Sitting head
to head or less than 10 cm apart (Together), head spaced apart (Head spaced), with a
distance of one person between the subjects (Person apart) and separate sides of the
bean bag. The subject spent more time with a large distance between them in the shelf
setting (See figure 3.7). Close to equal amount of time was spent both close to each
other and with a person width apart in all settings, whilst the groups spent more time
head spaced apart in the dim setting than the other two.
Chapter 3. Results 32
3.5 Added observations
It was noticed that the conversation between the two participants revolved more often
about the TV show in the dim setting, and more around the books, DVDs and other
external topics in the shelf setting regardless of the order of sequence. The shelf setting
was also the condition where subjects seemed more curious about the space and the only
condition in which some of the participants walked over to look at things in the shelves.
In discussions with the participants after the study, ten participants shared their lighting
preferences. It was an equal split between the dim and shelf setting as most preferred,
but no one reported the down setting as their favourite.
3.6 Chapter Summary
There is a higher agreement among the negative moods than the positive. The percep-
tions of space vary greatly between the participants. People talk more in dim settings
than in bright environments, and the results show that the participants kept a higher
level of interest in their surroundings in the shelf lit light setting.
Chapter 4
Analysis
This chapter will discuss the findings to acknowledge what was learned from the experi-
ment and the data that was collected from it. The analysis will methodically go through
each of the four forms of data, revisiting the hypothesis and pull together the findings in
the summary. Comparisons will be made to analyse if the findings prove the expected
outcome.
4.1 Mood
It was hypothesised that the dim setting would be the most inactive and relaxing, the
down setting more active but less happy, and the shelf light setting the most active
and interesting. Moods expected to encourage physical interaction are: inspired, alert,
attentive, active, interested, enthusiastic and excited. These moods was expected to
have higher scores in the shelf setting than the dim and down light setting.
A positive PANAS score is the mean of all positive moods and a negative PANAS score
is the mean of all negative moods. High scores on the negative scale means the subjects
feel strongly about the negative moods (want to avoid high scores), while high score in
the positive moods show happy subjects. The dim and down setting shared the highest
positive PANAS score, while the shelf lighting produced the lowest positive scores.
The dim setting was the most emotional light setting, which made the participants
feel more inspired, determined, attentive, and excited. The dim setting had the lowest
PANAS score for negative moods, meaning the participants felt less negative. The
standard deviation in the dim setting was lower than the two other light settings. For a
small sample deviation in responses was expected to be quite high, however, the standard
deviation of the positive moods are approximately twice as high as the negative. It seems
33
Chapter 4. Analysis 34
that peoples preferences for what makes them feel good are more diverse than what
makes them feel depressed. This justifies why the lighting industry is able to create
standards of light conditions to avoid, but have difficulty in presenting light schemes
that are preferred by all.
In the down setting the participants felt more active, proud and strong. It was hypoth-
esised that the subjects would feel more bored and less positive in a downlight scenario
due to the strong horizontal illumination. With the highest positive PANAS scores
(shared with the dim setting) this theory is put on trial. Alert and enthusiastic was felt
to the same extent in the dim and down setting.
The shelf setting brought out the most feelings of interest, as hypothesised. It was also
confirmed to be the most different of the three, with mood scores showing that the dim
and down setting brought out the most similar feelings whilst the shelf setting deviated
with the lowest postitive mood scores.
T-tests were performed to look for statistically significant differences between each of
the light settings. The test compares two settings at a time and returns a P value.
A value below 0.05 indicate there is a statistical significant difference between them.
There was a significant difference between the standard deviation of the average positive
PANAS scores. The dim and down setting varied the greatest from each other, with low
deviations in the dim setting and high in the down setting.

* P value = below 0.05 meaning the difference is significant
The highest PANAS scores among the positive feelings were: alert, attentive and inter-
ested in all light settings. Determined and strong had the lowest ratings of the positive
moods. Although the participants showed to be influenced by these words on a personal
level (see raw data in appendix B) , they were not influenced by the different lighting
conditions in a consistent manner. The wide variety of scores between positive moods
show the complexity on subjective feelings about spaces. Several of the mood scores
had a large deviation with responses in all scores from 1 (not at all or very slightly) to 5
(extremely)in almost every mood. The PANAS questionnaire is subjective and will be
be compared with objective observations of physical changes in behaviour, to justify if
a subjective mood scale reflect behavioural changes.
Chapter 4. Analysis 35
The dim setting showed higher scores than estimated, whilst the PANAS scores for
the shelf setting was lower than expected. Differences in perception, Interest in TV
show, conversation topic, short exposure time are independent variables that could have
affected changes in mood during the experiment and will be discussed in a later sec-
tion. The subjective responses in mood and perceptions will be compared to objective
observations in the end of this chapter.
4.2 Perception
This section will discuss the results from the semantic differential scale. The scale
measures how subjects percieved the space by putting a cross closest to the perception
they feel match the space. The scale goes from -2 to 2, where 0 is neutral. The hypothesis
expect that the participants perceive the dim setting as more lazy, relaxed, isolated and
dark than the other two. The shelf setting is expected to be more energetic, complex,
public and open.
The dim setting stands out from the two other scales with a significantly lower deviation
in responses. Only two of the scales has a standard deviation below 1 in the shelf setting
(lazy-energetic and small-large). The down setting has the highest standard deviation
average, with four scales below one. The dim setting show almost the exact opposite with
only three scales with a standard deviation above one (pleasant-unpleasant, isolated-
open and hazy-visually clear). Table 4.2 show the significant difference in the standard
deviation between the settings dim/down and dim/shelf.

Down/Shelf - 1.121 1.100 2.048 0.721

Independent t-tests of the perception scales showed that seven different combinations in
five scales were of statistical significance: Comfortable-Uncomfortable, Lazy-Energetic,
Tense-Relaxed, Simple-Complex and Dark-Bright. Graphs 4.1 to 4.5 show the individual
result for each of the significant scale. Data from the t-tests for the remaining scales are
included in appendix D.
The dim and shelf settings varied the most from each other with four perception scales
of significant importance. This builds on the finding from the mood section; the shelf
setting differed from the other settings.The participants perceived the dim setting more

lazy, comfortable, simple and dark. The shelf setting was perceived more energetic,
uncomfortable, complex and bright (table 4.3). A perceived lazy impression of the dim
setting backs up the hypothesis that people are more inactive in the dim setting and
more active in the shelf setting. Correlation graphs (4.6) between the lazy-energetic scale
and the comfortable-uncomfortable scale show that a more comfortable environment is
also perceived more lazy, thus the highest correlation is in the dim setting who scored
more comfortable and more lazy in both of these scales.

The down setting was perceived more bright and tense than the dim setting and more
simple than the shelf setting. The more tense perception agree with the mood scores
rating the dim setting as more relaxing. A perception of simple was an expected outcome
as the down and dim setting were designed to present “common” light schemes.

People feel more comfortable in dim settings. Correlation graphs (4.7) shows that the
people that rated the shelf setting as comfortable also found it more relaxing . Graph
3.3 shows that the dim setting is rated the most private. The increased feeling of privacy
also imply less of a need to socialise, together with a decreased level of energy suggesting
that people in this condition are less likely to move out of their position. The results
suggest that the dim setting is most to likely to lead to social isolation which can lead
to numerous health issues (see chapter 1)
Chapter 4. Analysis 37
Figure 4.1: Comfortable or Uncomfortable
The dim setting was rated as the most comfortable. No one rated this setting to be fully
uncomfortable, unlike the down and shelf setting which was rated just uncomfortable 4%
and 13% respectively. The shelf setting had the highest rating of mostly comfortable,
but 30% less ratings on fully comfortable compared to the dim setting.
Figure 4.2: Lazy or Energetic
Only the shelf light setting was rated as more energetic than lazy on average. 50%
rated the dim setting as lazy, compared to only 21% on the shelf lighting.
Chapter 4. Analysis 38
Figure 4.3: Tense or Relaxed
All settings were rated more relaxed than tense on average. The dim settings was more
relaxed, with 83% rating it mostly or fully relaxed. Half of the participants rated the
shelf setting to be mostly relaxed compared to 33% of the people in the down setting.
However, the down setting scored 12%higher than the shelf lighting on fully relaxed.
Figure 4.4: Simple or Complex
The shelf setting felt more complex than the other two settings with 17% rating it mostly
or fully complex compared to 4% and 0% in the down and dim setting respectively. Only
38% of the participants rated the shelf setting fully or mostly simple, differing from the
dim an down setting which was chosen on the same criteria by 67% and 59% of the
participant respectively.
Chapter 4. Analysis 39
Figure 4.5: Dark or Bright
The dim setting was the only setting rated more dark than bright, an agreement among
71% of the participants. The other two settings showed large deviation in the feedback
with less than an 8% difference in the choice of mostly dark or mostly bright on both
settings. Overall, the down setting was rated slightly brighter than the shelf setting,
although 8% more people than in the down setting rated the shelf setting either fully
or mostly bright.
From the average results of the semantic differential scales, the dim and the shelf light
setting are the two settings that differ the most from each other on perception. With a
high difference in illumination levels (table 2.3) it would be expected that the dim setting
would be perceived as the darkest one. The low level illuminance in the dim setting does
not obstruct or take away focus away from the TV which is likely why it is the only
setting not to have been rated as fully unpleasant by any of the subjects. On the other
hand, It is interesting to see that on an average the participants found the down setting
to be brighter than the shelf lighting. In addition to having the highest illumination
levels, these levels are all within the main visual field (when viewing the TV) in the
shelf setting. Going back to graph 3.3, notice that the standard deviation in the shelf
setting on the dark-bright scale is significantly higher than in the other two scales. The
down setting had slightly higher illuminance levels on the two end walls (table 2.3),
suggesting that the difference can be due to wall brightness. Difference in modelling is
another theory, as the shadows of the objects on the table (and the participants face
when leaning towards it) was of a harder quality in the down setting than the shelf light
setting. High light ratios in the immediate visual field, and level of wall brightness,seem

Chapter 4. Analysis 41
Figure 4.7: Correlations: Comfortable/Uncomfortable - Tense/Relaxed
Chapter 4. Analysis 42
to affect perception of brightness more than the highest individual illumination level.
This proves the effect of Cuttle’s proposal [13] to use illuminance ratios to control the
percieved differences of the interior.
Increased interest in the dim setting could imply that lower illumination levels make
people more curious of what they can’t see, which conflicts with the theory that the
shelf lighting makes people more curious about their surroundings. However, correlation
graphs between the perception of dark-bright and the level of interest does not show a
statistical significant difference (appendix D).

Scale Down Shelf T P-Value
Simple - Complex -0.917 -0.208 2.013 0.023*
* P value = below 0.05 meaning the difference is significant
On average, both the dim and down setting was found to be simple conditions. The
significant difference between the down and shelf setting is conceivably due to familiarity.
Lighting that is well known or familiar will often seem simpler, than one observed for the
first time. The higher scores in complexity in the shelf setting confirm that it differed
from the two settings designed to be “common” light settings. This notion also matches
with a higher impression of innovation in the shelf setting than the other two. The dim
setting was stated to be most conservative, despite the wall luminaires used creating a
light distribution that differ from most standard luminaires on the market. The author
suggest that the subjects find it less innovative simply because it emits less light, but
mainly because the wall lamps were not within viewing distance from the bean bag.
A space would rarely be considered both formal and fun, and the participants rated
all settings more casual and fun than formal and serious. This is a positive result as a
formal and serious environment would likely inhibit people from relaxing and interacting
with each other. It would also be expected that the participants felt the space quite
confined as the study took part inside a relatively small container. The high level of
respondents that were neutral about the size of the space is surprising, but considered
a positive result about the design of the environment. A higher percentage of neutral
responses in the down setting indicate that subjects cared less about this space.
4.3 Activities
Words related to physical activity was more often mentioned in the shelf setting than
in the dim setting. The more frequent occurrence of words related to relaxing in the
Chapter 4. Analysis 43
dim setting indicate that the participants felt less active and would be more prone to
engage in physical activities after spending time in the shelf setting than the dim light
setting. This correlates with the perception of the dim setting as more relaxed and lazy
than both other settings. The results also agree with Duraks conclusion that a dimly
lit room invites relaxation [12]. A preference for either the dim or shelf light setting
confirms Houser et al.s findings [10], that people prefer indirect lighting.
The high percentage of people that thought of activities related to consuming is expected
when watching a cooking show, but it was mentioned far less in the dim environment.
With slightly higher consumption in the dim setting, this suggests that people eat more
without being aware of it in dim settings.
4.4 Behaviour
Observations of the participants will add to current data and analyse if subjective ques-
tionnaires correlate with actual behaviour. This section will look at the observation
results to test the proof of concept. The dim environment was expected to be less active
and engaging than the down and shelf setting. There was also expected to be more
conversations in the shelf environment.
A significantly higher alcohol consumption in the last lighting sequence can be explained
by participants wanting to finish the beer before they leave. This, however, does not
explain lower consumption in the shelf setting. The brighter lighting environment may
have lowered their need for more drinks, but a neither a t-test or correlation tests between
dark-bright perception and the amount of beer drank showed significant differences (ap-
pendix D). As the down setting was perceived more bright than the shelf setting the
change could not be due to perception of illumination levels alone. Significant difference
in the consumption of popcorn between the settings was not found.
The participants spent longer periods of time in silence in the shelf setting and seemingly
proved the hypothesis wrong. People talk more in dim light settings than bright ones. On
the other hand t-tests between the settings did not return a significant difference and no
strong correlation was found between the perception of a bright space with the amount
of conversation (appendix A). A discussion on the definition of social interaction can
rise from this conclusion. In a future study it could be valuable to have a more detailed
analysis of body language when measuring the levels of social interaction.
There was a larger separation between participants in the shelf setting. This could be
explained by visual abilities and that couples felt a need to be closer to see each other
in the dim setting. It is also reasonable to believe that the dim setting created more
Chapter 4. Analysis 44
of a romantic setting for the couples. The mood results showed an increased feeling of
privacy in the dim setting which may have made the participants feel less hindered to
move closer. At the same time, the shelf setting was the only setting where participants
moved out of the bean bag for short periods of time, creating the largest distances
between them. The movement corresponds with the PANAS and activity questionnaire
results stating that the participants felt more active in the shelf setting thus felt a greater
need to move around instead of sitting still. The increase in privacy that let people move
closer, made subjects more relaxed and comfortable. It is tempting to suggest that the
increased physical contact was the reason for feeling more relaxed, comfortable and
finding the environment more pleasant, and that an experiment with single participants
would not give the same results.

The attention of the participants was, not surprisingly, directed mostly towards the TV.
There was a significant 15% drop of visual direction towards the TV in the shelf setting
(figure 3.6 and Table 4.7 shows the significant differences comparing two and two settings.
There was no significant differences between the dim and down setting. The even result
in time spent viewing the other participant suggest that any lack of TV watching was
not due to the other participant, but environmental changes. The extra 15% of the time
spent to view surroundings in the shelf setting does have a few variables: It was not
noted where the participants were looking other than the three parameters, thus there is
no statistical data explaining if subjects spent more time looking in the shelves or around
in the room. From the videos it is clear that it is mainly the shelf setting that create an
awareness of the objects in the bookshelves, as conversations revolve more around them.
If the same interest would have stayed over time is unclear. The reason for viewing the
space could both be of interest and annoyance: The shelf setting provides the brightest
environment, giving the subjects more to observe. However, they could also be looking
away from the TV due to the shelf lighting being too bright and as a mean of protecting
their eyes. Looking back at the questionnaires, there were few negative reports on either
setting, indicating that the higher percentage of time spent viewing the space was mainly
due to curiosity and interest. Perception scores of the space allude the opposite, as the
dim setting received the highest scores on interest (graph 3.3). Measuring direction of
view every 12th second might not have given sufficient data, creating inaccurate results.
Chapter 4. Analysis 45
It was also more difficult to see the angle of view on the recordings in the dim setting,
with low illuminance levels. On the other hand, the difference in results question if
subjective measuring scales are the best technique to measure perception, as behaviour
does not correlate with mood results.
4.5 The Built Environment
The drastic difference between the levels of illumination was used to show extreme con-
ditions. The downlights gave harsh modelling with strong shadows. Time and resources
limited this short study to use the luminaires already installed, which was found to be
the best solution at the time as a quick installation of downlights with a wider beam
angle would have looked unprofessional and easily be noticed by amateurs. Lamps with
a wider beam angle in a downlight setting would perhaps make them more preferred, as
light would be reflected more throughout the space.
The ratio between the shelf lighting and the wall behind the TV was higher than the
author was aiming for and the ratio suggested by Cuttle [13]. Dimming the shelf lighting
down, could possibly have made them less bothersome to some of the participants, but
still be bright enough to give an interest of the objects in the shelves. Nevertheless the
three settings represented extremes of each case, so the fact that the reports on mood
and perception did not vary more than they did imply that people are less affected by
light than assumed among the lighting profession.
Interest in the surroundings is minimised by the activity of watching TV, which is why
the activity was chosen. If the participants were asked to do more physical activities
making them engage with the space, they might have been more aware of the lighting.
Visual performance tasks requiring more concentration, would have given participants
less time to look around in the room and analyse the space. From the video recordings
however, it was noted that not everyone noticed the change of light at first as often one
of the participants pointed it out to the other. This enlightenment was more often given
by the female in the couple, but not often enough to be statistically significant. The
discovery of the camera did not seem to affect the behaviour of the participants and is
considered trivial.
4.6 Additional Comparisons
The high number of activities mentioned in the shelf setting related to physical activity
does not correspond with the lowest scores in the “active”, “enthusiastic” and “excited”
Chapter 4. Analysis 46
moods from the PANAS questionnaire. From the semantic differential scale the partic-
ipants perceived this setting to be the most energetic, and they were observed to move
around more keeping a wider distance apart from each other. This brings up the discus-
sion that a subjective mood questionnaire might not be the best way to report feelings.
Participants may find it hard to put a number to each separate feeling. On the other
hand, the way the words have been categorised may not reflect feelings realistically as
the same activity could bring out contrasting moods between two people (for example
cooking or work). There are stronger parallels between the semantic differential scale
and the observations from the video recordings than the mood scores. This shows that
measuring behaviour through subjective mood scales does not always reflect physical
behaviour. Subjects behaved lazy when they perceived the space lazy, and energetic
when the space was perceived energetic, without being aware of it. Nevertheless, the
higher reported thoughts on physical activities in the shelf setting indicates that even
in the short span of ten minutes the lighting had an impact on feelings, that can later
lead to changes in behaviour.
The participants thought less of activities related to consumption in the dim setting,
while at the same time time eating more than in the other two settings. The correlation
graphs in figure 4.8 show that the people that were least inspired in the shelf setting
were also the ones that ate the most popcorn suggesting that we eat more when we are
bored.
4.7 Chapter Summary
The comparison of mood, perception and behaviour have brought up a discussion of the
validity of the different measuring techniques. Subjective responses on mood does not
correlate as well to the actual behaviour as the responses on perception does. There
was more examples of social interaction in the dim setting than hypothesised, and less
in the shelf setting.
The dim environment was agreed to be more relaxing, lazy, comfortable, dark and simple
than the other environments. People were observed to be less active and focus mainly on
the TV. The dim setting returned higher levels of positive mood and brought out more
thoughts of relaxing activities after exposure. It is interesting that subjects thought less
of activities related to consuming, while at the same time eating more popcorn than in
the other light settings.
The down-lit setting was perceived to be bright, simple and more tense than the dim
environment. This setting had results that deviated less from the two others. It was
Chapter 4. Analysis 47

Chapter 4. Analysis 48
clear that the dim and shelf settings presented extreme conditions on opposite sides of
the down setting. The down light setting was perceived to be brighter than the shelf
lighting which has the highest levels of illumination and a greater amount of it within the
immediate visual field. The results of this study does not recommend installing down-
lights in a space that is designed for relaxation. There were few drastic changes in mood
or perception which could suggest that down-lit environments feel more emotionless than
spaces that light particular areas.
Lights integrated in the shelf in the third environment aimed to bring focus to familiar
books, films and objects in the bookshelves that could open for conversation topics.
The participants were found to focus less on the TV in this setting and spent more
time looking around at objects in the room. There was a higher level of interest in
the shelf setting and it was perceived to be more energetic, complex, bright and less
comfortable. The participants spent more time moving around, drank less and thought
of more activities related to physical actions, but at the same time reported lower feelings
of activity and spent more time in silence.
Chapter 5
Discussion and Conclusion
This final chapter will first discuss the analysis of the study and what was learned from
the results, if it corresponds to previous work and how new wisdom can guide future
design and research. The last section concludes the findings in relation to the given
hypotheses.
5.1 Discussion
Discussed research suggest that the development of depression more often happens with
people that are less happy, more inactive and watch more TV. Participants were more
active and watched less TV in the shelf setting. However, the increase in positive mood
in the dim setting shows that people were content with the low light levels. Another
argument on the heightened mood is the increased feeling of privacy that made the
couples move closer to each other, gaining more social contact leading to a rise in mood.
In a hypothetical study done with a single participant there would be no one to interact
with, and it is arguable if the dim setting would feel just as positive. Participants also
reported the same level of alertness in the dim and down setting which argues discussed
research that brighter environment makes people feel more focused and productive.
All settings showed high deviations between the responses. A larger amount of partici-
pants could have shown stronger trends in preference, but with the high deviations it is
reasonable to assume that a even higher number of participants would not show strong
inclination towards one setting. The results of the study also give an interesting insight
into how subjective perceptions deviates from actual behaviour. The shelf setting was
the least preferred but also had the highest standard deviations, suggesting increased
levels of feelings about this uncommon light condition. Subjective measurement scales
49
Chapter 5. Discussion and Conclusion 50
risk that participants interpret words using different subjective criteria, even if receiving
an explanation of the scales before the experiment. With a short study and a low number
of participants, the answers are too spread to state the impact on behaviour from the
lighting in each setting. With high differences in illuminance pattern a longer exposure
time would perhaps show clearer signs if some changes in behaviour are due to change
in illuminance levels or variation of lighting scheme. Increased exposure time to each
light setting is likely to show clearer trends in feelings of mood than a higher number of
participants to an equally short study, and is advised for a future study. Measurements
of lumination levels were not executed due to lack of equipment. These measurements
would have been useful in defining the differences of brightness within the visual field.
The illuminance distribution in the two brightest settings (down and shelf) were highly
different, and the difference in behaviour between the settings agrees with Hawkes paper
[2] highlighting the important relation between “visual interest and “visual lightness.
Measuring time spent in silence was found difficult: some couples said a few words to
each other every 25seconds, which gave a result of no quiet time. Other couples had
full conversations for long periods of time broken up by longer breaks, which gave a
result of a lot of quiet time. The original baseline of 30seconds was brought down to 15
which leveled the down and shelf settings as the two most quiet, deviating from the dim
setting. Due to measurement difficulties the results may not reflect well enough with
the actual interaction time. Instead of setting a minimum time for silence, analysis of
body language could perhaps be a better indicator if the two participants show interest
in each other. For this to be done in a living room environment the author suggest using
a simple sofa so the participants are more free to move around. The bean bag shaped
itself under the body making any large movement strenuous, proved by participants who
needed help from each other to get up when they were asked to step outside. It will be
interesting to see if more future studies are able to examine behavioural changes through
analysing body language, as started by Kobayashi in 2013 [26].
The amount of questionnaires was a possible pitfall of the study. The amount of questions
given to the subjects may have added to larger deviations in feedback resulting in less
accurate results. Nevertheless, the comparison between subjective and objective data
was invaluable and has made the author believe that our physical actions can tell more
about the mental state of an individual than subjective mood questionnaires.
This study has given a couple of guidelines about lighting that can be valuable to the
lighting industry: Lighting designers that aim to bring interest to an interior environment
and raise the activity level of its inhabitants are encouraged to explore with vertical
illumination of specific areas of the space. By lighting objects that bring out memories
of social activities, the environment will inspire the occupant to take interest in his or
Chapter 5. Discussion and Conclusion 51
her surroundings. Books, pictures, paintings and artifacts from around the world on
display in the home tells a story of its inhabitant and is often cherished by the owner.
After the TV became the central focus point in the living room, the stories of the interior
is in danger of being forgotten, with the treasured memories they carry. Lighting these
objects will remind occupants of pleasurable events. If the aim is to create a relaxing
yet inspiring environment, the designer is urged to keep the horisontal luminance levels
low and focus on particular vertical areas.
Studies on the effect of correlated colour temperature (CCT) conclude a change in mood
and behaviour due to the effect of CCT. Low colour temperature lighting has been found
to increase impressions of “relaxation”, “comfort” and “spaciousness”[36]. The installed
luminaires in this experiment at 3000K are all considered warm lighting [11]. The low
300K difference of the uplighter should not effect mood changes due to colour as the
luminaire is not within view when watching TV. Further research is encouraged to
include change of colour and illumination levels in a similar experiment. The CCT and
change in light levels has been shown to give changes in mood, which again can affect
behaviour [22].
A study from the 1990’s [37] found that an increase of illuminance gave several positive
associations to the room including; more pleasant, comfortable, warm and less hostile.
Future studies are advised to follow subjects over time, analysing changes in the in-
teractions to their natural environment. Installing different light schemes in a living
environment where subjects spend a lot of time could perhaps return a more defined
result. Few studies has compared the effects of a dynamic change of light on behaviour.
A continuous change in light levels is likely to feel more alive and be a preferred light
condition [35]. The author encourage future research to stay away from lab experi-
ments and conduct studies on the effects of light within environments common to the
participants, with the introduction of dynamically changing light.
Recent technology improvements allow us to have full control of our lighting conditions.
Complex light technology is readily available to anyone interested, and not just lighting
professionals. Recent apps give the power to any amateur to make each lamp in the home
change both in colour and luminance with numerous options of creating dynamic light
settings [38]. With years of lab experiments that have not gained sufficient knowledge on
the effects of light in the domestic interior it is time to look at real homes. Performing
scientific studies in private homes create a vast array of variables that, providing the
study isnt performed on a massive scale, risk inaccurate results. Until a research team
takes on the challenge, the author suggest more individuals to play with their personal
light environments to find their own preference. Knowledge from an array of individual
preferences can possibly aid future design and research.
Chapter 5. Discussion and Conclusion 52
This study was designed with inspiration to improve dark living conditions in Nordic
countries in winter. The findings of the study is largely applicable to other parts of
the world. Any living space that does not have daylight access or lack of it (ex. most
rooms in night time, underground structures or the core of buildings) can benefit from
added knowledge on how light affects the body, to design spaces that motivate people
to interact with each other and their surroundings.
5.2 Conclusion
The theory set out in the beginning of this paper was that “domestic lighting schemes
that illuminate objects reminding residents of their social life will make them more eager
to move away from their current environment, increasing levels of social interaction”.
A proof of this theory hoped decrease feelings of loneliness and depression during dark
winters, and tested three different hypotheses: 1. People are less active and communicate
less in dim environments 2. People are less cheerful and interact less with each other and
their surroundings in down-lit environments. 3. People interact more with each other
and have a higher interest in their surroundings when objects with social connotations
are highlighted.
Within the scope of the research conducted it can be concluded that people interact
more with their surroundings in light settings with high light ratios and where objects
with social connotations are the main focal points. In contrast, people interact more
with each other in dimly lit light settings. Dim light settings contributes to a decrease
in activity levels and make people feel and act more relaxed than in a brighter light
environments. The expectations that integrated shelf lighting would make people more
interested in their surroundings was confirmed, however the study proved two of three
hypotheses wrong by stating the dim light setting as the setting with more conversation.
The definition of social interaction includes both interacting with the environments and
other people, thus the study is unable to conclude which setting encourages more social
interaction.
If dim lighting environments make people interact more with each other people should
feel less lonely in dark winters. As this is not he case, other parameters should be looked
at. A problem raised in the introduction was that people spend more time indoors in
winter, getting a closer connection to the TV than the people around them. This study
show is that people talk more when they sit together, indicating a dim environment
optimal to feel relaxed and gaining a sense of privacy time with a friend. What the
study also suggest, however, is that a person already in a dim setting is less likely to
reach out and contact others. It would be interesting to see if a similar study done during
Chapter 5. Discussion and Conclusion 53
winter give the same results. Both temperature, and season could affect participants
during a short study. The study backs up the use of dynamic lighting. The use of shelf
lighting and high light ratios during the day will raise activity levels and remind the
dweller of the world outside and all the people in it. At night time when it is time to
relax the light levels can be lowered to focus on the immediate surroundings. A future
study is adviced to test on single participants over time, during the darkest months of
the year.
We have been surrounded by light since the beginning of day, yet we still do not under-
stand exactly how it affects us, making it unreasonable to think any lighting research
will reinvent the wheel over-night. This study support current research stating lighting
as highly subjective. The experiment was too small to be able to give any definite con-
clusions on the effects of different lighting on mood and behaviour, but brings valuable
insight into possible changes that can encourage future research. This paper hope to
motivate lighting designers to move away from general lighting schemes and design with
the human in focus. If this paper is able to inspire only a single researcher or professional
to delve into a study on effects of lighting on behaviour, the author will consider the
experiment highly sucessful. Lastly the author would like to clarify that this study was
not set out to return a general standard for lighting living room environments, but to get
an understanding on how each individual could change their own lighting environment
to increase mood and activity levels.

The process of aging as the weakening function of the human brain that leads to cognitive degenerative diseases and physical disabilities usually affect the ability of most elderly in interacting with their immediate environment. This research aimed to analyse the impact of the old supergraphic photos applied in the Abiyoso nursing home, Yogyakarta, on the positive emotions of the elderly. The research involved a sample of 13participants of the elderly aged 60 years and above from 4 different homes in the Abiyoso, nursing home Yogyakarta. This research was to test the previous findings that elements of nostalgia were effective to elicit positive emotions of the elderly and social relations. The research applied a qualitative research method by action research using a supergraphic image of old Yogyakarta city. The results showed that the elderly subjects expressed their positive emotions and enthusiastically interacted with the other occupants while explaining visual perception of every picture contained in the supergraphic. The application of supergraphic induced subjects longing to the places they loved to visit and it was effective to increase desires to scrutinize; liking to invite the other occupants to share; improving pleasures after the advent of supergraphic; willingness to see it again; interests in the presence of supergraphic; improving cheerful emotions, longing, enthusiast, and the feeling of relaxing after looking at the old photos presented had induced social interactions and length of social interaction. The object category of the supergraphic had a dominant impact to positive emotions and social interaction compared to those of tradition and art categories.

This systematic literature review paper explores the use of extended reality (XR) technology for smart built environments (SBE) and particularly for smart lighting systems design. Smart lighting is a novel concept that has emerged over a decade now and is being used and tested in commercial and industrial built environments. We used PRISMA methodology to review 270 research papers published from 1968 to 2023. Following a discussion of historical advances and key modeling techniques, a description of lighting simulation in the context of extended reality and smart built environment is given, followed by a discussion of the current trends and challenges.
Thesis
Full-text available
The main research object of the present study is the quality of lighting in interior spaces and its influence on the user from the biological, psychological and social aspects. Through the review of analogous cases, previous theoretical models and research from different disciplines a Theoretical Model of lighting quality will be developed taking as a structural reference the biopsychosocial model to analyze in the biological, psychological and social dimensions the impact of lighting in the human being; likewise this model will be useful to develop a methodology to assess the quality of lighting in indoor spaces. The trigger for this research is based on the problems detected in interior spaces whose lighting systems of a static nature do not provide in general terms the quality of lighting or the control systems necessary for the creation of atmospheres or lighting environments that allow the comfortable performance of the multiple tasks or activities that take place in the same space and that are also a support in the biological, psychological and social activities that enable to improve the quality of life of the users in the interior spaces where an average of 90% of the daily time is lived. The hypothesis states that when generating the lighting quality model and the evaluation instrument for interior spaces, architects, interior designers, engineers, lighting designers and developers, will have a tool for the solution not only of space visibility problems but also they will be able to solve the biological, psychological and social needs of the human being in relation to lighting, in order to contribute with the increase in the quality of life of the users that live daily in the interior spaces where they perform multiple tasks.

Being elderly is a stage of life characterized by physiological, psychological and social maturity, and degradation. Initial observation has revealed that the elderly rarely interact with other elderly people in communal rooms and activities. Furthermore, they tend to enjoy activities related to music the most. The presence of a stimulus based on hobbies in a communal room through a music game was expected to revitalize spatial function and increase the elderly's life quality. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of a music game and identify the elements thereof, which can influence the elderly's social interaction in a communal room. A quasi experiment was employed and the results were analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed Rank statistics test. The results revealed that communal rooms can function as social space by implementing a music game. Music has an impact on the elderly's social interaction in relation to the time they wish to play, their willingness to invite other elderly people, the type of social contact, duration of interaction, and the number of participants. The choice of a video clip game is an element of a music game, which had a dominant effect on their social interaction in comparison to the choice of singers' pictures and lyrics of notes games. Abstrak Lansia merupakan tahap dimana seseorang telah mengalami kematangan dan kemunduran dari aspek fisiologis, psikologis, dan sosial. Berdasarkan observasi awal diketahui bahwa lansia jarang berinteraksi dengan lansia lainnya di ruang berkumpul dan kegiatan yang paling disenangi oleh lansia adalah kegiatan terkait dengan musik. Kehadiran stimulus yang didasari oleh hobi di ruang berkumpul melalui music game diharapkan dapat menghidupkan kembali fungsi ruang dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup lansia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh music game dan mengetahui unsur-unsur dari music game yang dapat mempengaruhi interaksi sosial lansia di ruang berkumpul panti jompo. Metode penelitian menggunakan quasi eksperimen dan kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji statistik Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ruang berkumpul dapat berfungsi kembali sebagai ruang sosial dengan menghadirkan music game. Kehadiran music game berpengaruh terhadap interaksi sosial lansia berupa waktu keinginan bermain, keinginan mengajak lansia lainnya, jenis kontak sosial, durasi berinteraksi, dan jumlah partisipan. Plihan permainan video klip merupakan unsur di dalam music game yang memiliki pengaruh lebih dominan terhadap interaksi sosial lansia dibandingkan pilihan permainan foto penyanyi dan nada lirik.

The currently accepted notion that the basic purpose of general lighting practice is to enable performance of visual tasks is examined and found to be lacking in substance. It is proposed that the purpose of lighting should be redefined in terms of the visual experience of illuminated surroundings, and two criteria are proposed for this purpose, both of which represent significant departures from conventional practice. The first assesses the adequacy of illumination for an activity in terms of the density of reflected light from surrounding room surfaces and the second is concerned with how the luminaire luminous flux is directed onto selected target surfaces. Taken together, these criteria offer a quite new approach for designing lighting installations for general practice.

The notion of stages of the lighting profession is examined to identify the main themes that have directed the objectives of the lighting profession. It is proposed that the objective of the first stage was provision of uniform illumination over a horizontal plane, and that of the second stage has been to provide illuminance suited to human need, based on visual performance. This brings us up to the current era, and it is the author’s opinion that the second stage has failed to achieve its objective. While codes and standards pay lip service to visual performance, the reality is that for the vast majority of situations where lighting standards are applied, the aim is to meet user expectations for the spaces they occupy to appear adequately lit. The metrics currently used to specify, measure, and calculate lighting levels are inappropriate for this purpose. The concept of mean room surface exitance is proposed as a basis for lighting standards. Procedures for calculation and measurement lead to some startling conclusions. Familiar notions of lighting effectiveness and efficiency are turned upside down, and an entirely different way of thinking about interior lighting design is revealed. The essential difference is a switch from assessing light incident on planes to assessing light arriving at the eye. Such a change of thinking may be seen as a precursor for the third stage of the lighting profession.

An experiment has been carried out to investigate the effect of lighting on the perception of atmosphere in a living room, using three types of light sources: halogen, fluorescent and LED lamps. In a psychophysical experiment, 29 native Chinese observers assessed eight lighting conditions having different luminances and correlated colour temperatures. For each condition, 71 scales were employed using the categorical judgment method. Factor analysis identified two underlying dimensions: liveliness and cosiness. This agrees with those found by Vogels who used Dutch observers to assess atmosphere perception. Both observer groups also agreed that an increase of luminance would make the room more lively. However, there were also some disagreements such as a higher CCT source would make the room more lively for Chinese observers but less lively for Dutch observers. © The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers 2014.

It is perhaps to be regretted that the regular arrays of recessed luminaires, the most common way of lighting offices, are the least preferred. Possibly in a windowless environment the lack of any view to give visual variety exaggerated the low ratings of such situations. Possibly the quality of the luminaires (particularly the prismatic ‘batwing’ which was rated very low) could be improved. Possibly the experimental procedure which did not allow the subject to work for a long time in the same environment made variety more desirable. But certainly the indications from this study are that subjects prefer other ways than regular recessed luminaires to light their offices. Complexity and brightness together: perhaps that is what people want in the lighting of their offices.

Light-emitting diodes (LED) are becoming an increasingly common lighting option for industrial applications, offering superior power efficiency and longevity relative to conventional fluorescent technologies. This study examined the visual perceptual, affective and cognitive implications of equipping temporary military shelters with either fluorescent or one of three advanced LED lighting systems with varied color temperature and luminance. Twenty-four volunteers were each tested over the course of five consecutive days, including a practice session and four test sessions, one for each of the lighting conditions. Volunteers showed highest visual acuity as measured on symbol identification and color recognition tasks with LED relative to fluorescent lighting and this effect was greatest at highest color temperatures. In terms of psychological and cognitive performance, volunteers showed increased fatigue ratings with fluorescent relative to LED, and this effect was associated with slower response times on tasks measuring spatial and verbal memory.Relevance to industryRecent increases in the number of LED technologies being incorporated into industrial lighting applications carry implications for worker performance. We provide evidence that these advanced lighting technologies can promote increased alertness and visual cognitive efficiency among workers when compared to more traditional alternatives.

Paired comparisons and semantic differential (SD) scales were used as part of a larger study assessing subjective responses to linear fluorescent direct/indirect lighting systems. Two experiments were performed under identical lighting conditions, one with each technique, yielding independent subjective response data sets for the same light settings. This article compares independent multidimensional scaling solutions from the two datasets and describes an intercorrelation analysis of the SD scaling responses. These analyses highlight strengths and weaknesses of the two psychometric techniques. Guidance is offered for applying paired comparisons and SD scales in future lighting research.

For many years, lighting research for interiors has been focused on the twin topics of visibility and visual comfort. The result of this effort has been the development of a validated model that allows the prediction of the effect of lighting and task conditions on visual performance, and an understanding of the conditions that cause visual discomfort. This paper considers whether any more research on lighting conditions for interiors is needed. The answer given is that more research is necessary if we are to fully understand all the impacts of lighting on the health, wealth and safety of people, but not more of the same. Rather, the future of lighting research in interiors lies in a move beyond visibility and visual discomfort to areas where lighting operates on mood and behaviour through the ‘message’ it sends and on health and task performance through the circadian system.

Reports of the effects of lighting on mood are mainly at an anecdotal level There is little by way of empirical support and the existing evidence is problematic and contradictory. This experimental study shows that there are systematic influences of lighting on mood from lighting parameters within the range of those encountered in everyday interior conditions. The nature of the lighting effects is complex and is best summarised as initial effects and longer-term effects. Initial effects link illuminance with sensation seeking and correlated colour temperature (ccr) with hostility. Longer-term effects involve complex interactions between gender, illuminance and CCT. The results are consistent with Küller's proposal for short-term and long-term lighting effects.
