Forming functional zones
Observation  | Conclusion  | Applications
Light can be used to emphasise individual functional zones in an area, e.g. traffic areas, waiting areas, and exhibition areas. Zonal lighting with delineated beams of light visually separates one area from another. Different illuminance levels establish a perceptual hierarchy and direct the viewer's gaze. The differentiation of light colours creates contrasts and emphasises individual zones.
