Orientation
Orientation lighting is defined first and foremost by the task of providing orientation. This can be achieved by luminaires that function as sources of illumination or as signals. Illuminating the room is of secondary importance here; instead, a row of these luminaires is typically arranged to form an orientation line.
Low illumination levels are sufficient for orientation purposes. Small luminaires with high luminance clearly set themselves apart form their surroundings.
