What is diffused light and what is it used for?
Richard Kelly referred to the light for general perception as "ambient luminescence," meaning "light to see (by)." This form of light provides illumination and ensures that we can see the space, objects, and people around us.

The most important points
- 1Flood a wall with light from ceiling to floor when you want a single surface to shape the entire space.
- 2Use diffused light when you want to avoid harsh shadows and create a calm, glare-free base brightness in a space.
