The Lighting Council Australia (LCA) has published its Creative Lighting Guide aimed mainly at consumers and electrical contractors. The guide aims to introduce consumers and contractors to the various types of lighting available to fulfil the visual, emotional and biological aspects of lighting.

Impressive lighting enhances the beauty of buildings and maximises value. It is critically important to the use of a particular space and the mood to be created in that space.

The guide outlines the human response to light and the different types of light that can be used to highlight architectural features, add interest, relax or stimulate and provide functional outcomes for various tasks from simply safe movement through to detailed work. It also uses various images to illustrate real scenes and the lighting used.

Guide users should note that Lighting Council Australia members agree to abide by its code of conduct and supply products that comply with Australian regulations and standards
