 | Course description :
This course is an introduction to lighting techniques. It begins with the basic principles of photometry, then the different lamps and their applications are compared. Finally, some matters regarding interior lighting are presented.
Contents :
Basics of photometry, lamps, security lighting, introduction to the lighting project. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
 |
|
 |  | Lighting |

 |
 | At the end of the course, it is intended that the student will be able to:
- understand and apply the basic photometric quantities used in lighting techniques,
- understand recommendations, technical documentations or standards published in the lighting techniques literature, in particular concerning security lighting,
- apply the basic laws of photometry (for example to calculate the illuminance in simple situations),
- identify the different types of lamps, their properties and applications. |

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
 |
|
 |  | Lighting |

 |
 | Basic mathematics and physics for engineering studies. |
|
 |
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
 |
|
 |  | Lighting |

 |
 | First of all, this course is organised in modules, each of them consisting in a general presentation ex cathedra, followed by applications and exercices with the teacher. Sometimes, these exercices are included in the general presentation.
Some labo demonstration can be organised, if possible.
It is recommended that the students actively participate to the general presentation by answering questions and formulate critics. Also during the exercices, the students must be equipped with a calculator.
It is also recommended to read and understand the theory and exercices of the previous lesson before assisting to the next one. Additional exercices will also be proposed: it is strongly recommended that the students try to solve them by themselves and ask the teacher to evaluate their solution. |
