If you're a lighting designer, chances are you've been asked to light a space with a lot of windows. And if you're like most lighting designers, you probably dread it.
Windows are a pain to light because they let in so much light. And when there's too much light, it washes out the colors and makes it hard to see the details in the space.
So, how do you light a space with a lot of windows without making it look like a wash of light?
The answer is: you disable the lighting.
That's right, you turn off the lights.
Now, before you write me off as a crazy person, hear me out.
When you disable the lighting, you're essentially turning the space into a black box. And black boxes are great for lighting because they absorb all the light.
So, if you turn off the lights in a room with a lot of windows, the room will become a black box. And then you can light it however you want without worrying about the light from the windows washing everything out.
Of course, you can't just turn off all the lights and leave the room in complete darkness. That would be a disaster.
Instead, you need to use a technique called light painting.
Light painting is a technique where you use a light source to paint light into the darkness. It's like using a brush to paint light onto a canvas.
And it's actually pretty easy to do. All you need is a flashlight and a dark room.
Here's how it works:
Turn off all the lights in the room.
Close the curtains or blinds to block out any light from outside.
Turn on your flashlight and hold it at arm's length.
Move the flashlight around the room, painting light onto the walls, furniture, and anything else you want to see.
Take your time and be creative. You can paint whatever you want.
When you're done, turn on the lights and see your handiwork.
Light painting is a great way to light a room with a lot of windows because it allows you to control the light. And it's actually a lot of fun. So, the next time you're asked to light a space with a lot of windows, don't dread it. Just disable the lighting and light paint your way to success.
