Ambient Light for locating and scanning books, and for reading and research at tables
Light Sources: halogen and fluorescent, natural light
Luminaires:
Hanging fixtures for fluorescent lamps. Lamp is not visible. Cover is a grid so light is diffused.

Fixture for halogen lamps (bowl shaped down lights) are hung high above tables, so are not great for task lighting or reading for long periods of time. Lamp is not visible because there is a lens on the fixture and it diffuses the light

There is a yellowish cast to the light.

Natural light enters through tall windows on the East and West sides of the space.

Above hanging fixtures, ceiling is not illuminated.

Colors appear slightly dull. The room is well lit. The level of illumination provides a relaxing atmosphere to the space and encourages quiet behavior.
