EUT 339E - Basic Design Principles of Lighting Luminaire

Course Objectives

A lighting luminaire has to fulfill all its expected functions in terms of lighting technology, beyond being a decorative element. Lack of designers with enough technical knowledge has caused great difficulties and inaccuracies in the production of lighting luminaires. Nowadays, manufacturers of lighting devices, trying to put out new functional designs beyond imitation, are in search of designers who know the lighting technique. It is aimed to provide basic technical knowledge of lighting technique and luminaire design to industry product designers.
