Light Distribution

Light distribution describes how the light from a light source or luminaire is distributed within a room or across a surface. It encompasses the direction, intensity, and uniformity of the light, all of which significantly influence visual comfort and ambiance. The distribution depends on the luminaire’s design, the beam angle, the reflectors or diffusers used, and the position of the light source.

A distinction is made between direct light distribution, in which light is directed specifically onto a surface, and indirect light distribution, in which light is reflected off ceilings or walls to achieve soft, glare-free illumination. Combined light distribution systems use both approaches for a wide range of applications.

Well-designed light distribution is essential for optimal room illumination, whether to create a pleasant atmosphere in a living space, provide glare-free lighting for workspaces, or highlight specific objects. It contributes to the efficiency and functionality of modern lighting systems.
