This paper discusses the lighting design process and proposes an improved strategy which provides a holistic approach including human response to the appearance of the whole visual environment. In particular, it considers the aspects of visual function and amenity, integration with the architecture and energy efficiency. It draws from previous work, experience, recent thinking and research studies. Both the art and science aspects, together with their inter-relationships, need to be regarded in the process, and a framework for design is proposed. An all embracing approach is necessary if both high quality in lighting and high energy efficiency are to be achieved.
