This is a type of luminaire mounted directly to the wall surface.
What is a sconce?
100
Integrating this feature into a window system allows light to reflect off a surface into the space, therefore reducing glare and heat.
What is a light shelf?

On a reflected ceiling plan a round circle, o, typically represents this type of light fixture.
What is a recessed light fixture?
200
This type of lamp requires a ballast in order to electrify the phosphors inside the lamp for it to glow.
What is a fluorescent lamp?
200
This type of luminaire is the most versatile allowing adjustability and directional control.
What is track lighting?
200
LEDs generally use this much less energy than incandescent lamps (percentage).
What is 80%?
200
When you have a highly textured wall surface that you want to highlight, you want to position the lighting to achieve this lighting technique.
What is grazing?
200
If you are designing a bathroom, salon, or intimate restaurant where the coloration of someone's face is important, you should pay close attention to this criteria on a lamp specification sheet.
What is a low or warm color temperature?
300
This type of lamp would have the following information on the specification sheet: 12V, 100CRI, 3000K, 4000HR. (It is either a compact fluorescent, halogen, or high pressure sodium.)
What is a halogen lamp?
300
This would be the most appropriate lighting selection for highlighting art or another flat feature on a wall surface.
What is a wall washer?
300
These type of energy efficient lights contain carbon-based materials pressed between a thin glass covering.
What is Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED)?
300
In retail or restaurant spaces, this figure found on a lamp specification sheet is crucial for ensuring the colors of the products or food looks appropriate.
What is Color Rendering Index (CRI)?
300
In addition to the lighting symbols, this is a critical component to identifying the lighting on a reflected ceiling plan.
What is the tag?
400
A lamp which has a 2700 Kelvin Color temperature would provide a more orange OR more blue glow.
What is more orange (warm)?
400
In order to prevent glare in a healthcare environment, commercial kitchen, or other location where critical tasks are taking place, the luminaire should have this incorporated.
What is a diffuser?
400
This type of device recognizes the amount of sunlight coming in a window and appropriately adjusts the level of artificial light to save energy.
What is a daylight sensor (or photosensor)?
400
In educational facilities, studies show that this type of lighting is the most important to incorporate into the space.
What is daylighting?
400
This figure is used to calculate the general distance between ceiling mounted/recessed fixtures on a reflected ceiling plan.
What is the spacing criteria?
500
Low voltage lamps require this piece of equipment in order to illuminate.
What is a transformer?
500
This is a shielding device in a luminaire made up of criss-crossing lines to redirect light and prevent glare.
What is a louver?
500
This is the baseline energy standard adopted by most jurisdictions to control the amount of light energy used by buildings.
What is ASHRAE 90.1-2010?
500
The most successful lighting designs contain these (3) lighting components or types.
What are general OR ambient, task OR focal, and accent OR sparkle lighting?
500
This organization publishes the appropriate lighting levels in (FC) for various space types, which should be considered in your lighting projects.
