above: example signage for the programmable lighting control shown on the previous
page
Controls and switching should permit separate control of the lighting
above projection and writing surfaces in relation to the other lighting
zones in the space.
The area the presenter typically stands in should be able to lit
independently of writing or projection surfaces. With LectureCast
present in many spaces it is important that the presenter is well lit
even if only low lighting is required on the teaching wall. Without this
independent control the presenter either has to risk the projected
image being ‘washed out’ or has to present in near darkness and
only a silhouette is captured on the LectureCast camera.
If occupancy sensing is used to avoid energy wastage caution
should be employed because a lecture audience or an exam in
a computer cluster room can be relatively static. Therefore to
avoid inappropriate light switching it is important that the sensor
technology employed is capable of detecting static occupancy as
well as movement.
The requirements for emergency lighting in learning spaces is
detailed in UCL Fire Technical Note No: 020.
