Direct Lighting

All light is aimed downward into the space
This method is very effective at delivering light to work surfaces
Bright luminaires against a dark ceiling can cause reflective glare
A dark ceiling may cause a visual "cut off" line in the space
Scalloped light patterns on the wall can occur

Indirect Lighting

All light is "bounced" off the ceiling and dispersed throughout the space
The ceiling acts as the "light source"
Creates a soft, uniform lighting environment
Minimal glare on V.D.T.'s and desktops

Direct/Indirect Lighting

Variable combination indirect ambient light and direct task light
Indirect component creates uniform illumination throughout the space
Direct component improves system efficiency and boosts task illumination
Optical control minimizes glare in V.D.T.'s

Tubetec manufactures a number of direct, indirect and direct/indirect luminaires to create environments that give quality lighting at an affordable cost.
