Description
In Europe the 130 year old incandescent pulp is being exchanged to energy saving light sources like LED. The change has impact on our perception of light and indicates that light is a changeable sixe in our build environment. In Denmark we have had discussions about the EU charter and the end of the incandescent light. With a better light and color rendering it seems strange to take it out of the market - exchanging it with a poorer light. However these discussions have only taken place in Scandinavia - not in the southern parts of Europe. This fundamental change in lighting therefore also implies a fundamental difference in our perception of light and in our lighting culture. In this paper I will try to describe the origin of these differences and try to reestablish light as more than just quantities in the environment.
