| Lightning is increasingly used as a design element that provides emotional experiences and enhances affection. This study analyzes the emotions elicited by light and lighting and proposes new scales for the emotional characteristics of light. Impressive light-related experiences were gathered via a survey, and adjectives were extracted to describe light from each experience. A survey conducted with 47 experienced lighting designers yielded 355 examples of impressive lighting experiences, from which 142 adjectives were extracted, and 43 were chosen as evaluation criteria. Using these criteria, 23 participants rated 221 lighting examples. Factor analysis yielded five factors: “Mystique,” “Naturalness,” “Excitement,” “Elegance,” and “Smartness.” Each factor is consists of various adjectives representing different emotional characteristics of lighting. The results shall guide product and space designers to effectively convey desired emotions and affections through lighting. |
