- incandescent
- 1 pendant hanging directly above the workspace, 3 track lights directed towards workspace

- poor/warm color rendering
- illumination level is too low for tasks
- more direct task lighting is needed, as well as a higher color rendering ability



3. High Intensity Discharge

6. Cold Cathode

- the luminaires are pendants with transparent glass globes
- the lamps create bright ambient light throughout the space
