1.1 Background
The word ‘ambient’ can be defined as atmosphere, environment, feel, setting, mood and character. Lighting and ambience is somehow related to human daily life. However, various interpretations of ambience coupled with lighting manifest themselves in our environment. According to Narboni, 2006, the ambience is the result of and interaction between, light, a space and use. This interaction will influence the feel of that particular space. Meanwhile, atmosphere is defined as developing an integral perception of physical presence that is always rooted in a continuous exchange of energies and signals with the surrounding environment.
Since long time ago, people are attracted to light and how light can give impacts on ability to function and creating specific experience in a place or space.
