Is Reflected Light Pleasing?
1. At night, in a room with a pale-colored wall, bring in one or two table lamps with opaque shades that throw the light in only one direction (for example, a reflector clamp-light or an auto trouble light. 2. Turn out all other lights. 3. Put the lamps close to the wall and direct the light toward it. 4. Observe the quality of the reflected light on people’s faces and how the room looks.
