Light Effects

Sometimes, various lights can affect the moods of the beings it shines upon. There is the theory of color as it relates to different feelings and moods. so is the same for lights. when there are lights in different shades and hues, they can affect the intensity at which emotions are felt. Further than just plain colors painted on something, the lights can be mixed, controlled, moved, blended, and adjusted in brightness. Scientists have studied the effects of lights shining from far away and lights shining up close. Bright lights have a different affect than low lights. it can also be experimented with in ways of measuring the heat that is emitted from lights. Some lights burn hot, and others are cool. Unlike plain color, lighting has several dimensions to be experienced with the senses. It can be seen with the eyes, but it can also be felt via heat or lack thereof. There is also the possibility of smell, as different lightbulbs burning have various scents due to the chemicals. Lights don't always come from bulbs but sometimes they come from other chemical reactions. The lights can also be heard, as some bulbs or other methods of lighting are noisy. when lights click and flicker, it also provides a certain effect. the steady flashing of a light, or gentle fading transition, or abrupt and erratic patterns can evoke different feelings in the being who is observing the lights.   Lights can seem harsh and make one feel as if they are small and being watched. Some lights can be warm and comforting. Some lights can make one feel excited, invigorated, and energized. Different light sources also have different effects. If the light is coming from a lightning bug or firefly, for example, the effect might be differernt than if the light is being emitted from a candle or an open fireplace. a single lightbulb hanging in the center of a dark room has a different effect than several colorful spotlights swirling around on the ceiling of a club accompanied by the lgiht up squares on the dance floor.     Lightning in the sky, along with the loud thunder that comes with it can make one think of rain or storms. The light from the sun can make one feel joy and warmth. the light from distant stars can inspire wonder and curiosity, also stirring up nostalgia and long lost dreams of times past.   Light can be associated with different events in a person's life. It can bring back good or bad memories.   Light can also be a weapon. it can hurt your eyes, it can burn you, it can cause you to become anxious and frantic.   The study of light is very important to W.I.L.L.O.W.I.S.P. Scientists and they use the theories discovered in various situations, from subtle things like room environments to more pressing and critical operations such as criminal containment.
