Luminaire Schedule or Legend
If one has the means, it is helpful to include the entire luminaire schedule as a drawing sheet that gets submitted along with the lighting plan. This clarity will ensure that this information is always available.
In addition to the
luminaire schedule, a basic legend like the one shown in Figure 26.6 can be helpful to explain some of the other symbols used on a lighting
plan. It is common practice to create a legend that clarifies
not only luminaire symbols, but controls devices and details.
Detail Callouts.
Many lighting applications are simply too cumbersome to be understood in plan. When this is the case, we develop lighting details that show specific construction situations and dimension in a very precise manner. These details will usually occupy a dedicated drawing sheet. Numerous examples of typical lighting details
appear in Chapter 29.

As with any other construction drawing, proper formatting will add the finishing touches that will get the lighting plan the respect it deserves. The construction documents that come out of the studio are the only product that much of the project team gets to see. Development materials - sketches, renderings and light maps - can lead to great design, but it is all for naught if the construction documents are not complete, correct and easy to use. In the end, the construction of a project relies heavily on these few black and white drawings and how easy they are to translate into a built environment.
