| Summary: | Lighting is one of the most popular issues in our day among people. We already know that Muslims used to give great importance to this issue. Usage of the word “light” in the Holy Quran has increased the importance attached to the issue. The issue is quite interesting and has become a center of attention for many people. There is an effort to lighten buildings with various colors with an eye to draw attention in this way. While this can be called as lighting play it is also possible to interpret the issue as a trick. Nonetheless, lighting is the duet of space with light. It is observed that lighting is also used in historical buildings with a view to emphasize the importance thereof especially in the last 20 and 30 years. Lighting helps to highlight the relevant parts of historical buildings following the sunset. However, the point I want to draw attention at this stage is that lighting applications to be made to the domes, frames, narthexes, minarets, enclosure walls and courtyard entrances should be made without damaging the foregoing. And accordingly, installation of lighting fixtures should be carried out without drilling, scraping or breaking the walls. This article hereby has been penned based on my request and the reflex to prevent any damage to be given to Kılıç Ali Pasha Mosque during the applications made within the framework of the lighting project. A list of recommendations on issues which should be paid attention to during the said lighting application were tried to be listed prior to realization of the project passed through life. Traditional-artificial lighting means such as lamps, candleholders, candles and chandeliers have been abandoned in our day and technological artificial lighting devices such as lamps, luminaires, spotlights and LEDs have begun to be utilized. New technologies denoting intervention to historical monuments strengthen the frequency of sensitivity |
