Okay, I think I'm getting somewhere now.

Really didn't realize how hard the lighting was going to be on this shot!

In the end, I gave up on "realistic" light coming in the window, and just put the spotlight INSIDE the porthole. Less physically accurate, but it works better -- no weird shadow-layer stuff.

Also, realized that since I added "Emit" to all the toon materials to give them a basic dark color, I need to tone that down in the composite a bit to get the light contrast I was after.

The Danish Home Lighting Trend That Can Improve Your Mental Health

By Ana Morales
February 27, 2025

"[W]hile reading The Little Book of #Hygge, by Meik Wiking, I discovered that the Danes are also very particular when it comes to lighting—and they even have a very refined technique to using it in their homes. For the Danish, it’s something bordering on an obsession. All this stems from, according to Wiking, 'the relative lack of contact with natural light from October to March'—that is, during the long, dark winters of northern Europe."

Vogue · The Danish Home Lighting Trend That Can Improve Your Mental HealthBy Ana Morales

On Sunday, I will publish the first part of my “Light-Guide”, which will be divided into several parts. In this “Light-Guide” I will show you methods and techniques that you don't see that often, but that have a great effect. The first part will be published this Sunday and another part will follow on each subsequent Sunday. I hope you have as much fun as you did with my “Glass-Guide” and if you have any special requests, please comment here.

We light outdoor spaces at night for many reasons, among which is to ensure our nighttime safety and security, but there is little evidence that outdoor lighting deters crime. Quality lighting design promotes better nighttime visibility by exploiting the amazing power of human vision across a large dynamic range. Read how the "lighting for reassurance" design ethic empowers users of outdoor spaces at night by giving them confidence in the integrity of their surroundings.

All right, nerds, is this a vestigial oil-powered streetlight(?) Long Beach, CA, today

ETA, ok it appears to be an air raid siren, per multiple replies. Thx! (I was misled by the grating & shades, but now that I think about it, a light would probably nod to old-timey lanterns in a skeuomorph kinda way instead of this more modern design)
