Scoops are usually the source of fill light, the quality of which is soft, with no direction and no shadows. The non-directional, soft light from a scoop is called general illumination. 2, record 2, English, - fill%20light

«éclairage d'ambiance» : Par assimilation à la lumière naturelle, de nature composite (soleil et ciel) et venant d'en haut, nous nous efforcerons de composer notre éclairage artificiel selon les mêmes principes. D'où l'habitude de créer une lumière dominante (éclairage principal) assortie d'une source de lumière secondaire (éclairage d'ambiance) destinée à éclairer les ombres dessinées sur le sujet par l'éclairage principal. 2, record 2, French, - ambiance

«lumière d'ambiance» : Les projecteurs sont de types très divers. Ils sont destinés à fournir deux modes d'éclairage, la lumière d'ambiance et la lumière d'effet. La lumière d'ambiance est fournie par des dispositifs d'éclairage non sélectifs. Des rampes de lampes flood sont utilisées souvent en lumière réfléchie (panneaux blancs ou plafonds). 7, record 2, French, - ambiance

«lumière d'ambiance» : Lamouret (Cf. LACIN, 1967, p. 132) utilise aussi le terme "Lumière ambiante" au sens de lumière naturelle environnante, par opposition à la lumière d'appoint qui est une source artificielle d'éclairage. Il est à noter que les sources unilingues consultées ne font pas la distinction de cause à effet entre les termes LUMIÈRE ("light") et ÉCLAIRAGE ("lighting"), et emploient les deux notions de façon interchangeable. 8, record 2, French, - ambiance
