MORE >Better Than Blue Light
Jay Neitz, PhD, University of Washington | James Kuchenbecker, University of Washington
Research carried out at the University of Washington has demonstrated that the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells get significant input from the red, green and blue cones involved in color vision. Research shows that under the right circumstances, signals from the cones can be much stronger than those generated by Melanopsin. The body clocks of our Paleolithic human ancestors were synchronized by light from colorful sunsets and research shows that patterns of color and intensity similar to dawn and dusk have more powerful effects on ipRGCs than simple blue lights. Understanding the role of patterns of light on cones in driving ipRGCs will lead to much better ways of controlling circadian rhythms than is possible with current technologies.
MORE >Horticultural Lighting for Architectural Spaces

MORE >Unveiling Potential: Bridging Gaps in Circadian Lighting Design Guidelines
Levent Sahin, CCNY
Integrated lighting for circadian entrainment offers proven lab and field benefits, but gaps remain in understanding human-light interaction. While current guidelines provide value, consensus is lacking among key organizations for designing lighting that accounts for the human circadian system. These criteria are limited to only day-active individuals, overlooking nighttime-active populations. This oversight is worrisome, as these vulnerable individuals are at a higher risk of circadian disruption and related health problems. This presentation addresses this gap by proposing solutions informed by both lab and field studies.
MORE >7 Basic Rules for Successful Lighting Integration to the BMS
Scott Ziegenfus, Current Lighting
Many large projects place an importance on Integrating lighting to a Building Management System (BMS) using BACnet. However, for so many lighting professional’s integration may not have been a pleasant experience. Lighting is a subsystem to the BMS and are not in charge so when integration goes awry what do you do? Having personally been involved with hundreds of BACnet projects I realized issues could be avoided by following 7 basic rules. This course is not a technical presentation about BACnet like I have presented in the past but how we can set BACnet integration projects for success.

We intend to provide clear lighting design guidance to better accommodate a changing, diverse workforce and their space use needs. Presenters will review findings from two research studies involving a diverse group of users – one with participants with self-identified, functional visual limitations, and another group representative of 2020 US Census workplace demographics – and apply designing to the edges principles to help our industry deliver a better lighting and controls experience for all.
MORE >Beyond the Visible
Dr. Anne Berends, Seaborough BV
The insights of visible light effects on human health have led to the emergence of ‘human-centric’ lighting. The health effects of far-red or near-infrared (NIR) light are less known (in the lighting community). These effects, called ‘photobiomodulation’ are mostly employed in therapeutic devices for wound healing or pain relief. However, a double-blind and placebo-controlled clinical study shows that photobiomodulation is a systemic effect: generally healthy people that are exposed to NIR light benefit from improved health and well-being. Unfortunately, indoors we are deprived of NIR light. Consequently, there is a need for NIR light sources that provide people indoors with the right dose of NIR light in an energy-efficient way to improve their health and well-being.

MORE >Light Me The Way Home
Deborah Gottesman, Gottesman Associates
The most beautifully designed homes need good light to be able to fully appreciate them. What makes residential lighting “good”? It is much more than selecting a pretty fixture; we have all experienced washroom lighting that shadow our faces, and kitchens with poor or no task lighting. How do we ensure good visibility for all tasks and create beautiful spaces? Good lighting design starts with visual programming of each space, and then incorporates the individual needs and wants of the clients. Residential lighting is personal, diverse, flexible, and must reflect the homeowners. This seminar will explore important lighting principles, and demonstrate their application through case studies of various residential projects. Join award-winning lighting designer Deborah Gottesman as she teaches us how to turn a house into a home through good lighting design!
MORE >Facade Lighting
Craig Bernecker, The New School, Parsons School of Design | Ajin Cho, Domingo Gonzalez Associates
As there is no method to quantify the adverse effects of facade lighting, lighting designers should assess direct upward light and reflected light during the design process to reduce facade lighting’s contribution to skyglow. This paper proposes a new methodology that utilizes the existing widespread photometric calculation tool in the lighting design industry.
MORE >Adapting to the new requirements of UL 924 Emergency Lighting
Eric Miller, Avi-on Labs, Inc.
In 2022, UL dramatically changed the requirements for detecting normal and emergency power for emergency lighting. This change has obsoleted many common methods of compliance, and at the same time has opened up new opportunities for simplified and lower cost compliance. Today there is significant confusion about the new standards, and many manufacturers products have not yet caught up to the new standards. This presentation explains the changes, how to comply with the new standard, and outline new methods to comply that can reduce the cost of emergency lighting compliance significantly.
MORE >A Refined Approach to Exterior and Landscape Lighting within DarkSky Recommendations

Join us in this enlightening journey, redefining the boundaries of interior illumination.
MORE >Connected Emergency Lighting
Tom Stoll, Bodine Emergency Lighting | Dave Bratt, Bodine Emergency Lighting (Signify)
The need for connected emergency lighting stems primarily from the time, labor, and cost savings of completely automating the testing and reporting process to ensure the emergency lighting system remains fully operational and ready to perform when it is needed. The time and cost required to perform the testing and reporting becomes exorbitant even for moderately sized facilities. Using the technology now available to connect the emergency lighting system so the testing can be completed automatically at a time when it is convenient for a particular facility, can dramatically reduce the time and money needed to keep the system in tip-top condition.
MORE >Lighting and Control Design to Promote Health and Well-being in Healthcare Spaces
Christian Groom, Legrand | Stacey Kennedy, Focal Point | Tom Kaczkowski, HOK
The advancement of lighting and lighting control integration is enabling more comfortable space which have traditionally been viewed as sterile environments. Good lighting solutions on the market today enhance healthcare facilities while simultaneously meeting application requirements and elevating occupant experience. Whether the occupant is a tenured surgeon or a traveling nurse, when they walk into the room, they’ll easily turn the lights on and off or push a button to enable a specific scene. In addition to meeting recommended illuminance levels, helping with wayfinding, and making interiors feel welcoming and comfortable, installed luminaires also support the stringent maintenance and cleanability requirements of healthcare buildings. Lastly, integrated lighting and control systems can improve building efficiency, contribute to attaining WELL Building certification, and improve healthcare facilities overall ratings by patients – known as the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS).

MORE >Value Driven Innovation: Targeting Equity
Meg Smith, lwlumens
Most people can effectively process and respond to the sensory stimuli of daily life. Those who have sensory processing disorders struggle to form meaningful responses to sensory stimuli resulting in under-responsiveness, over-responsiveness or variously both types of responsiveness to environmental stimuli. Visual hypo- or hypersensitivity may be caused by neurological diversity, Vitamin D deficiency, migraines, functional visual limitations, side effects of medications, or brain injury. Recent research documenting the combined incidence of these causes and failure to deliver appropriate public health care in underserved communities highlights the urgency of responding to sensory sensitivities with appropriate stimulus and level of control.

A Path Through the Wilderness of Lighting Control Specification
Shoshanna Segal, Hartranft Lighting Design
With so many different types of systems and requirements, how do you get what you really want from lighting controls? Designers and architects need to consider the visual environment they are creating as well as the operational characteristics of the systems being installed. Design teams now often find themselves faced with questions of how to create a level of interoperability and digital integration with adjacent building systems that was not so commonplace in the recent past. Fortunately, the tools exist to articulate both the designer’s intent and the specific steps required to achieve that intent. By examining the development process behind the Control Intent Narrative and the Sequence of Operations, this seminar will provide guidance for assembling these documents and specific examples of language that is both clear and contractually enforceable.
MORE >Light + Justice in Practice
Edward Bartholomew, Bartholomew Lighting | Lya Osborn, Unolai Lighting Design
Light Justice is the practice of planning, designing, implementing, and investing in lighting for historically neglected communities through a process of stakeholder respect and engagement. But how does light justice impact our design practice? This presentation will demonstrate through case studies and research how lighting designers can provide equitable good quality lighting for all occupant spaces, regardless of status or building location. This presentation will interrogate the present practice of lighting design and show a better more just way to provide quality lighting that equally impacts and improves the environment for all occupants.
MORE >Bursting the Melatonin Bubble
Dr. Shelley James, Age of Light Innovations
The sector has focused on melanopsin and blue-enriched lighting for daytime-active people, while melatonin regulation has become a proxy for sleep, health and happiness. New evidence suggests the reality could be more complex and interesting: cones make a significant contribution to non-visual response, while the direct link between melatonin and sleep is under the microscope. Food, temperature, visual comfort, cultural norms, and critically, darkness, are in the spotlight as critical mediators of physical and mental health. I will review research and examples that suggest the need for a more integrated — and ultimately more ‘human-centric’ — approach to lighting.
MORE >The Perfect Fit!
Graham Whittaker, Zumtobel | Attila Uysal, Lumenarch
When Renzo Piano’s glass-clad The New York Times Building opened, it featured cutting edge integrated building technologies. Shadow-free illumination in the main newsroom came from custom T5 fluorescent fixtures with superb glare control. The NY Times tested a number of LED upgrades. But in the end, the lighting designers and luminaire manufacture developed a custom refurbishment kit with a proven optical design even superior to the original fixture—an affordable refurbishment offering a minimum 50% energy savings, plastic free packaging, and super-fast installation. A truly sustainable luminaire begins with a timeless design and ends with the reusability of all its parts. Over 80% to 90% of the NY times fixtures were reused. Truly sustainable buildings are those that people will enjoy using for decades to come.
