Introductory
Specifying lighting for residential projects has become very complicated. Selections must be made based on color, color consistency, tunable white, dim-to-warm, colored lighting. Add to the mix, issues with retrofit lamps, dimming and dimming protocols and associated cost implications, the choices can make the design team’s head explode!
This talk will outline the different choices available and discuss the pros and cons for each item. It will give a designer a way to approach specifying lighting that is appropriate for their clients needs, aesthetically, functionally and financially.
Learning Objectives
1. Attendees will have the ability to detemine and select the choices of colored light available
2. The different choices of dimming systems available will be applied for the proper use.
3. The pros and cons of LED retrofit lamps will enhance the choices for application.
4. Aesthetic considerations when mixing architectural LED lighting fixtures with decorative luminaires chosen by the Architect or Interior Designer
