More or less. More, but less. Is that what light has become?As a commodity we cannot live without it. From finding our way about, performing tasks, our basic functionality is impaired by its absence. In the built environment light has a long history. I have built a career around the application of light, the technical characteristics of light and for over two decades provided education across the industry of all things light.Today, more than ever, the science of light is leading us to a more profound understanding of how light is intrinsically linked to our biology and overall wellness. How we feel, how we perform, when we wake and how well we sleep. Light can no longer be the commodity simply delivered at the lowest cost of ownership. Light and how we apply and deliver that light, in all its forms, with all its characteristics, in all its applications must be carefully considered, planned and implemented. Extending knowledge and sharing in the education of light is what drives me. I understand and appreciate what lighting can do for people. That lighting can add tremendous value and benefit to our lives. Working with the most innovative and creative people – Lighting Designers, Architects, Interior Designers, Lighting Engineers, Scientists, Governments, Educators, End-users, Students – the people who shape our world today and who will create the world of tomorrow are my friends and colleagues.
