The New York School of Interior Design’s New

Class Is Both Game-Changing & Hands-On
Introducing “Health Factors of Lighting and Daylighting”

In the lighting industry, the people who are most well-versed in how to use circadian
lighting to influence sleep and alertness are scientists and manufacturers. Many
designers, however, are not up to speed on how to apply those metrics. The New
York School of Interior Design (NYSID) seeks to change that.

The Course To personalize the curriculum and further

With a grant NYSID received from
Nuckolls Fund and under the guidance
of architectural lighting designer
Natalia Lesniak, NYSID created an
advanced lighting course entitled Health
Factors of Lighting and Daylighting,
to be incorporated into the Master of
Professional Studies in Lighting Design
curriculum. The goal: Equip NYSID’s
MPS-L students with practical knowledge
of current methods for calculating
circadian stimulation and prepare them to
engage in the industry like never before—
regardless of whether they’re working
on a WELL project, need to use the CS
metric, or they’re working on a European
standard that they need to meet, using
CIE Standard Illuminant D65.
help students understand the impact of
light on their daily lives, NYSID is also
providing each MPS-L student with a
wearable light measurement device,
produced by LYS Technologies, that pairs
with their smartphone. This means that
they’re not only evaluating digital 3D
models for circadian stimulation, but they’re
also going to be journaling and getting a
personal experience of tracking their light Fillion. “And arguably, having a view out
exposure during the course and be able to the window improves so many things about

Another exciting component: The course The Outcomes
integrates both daylighting studies and How will this affect the industry? By training
electric lighting. “Daylighting is the most students in this area, NYSID is paving the
readily available and efficient way to way for design firms across the country to
do this,” says Program Director, Shaun be able to quickly integrate a designer who
is familiar with and can help them approach
projects that focus on light and health.

And how will this affect the world? This

is just one more example that echoes
NYSID’s belief that interior design can
improve human welfare. Imagine the
possibilities of knowing more about how
daylight and electric light can change the
way we live.

“Though we still have much to learn about

the full impact of light on our health,
the science is clear on the basics,” says
Lesniak. “NYSID is in a position to advance
the industry by providing students with the
tools and knowledge to help bridge the gap
between research and design practice.”

Inside or Out? This Wearable Can Tell

A team of Penn State researchers has developed a wearable device with sensors
that collect data on light sources, including wavelength and frequency, to detect wheth-
er the user is inside or outside. The researchers believe the portable device has the
potential to help scientists better understand the health benefits of outdoor lighting and
pave the way for wearables that nudge users to get outdoors more often.
According to Matthew Rhudy, assistant professor of engineering, outdoor and indoor
lighting have distinct differences that sensors can detect. While the sun gives off vast
quantities of light in the ultraviolet spectrum, indoor lighting tends to be in the vis-
ible spectrum. “The UV index alone is pretty good at detecting it,” Rhudy says. “If it’s
detecting a significant amount of UV index, there’s a pretty good chance you’re out-
side.” Light intensity, even if it’s cloudy, as well as differences in color temperature, are
also signals for exposure to outdoor lighting.
Initial testing was done by placing the device in fixed locations to collect light data for
approximately one hour. A total of 3,640 indoor and 1,368 outdoor samples were col-
lected. Going forward, additional funding could lead to a larger long-term project that
explores additions such as a wireless component with the ability to transmit data.

Nine Products Honored in NLB's First Art and Science Awards Program
James Benya—one of seven jurors for the National Lighting Bureau’s (NLB) inaugural Art and Science of Lighting Awards—
likens product award programs to the Academy Awards for lighting manufacturers. “There are so many different categories
and varieties, and I find it hard to choose between a downlight and a table lamp,” Benya says. “Sort of like a dog show,
where ‘Best in Show’ could be any breed and choosing the Schnauzer instead of the Great Dane might be hard to reconcile.”
Thus, the NLB’s new program, created by Mary Beth Gotti, longtime manager of the GE Edison Awards program, focuses
on judging products for their innovation in the Art of Lighting, the Science of Lighting, or both. In addition to Benya, the
judging panel was comprised of Terry McGowan, Lighting Ideas, Inc.; Paul Tarricone, Editor and Publisher of LD+A; Paul
Pompeo, Pompeo Group; Cary Mendelsohn, Imperial Lighting; Jean Paul Freyssinier, LRC; and Manny Feris, Lutron. “While
the judging was at times chaotic and argumentative, the juror panel was unanimous in the end in realizing that we were
voting in favor of coming trends in the industry,” Benya says. “Each winner was more than just a pretty face or outstanding
athlete—it was a profound directional change for how we look at and use lighting.” The winners include:

ART OF LIGHTING:
• Winner: The Kuzco Magellan Family of contemporary, large decorative pendant lights—
winner of the 2020 LightFair Innovation Awards’ “Most Innovative Product of the Year” and the
2020 Red Dot Product Design Award’s “Best of the Best”—was selected for its modular and
versatile design, as well as its felt sound-absorbing option for soft lighting and glare control.
• Runners-up: Pin Vibia was noted for its versatility—ambient glow or dedicated task—and
Kuzco Magellan as a trend setter for configurable lighting. Acuity Radean LED Pedestrian Area and
Bollard Luminaires were selected for their patented transition zone; recognition of unique
requirements for pedestrian spaces; sculptural design by day; and high-quality light at night.

SCIENCE OF LIGHTING:
• Winner: LensVector was selected for its innovative and game-changing dynamic beam-
shaping lenses with digital liquid crystal technology, as well as its ability to operate with
conventional or wireless controls and provide infinite beam control on-demand without
mechanical systems.
• Runners-up: Cree Cadiant Dynamic Lighting Skylight, a Sapphire Award winner, was
noted as a more affordable dynamic skylight option for commercial applications. The skylight
LensVector Adjustable simulates dawn-to-dusk and east-to-west sun movement and recreates the experience of

Lamp use SkyBlue circadian technology to provide high melanopic daytime flux and dim to
zero blue without multi-channel color tuning for more residential applications. The table-lamp
option cycles through sunrise, daytime, sunset and nighttime modes.

ART AND SCIENCE OF LIGHTING COMBINATION:

• Winner: Fluxwerx Profile Mini—a Sapphire Awards finalist, iF Design Award 2020 winner
and Red Dot 2020 winner—contains miniaturized anidolic optics to outperform much larger
Fluxwerx Profile Mini luminaires, as well as vertical optical structures with linear light extraction elements.

NON-LIGHTING AWARD FOR INNOVATION:

• Winner: With a compact puck design that facilitates installation, the 365DisInFx UVC
Ceiling Puck from Current by GE was noted for its fresh approach to using UVC to
GE Current
continuously disinfect occupied spaces safely, and its timely product introduction amid
365DisInFx UVC COVID pandemic concerns.

Comfort Zone The luminance of our surroundings is key to mitigating glare
he IES Handbook defines
“discomfort glare” as a
sensation of annoyance
and “disabling glare” as
painful when high luminance
(brightness) light sources are in
our field of view. While at work,
for example—where we move
our bodies and eyes quite a
bit, but our light sources are
generally fixed—we measure the
“glare” by four factors: (1) the
luminance of the source, (2) its
size, (3) its location in the field
of view and (4) the viewer’s light
adaptation level.
The fourth factor is most often
ignored, but it has the unique
ability to mitigate glare. For
instance, when you’re driving at
night and the cars coming at you
in the opposite lane have their
“brights” on, you’re going to suf-
fer disabling glare, but when driv-
ing in daylight, your light adapta-
tion levels are much higher than
at night, and those oncoming
headlights don’t bother you at all.
When you’re indoors, bright light
sources can be discomforting,
but a room with light finishes and
abundant general lighting miti-
gates that glare.
Incorporating daylight into
designs is one way to provide
abundant general lighting.
Jim Benya of Benya Burnett
Consultancy in Davis, CA,
reports that his most recent
designs provide sufficient day-
light for 80% of the time, while
room lights are only on 20% of
14 LD+A March 2021 www.ies.org
Energy
Willard Warren
the time. In addition to mitigating
glare, this also reduces the light-
ing load density of those rooms
to around 0.3 watts per sq ft,
which is very energy efficient.
If you are now working from
home, consider locating your
desk near a window to allow
daylight in to keep your light
adaptation level high, maintain
your circadian rhythm and
improve your color discrimina-
tion. In commercial offices, on
the other hand, most luminaires
use lenses to refract high-angle
rays of light downward, or use
parabolic or dark louvers to cut
off those rays, but we should
be directing as much light as
possible upward to brighten the
walls and ceilings in the rooms
we work in.
At night when we’re outdoors,
we should illuminate sidewalks,
buildings and store fronts
with wide-angle streetlights to
increase our light adaptation
levels and improve visual acuity.
For additional safety, we should
follow London’s example and
require cameras on all buildings.
Indoors, we should not sleep in
totally dark rooms, which have
been proven to be dangerous
for seniors.
An IES committee is now study-
ing the adoption of an indoor
glare evaluation system for our
lighting code, modeled after
Europe’s CIE “United Glare
Rating” (UGR) system. The
article “UGR on the Rise” by
James K. Eads, published in the
October issue of LD+A, included
a table of the UGR values com-
pared with the Hopkins Rating
Scale, where in seven steps, the
UGR goes from 10 (impercep-
tible) to 28 (uncomfortable).
We must The luminance of our sur-
roundings must be kept high
always
to mitigate glare, because by
consider
increasing the luminosity of
alternatives the background we can lower
in our the UGR and move up on the
designs Hopkins Rating Scale. That could
be considered “UGR-LITE.”
My college engineering/eco-
nomics professor lectured that
we must always consider alter-
natives in our designs. His favor-
ite recommendation was: “When
your city’s bridges become too
low to allow the new, taller ships
to clear under them—instead of
replacing the bridges, consider
lowering the riverbeds.”
The Brits are doing that now
on the Thames River to elimi-
nate flooding in basements adja-
cent to the riverbanks. We now
have the opportunity to mitigate
glare, both indoors and out, by
flooding the spaces we spend
time in with surround light, to
raise our light adaptation and
comfort levels.

hat if we looked at
our lighting commu-
nity as part of one
united organization
instead of a group of disparate
parts competing for dominance?
What if we elected a leader to
guide us through this period of
transition and gave them the
authority to assemble the parts
to strengthen the future of our
community?
The President, King or Queen
of the Lighting Community are
not titles to be seriously consid-
ered, but the idea of a lighting
authority that acts in the best
interests of the whole industry is
a critical necessity for a healthy
lighting community. If compa-
nies and individuals are only
watching out for themselves,
then who has the bigger respon-
sibility to look out for all of
them? Imagine if each of our 50
states were only concerned with
what happens within their bor-
ders and there was no unified
regulations, national defense or
support during disasters. It is
good to care for our companies
and ourselves, but without some
overarching authority that is
unmotivated by personal or cor-
porate goals, we are divided—
and divided we fall.
One obstacle to being the
lighting authority is the lack
of cohesiveness in our indus-
try. This is always true for the
reasons noted above, but
recently we were faced with

another force of division. It is
the increase in previously dispa-
rate trades encroaching into our
community. It is a fascinating
time with so many people, prod-
ucts and organizations now talk-
ing about lighting but, as with
our companies, it is within the
context of their own interests.
The awareness of lighting has
been elevated beyond any point
since the initial appreciation
of the benefits of electric light.
This is a timely opportunity to
provide a cohesive network of
components that can integrate
into lighting systems and align
with these disparate groups.
This convergence brings
increased complexity. Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow said, “In
character, in manner, in style,
in all things, the supreme excel-
lence is simplicity.” The chal-
lenge is to make lighting simpler
for users as it increases in com-
plexity. It is hard to simplify the

Progressions
Despite the recent backlash
against big tech, Apple, Google,
Amazon and Facebook have
unique offerings that would be
missed by millions of people. If
we did not have the IES, who
could fill the gap in standards,
education, research and advoca-
cy on behalf of our community?
For decades I was an IES
Member, now I am on staff. My
colleagues at the IES are smart,
focused, caring professionals
dedicated to our mission. There
is a sense of camaraderie, not
competitiveness, as we work
together for the betterment of
our Society and community.
This commitment is critical, but
you cannot be a respected and
effective authority without also
having the support of those
you serve. The IES needs to
not only be recognized as the
18 LD+A March 2021 www.ies.org
lighting authority but supported
as the lighting authority. We are
stronger working together. Your
support is inextricably linked to
the strength of our lighting com-
munity. A megachurch pastor
said on one of my first visits to
the church that “you can sit in
the back and just soak it in and
we will leave you alone, but the
more involved you are the more
you will benefit from being here.”
That is equally true for the IES.
If our community chooses not
to support the IES (and there is
no alternative organization), then
our community’s voice weakens
to cacophonous whispers hav-
ing lost the force of unified mes-
saging. Without unified mes-
saging from a lighting authority
we have mixed messaging.
Without a clear and consistent
voice, we will be sublimated
to larger interests and
industries precipitating
the decline of lighting as
a community. People will
still need lighting, but if it
is added to the product
mix from other industries
it will likely be relegated
to a commodity product
with price more impor-
tant than quality. It is our
job to represent you and
our community and our
members and all those
with an interest in light-
ing. But we cannot be
effective without you.
Just sharing how the IES
has helped you can help
others and our lighting
community.
In his latest book, Dr.
Sanjay Gupta stated:
“I want to live my life
like an incandescent
light bulb, burn brightly
my entire life and then
one day suddenly go out.”
He added, “We don’t want
the flickering fluorescent light
bulbs that signal their ultimate
demise.” I would add “or like
an LED that depreciates slowly
in a prolonged decline, grow-
ing less effective and valuable
until so dim as to be useless to
anyone.” I hope that our lighting
community does not depreciate
slowly in a prolonged decline
even as flickers signaling poten-
tial demise intensify around us.
The author Jean Kerr said,
“Hope is the feeling you have
that the feeling you have isn’t
permanent.” The feeling that I
have is that our lighting commu-
nity is facing impending chang-
es that are not positive and
there is no concerted unified
effort to strengthen our position.
It’s time to act.
Research in lighting is
underfunded. Research could
clarify how our lighting prod-
ucts improve our health, how
to make our highways safer,
reduce more carbon from
energy savings, and grow higher
quality and increased quantities
of food for our planet. Research
could reveal incentives for more
sustainable product design,
develop a new metric for the
lumen that better aligns with our
vision and so much more. If we
do this along with developing
timely standards and education-
al content, we lead. If not, others
will, since the need is evident.
We do not have lighting royalty
or a President of our commu-
nity but we do have a lighting
authority, if we can keep it.

Changing Our Vocabulary Negative descriptors can hinder our embrace of darkness
hen we talk about
light pollution, the con-
versation often idles
on the loss of the
night sky for humans. This loss
is immense, yet younger genera-
tions do not hold memories of
nightly access to the stars, so
our collective consciousness no
longer knows what it is missing.
Therefore, the discussion of dark
skies alone is inadequate to gal-
vanize the “dark-sky movement.”
It is also a grossly incomplete
description of the problem.
In addition, the term light pol-
lution does not elicit the same
amount of alarm as other forms
of climate change. Yet studies
show that artificial light at night
20 LD+A March 2021 www.ies.org

is changing fundamental behav-
iors in species, such as the way
plants grow, how insects pol-
linate and when animals repro-
duce. This term is also danger-
ously inadequate in describing
the threat that artificial light
poses to the environment.
By far, the most pressing
issue of light pollution is the
impact upon wildlife. Across
the planet, animals and plants
are changing their perennial
relationship to light. An age-old
balance of interspecies interac-
tion is being challenged and
interrupted. Ultimately, this is
a critical issue for humans, yet
historically speaking the impact
of climate change upon wildlife
has not been enough to turn the
tides of industries.
In the early 1900s, it was not
an intuitive notion that cigarettes
caused cancer. Doctors were
even known to endorse ciga-
Not only is rettes. It was not until massive
darkness amounts of ongoing public edu-
regarded cation linked smoking to cancer
as unsafe, that the collective conscious-
but it is also ness began to understand. One
key factor that led to successful
associated
public understanding is that the
with being incentive not to smoke is directly
boring and tied to an individual’s desire to
unneeded avoid cancer.
For lighting experts, an under-
standing of light pollution may
seem intuitive. However, the
issue of light pollution is not yet
a concern for the public at large.
Therefore, a critical next step is
to consider new forms of discus-
sion and education about light
pollution and the impact it has
upon wildlife, as well as create
ways to incentivize the individual.
Despite the altered rhythm of
light on the planet, wildlife still
strives to operate around the
natural daylight cycle. Here in the
street-lit City of Cambridge, MA,
there are three turkeys roosting
in the trees just north of me. I
can hear them clucking in the
morning just after sunrise, and
then I watch them make their
clunky flight down from the tree
to forage for the day. Like clock-
work, they waddle back up the

their preferred tree by sunset.
I went and visited them one
evening, just after sunset, and
they were still awake, alert but
quieting for the day. Perched
about 30 ft up in the trees, they
calmly took notice of me and
the dimming world around them.
On another visit, I arrived about
an hour later at full darkness,
and they had already gone to
sleep for the night, tucking their
long and crooked necks under
their wings for darkness and
comfort. In my observations as
a citizen-scientist, the turkeys
spend more than half of their
24 hours in that tree, roosting,
recovering and restoring.
As humans, we are the only
species willingly changing our
relationship to light. Frankly, the
loss of the dark sky is the last
link for us, not the first, in a long
chain of light pollution impact-
ing individuals. We have cut
out dimness darkness, and the
arc of the natural daylight cycle
from our waking existences
almost completely, imprisoning
ourselves in stagnant, singular
and undynamic brightness until
we switch off the bedside lamp,
very often with the illuminated
screen of a device still nearby.
This did not used to be.
When we were wild, we awoke
with the sunrise. We hunted and
gathered under a giant blue
dome or green forest canopy. At
sunset, we turned to rest near
a warm glowing fire under the
moon and stars. These light
signals are ancient to our bod-
ies and minds, and yet we rarely
experience them in modern
day. We create fewer and fewer
memories in dim environments.
In fact, the public is being

air on television for screw-in LED
light bulbs boasting thousands
of lumens of daylight, with no
understanding of the art or sci-
ence of illumination and how that
would make a person feel within
that environment, or afterward.
Much of the problem is that
the vernacular language around
light does not truly support the
natural daylight cycle. The most
salient metaphors create idealis-
tic notions of light, emphasizing
celebration, goodness and pro-
ductivity, while darkness is often
associated with being unsafe,
scary or unproductive. In fact,
most of the available words to
describe low light are melan-
cholic and uninspired, such as
gloomy, dreary, faint or lack-
luster. To better support a res-
toration of the natural daylight
cycle on the planet, we need to
develop more positive descrip-
tive language to adequately
describe the beauty and wonder
of low light and darkness.
The lack of positivity around
darkness, the counterbalance
of light, has contributed to an
aversion to this part of the natu-
ral daylight cycle. Not only is
darkness regarded as unsafe,
but it is also associated with
being boring, unnecessary and
obstructing of activities. Yet,
there are many beautiful memo-
ries to be made in these softer,
paler lights. By defining more
experiences akin to candlelit
dinners or fireside chats, we can
bring more meaning into this
low light period of the natural
daylight cycle. In a world with
a constant news cycle, light
engines in our pockets, never-
ending to-do lists, unbounded
industry and unprecedented
climate change, darkness is
a needed antidote. As Emily
Dickinson describes, there is
something rather medicinal
about the darkness:
Either the Darkness alters —
Or something in the sight
Adjusts itself to Midnight —
And Life steps almost straight
In our addiction to light, we
have forgotten to revere the dark-
ness and the immense purpose
that it serves in our individual
lives. The development of a more
supportive glossary of concepts
around darkness can bring
emphasis to the individual ben-
efit such as increased time for
reflection, relaxation and restora-
tion. The entire cycle of natural
light is a kind of therapy that
harmoniously tunes the orchestra
within our bodies and minds,
including the darker shades of
light. While the impact of light
pollution on wildlife may not be
enough to build awareness on its
own, if we can define and posi-
tively describe more experiences
around low light, we can incentiv-
ize the individual to restore the
natural daylight cycle for wildlife.

artistic flair.
Gilmore’s project scope included short-term
parking, six retail buildings and a circular drop-off,
all organized around a historic oyster shed and bor-
dering the Washington Channel and a major street.
The various vantage points and “carnie” character-
istics of the existing and historic fish market, which
would remain in place, contradicted the overall site
lighting needs for ambiance, identity and public
safety. Understanding user activity needs, as well
as the various viewpoints, drove lighting concepts
incorporating artistic moments while solving for
security, branding, signage and wayfinding.

Due to the timing of Gilmore’s contribution,
speed and coordination were critical. “I knew we
needed to be under contract quickly, and with no
RFP, I submitted a limited scope of services for
creating a schematic design that could translate
toward the architect’s needs of solving for egress,
and the landscape architect’s needs for landscape
lighting,” Gilmore says. “We identified lighting
design project goals as designing distinct zones
of visual identity; providing appropriate illuminance
for all pedestrian/vehicular areas; minimizing glare;
and reinterpreting the existing seafood market’s
honky-tonk character.”
W ith goals clearly defined and the final pro-
posal in hand, the overall design concept of
“Connected Sparkle” emerged. “It was an early
working concept phrase that stuck,” Gilmore
says. With that phrase came a series of “lighting
adjectives.” “The client related to how we defined
the activity zones—Lively/Active, Atmospheric and
Iconic/Accent. They could think programmatically,
and about how implementing lighting solutions and
general lighting character supported their needs.”
Utilizing layers of light in different locations es-
tablished a visual hierarchy relating to each area’s
activity level. “Iconic accents could reflect in the

discreet poles would solve the issue, but the word
‘pole’ was now forbidden.”
Instead, Gilmore’s team proposed using the
retail building’s exposed structural columns as a
mounting location. The architect and owner ap-
proved the idea in lieu of poles; however, Gilmore
was concerned about glare. “Luckily, we found a
small-aperture fixture with enough output to meet
the luminance criteria, and in the end when all the
surrounding glassy buildings were occupied, the
glare blended and became serendipitous ‘Con-
nected Sparkle.’ ”
T he area between the Market Square and the
public plaza, which doubles as a pedestrian
entry point and gathering space, presented a site
branding opportunity via “iconic” lighting. “The
void between the two buildings needed something
special,” Gilmore explains. “Architecturally, it was

The design team was not excited about the
landscape architect’s suggestion for café string
lights, but the structural benefits of a catenary
solution were apparent. In turn, Gilmore proposed
a glowing floating ring concept. The owner and
retail partner were both on board, but cost was
a concern. “We had sold an idea that the factory
hadn’t yet built,” Gilmore says. “We also needed
enough lumens to cover egress needs. Calcula-
tions proved positive, but the technical challenge
was ensuring the electrical connection could also
join to an angled cable. We wanted the rings to
appear suspended vertically, as if they were beads
of bubbles rolling along the cable.”
The final design incorporates an angled cat-

ypically, the terms “traditional” and “mod-

home design in India. When faced with the

 COVID-19
Impact Survey
One year removed from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, LD+A asks its
readers how they have adapted and what they expect moving forward

A
n IES/LD+A survey on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lighting industry reveals
areas of concern and optimism for the year ahead. The survey was distributed by email to
IES Members in late November. There were 1,083 responses from all corners of the industry,
including designers, manufacturers, distributors, sales agencies, academia and utilities. Here are
some of the major takeaways:

• Respondents have had little trouble transitioning to remote work. An overwhelming 97% say working
from home has been at least “somewhat successful.” Moreover, corporate culture has not suffered
significantly. Less than 40% say it has been affected negatively.
• The flipside, however, is that professional development and industry engagement have suffered.
Roughly 65% say the pandemic has had a negative effect, likely due to the pause in live events.
• Respondents hold extremely positive views on videoconferencing platforms such as Zoom. A
whopping 97% say these platforms have been successful in facilitating their work.
• With vaccines now available, there is cautious optimism about a return to normalcy in the lighting
industry in 2021. Just over 50% foresee this by the end of the year.
• Regarding specific market sectors, healthcare projects are forecast to improve, say survey
respondents, while retail, office and hospitality projects are likely to lag.
• On the technology side, respondents see promise for UVC germicidal applications over the next
several months. 75% say its application is at least “somewhat likely” especially in the healthcare and
assisted living sectors.
• Smart luminaires with sensors and/or app-based controls may also prove to be tools for businesses
and governments seeking to encourage social distancing and manage space. Nearly 60% foresee at
least one of these scenarios as at least “somewhat likely.”

Please Note: Total percentages may not equal 100% due to rounding.

The Good…
Some respondents to our survey found aspects of their lives changing for the better with new opportunities, such as
the ability to structure their own work day and attend more (virtual) conferences in a year. Here’s a few responses by
those who found the good:

• “With all of our employees spread across the country, we’re connected and unified more than ever!”
• “Better connection/relationships with teammates and some customers—more understanding, patience, appreciation.”
• “Opportunity to hire good people displaced by the pandemic.”
• “I’ve actually enjoyed how conferences and events that I wouldn’t have necessarily been able to attend physically in
other years due to distance or work obligations now are available online and I’ve been able to participate in most. I
suggest an online offer always be maintained in all conferences.”
• “I have unexpectedly been able to enjoy more time at home with a newborn and have found a better work-life balance.”
• “Awareness of what works and doesn’t work in a residential environment.”
• “Effectiveness of remote meetings was a surprise.”
• “Time-of-day no longer is an important factor. The ‘business day’ is whenever I want it to be.”
• “Our local IES Section pre-COVID would gather around 10 people for an 8 a.m. tech/compliance seminar. During
COVID, with Zoom, we see over 60 guests regularly.”
• “I have created eLearning content for my company and presented to IES Members in different Sections.”
• “I have been able to utilize the commute time to complete projects. I have been able to watch more webinars and do
more professional development.”
• “The pandemic has forced me to engage technology at a higher level than I would have ever imagined. Despite the
setbacks related to volume of business I am working, I am much more focused than I have ever been before. The result
for me has been a better client relationship.”

The Bad…
Zoom fatigue, salary reductions and a “lack of respect for the lunch hour” are just the tip of the iceberg for the fol-
lowing respondents who describe the pandemic’s negative impact on their personal and professional lives.

• “The most lasting effect will be the limited amount of designers entering lighting design, as many are likely to pursue
alternate careers. Much like the classes graduating during the last recession, there will be a shortage of designers
in this age/experience range.”
• “Cancelled shows means customers cannot view new products like they normally would.”
• “The lack of personal interaction. While you can emulate the work environment through online meetings and conver-
sations, you cannot change the tangible interaction with people that has been lost through the pandemic.”
• “Maintaining a safe manufacturing environment—which we have—is a full-time process.”
• “Local, state and private funding declined sharply and may be long to return.”
• “The impact of the pandemic has included reduction of staff and an overall decrease in work through stalled proj-
ects or fewer RFPs becoming projects.”
• “I was a theatrical lighting designer, but with no theaters open, there are no shows to light.”
• “Business expectations for sports lighting are delayed by 18 months to two years. Investment in new technologies is
also delayed.”
• “The [remote work] day has no beginning and/or end. Work tends to invade otherwise personal time and space.”
• “Less face-to-face time with specifiers. The over saturation of the market with digital has had the opposite effect—
specifiers are tired of online content.”
• “The most unexpected part of the pandemic is clearly the duration. The impact of this is the unfortunate slowdown in
the markets we serve.”
• “Clients think Zoom meetings are free and don’t realize how much they cost consultants; time is money.”
• “The lack of mentoring and lack of growth by younger team members not able to see ‘how to’ on project needs.”

a larger beam of light covering more surface area or a very narrow beam of light for
accuracy was needed. The fixture has six standard NEMA beam-spread options.

The frosted glass globe of
the pendant luminaires plays
off the architectural design
elements of the park, which
blends industrial, modern
and contemporary motifs.
The pendant is also built
to withstand the intense
periods of rain and wind
common to Texas.

A key area of focus was the
walkway lighting, where the
fixtures provide ample lighting
with wide spacing, while not being
obtrusive. When mounted together,
the KicK fixture mimics the
shape of a fish tail.

>>
Created for both amateur and
professional riders, the park is open
day and night, and the design had
to limit glare that could disrupt
a rider’s line of sight and cause
accidents.

hen Orion Federal Credit Union moved its
headquarters to a bread company’s former
factory in downtown Memphis, LRK, the project’s
architectural and interior design firm, immediately saw
the creative opportunity. Keeping the building’s original
shape featuring industrial windows on all four sides, LRK
was able to focus on aesthetics over functionality in some
spaces thanks to the abundant natural light.
Playing off the company’s name, the designers invoked
the concept of Orion’s Belt using A-Light’s Accoled ACL3
linear fixtures. Suspended adjacent to the walls in the
concrete hallways, the lights directly illuminate the walls
and their artwork while providing enough ambient light
for safe passage. Away from the fixtures, the lighting is
kept relatively dark to evoke the feeling of walking under a
nighttime sky. This concept extends to the open-office plan
where the luminaires hang diagonally above workstations,
creating movement while lighting two workstations at a time.
