Your Pathway to Learning Starts Here

CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMERGING LIGHTING PROFESSIONALS Beginning any new job or career can bring on a unique set of challenges, especially in an unfamiliar industry. Learning the correct terminology, making the right connections, and finding a way to forge one’s own path for career growth are all par for the course in those first few months, and possibly even years in a new trade.

One thing that speaks to emerging professionals (EPs) and keeps their engagement with a company is the capacity to develop and hone their skillset within that industry and role. The ability to turn a job into a career is something that EPs seek while researching companies and filling out applications.

With thousands of emerging professionals entering the lighting industry every year – the Illuminating Engineering Society alone had 875 active EPs in 2020 – Acuity Brands has created programs to empower these new professionals, showcase their talent, provide them mentor opportunities, and have fun in the process to ensure the right steps are available to develop a career path. ​ The newest effort is Emerging Minds, a competition emphasizing the importance of putting the focus on those joining the industry and making space to hear about new ideas coming from the next generation

of lighting professionals. Who better to showcase the fixtures, business solutions, work, and educational applications of the future than those who will be designing them? Acuity is putting the spotlight on the future vision and talent of the lighting industry!​ Applicants will choose from one of the three categories: Fixture Design, Marketing or Business Plan, or Education or Office Applications to create their submission. Three 1st place winners of Emerging Minds will be awarded a trip to the upcoming International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) Enlighten Americas 2022 Conference in Palm Springs, CA, including airfare, lodging, and a travel stipend. Six 2nd place winners will be awarded a trip to the Acuity Brands Showroom in New York City to attend Acuity Academy Classes, including airfare, lodging, and a travel stipend.

Emerging Minds is hosted by Acuity Academy, the training and education resource within Acuity Brands, which offers year-round learning opportunities for everyone in the industry. The most popular program is Lighting Fundamentals, a crash course in lighting concepts. Attendees learn about light sources, the evolution in technology, lighting

terminology, photometry, and luminaire classification. This course is available ondemand, live virtually, or live in-person.​ Acuity Brands also highlights the importance of supporting emerging lighting professionals through the Besal Fund, a continuing scholarship program designed for advancement of education in illuminating engineering disciplines.

This separate, not-for-profit enterprise is made possible by contributions from Acuity Brands Lighting and Controls, its sales representatives, and employees. The scholarship fund is merit-based, and recipients are selected on the basis of academic excellence, faculty and professional recommendations, as well as the demonstration of lighting interest and skills that are exhibited in submitted materials.

Submissions for the Emerging Minds competition and nominations for the Besal Fund are open now.

Introducing PORTFOLIO at LEDucation!

Many advertisers approached us about producing a special show issue to be distributed at LEDucation.

The question was, "Could our small and fast-moving team publish an additional issue and have it ready in time for the show?" YES! PORTFOLIO at LEDucation is a platform for marketers to showcase products and tell stories in their own words. And it is distributed in hard copy printed format - as we will later for our June LightFair issue - in addition to digital transmission (always) to our full audience of now over 10,000 subscribers.

In store is the very compelling Designing for Darkness poster designed by Kate Hickcox of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). Be sure to see the poster on page 38 and stop by our booth for a wall version for your office.

There is a new organization coming this Fall called The Business of Light.

Created to support the lighting designer, it will be a game changer for the lighting design community. Please see page 14 for details.

BOOM

HERE COMES THE

Q-Tran revolutionizes its product portfolio with BOOM – a suspended fixture with a unique profile, impressive performance, and endless design options.

Like all superheroes, BOOM has an origin story. In 2019 when Q-Tran was expanding and redesigning their office space, the manufacturer encountered a problem: at the time there weren’t any suspended fixtures in the company’s product portfolio. John Tremaine, founder of Q-Tran, put pencil to paper and started concepting the perfect direct/indirect suspended fixture. Being used throughout the Q-Tran offices and therefore presenting the brand’s take on primary lighting, BOOM needed to make a statement while offering the highest possible quality light output.

What sets this fixture apart from the rest?

As a primary fixture, BOOM’s architectural flared “Y” profile sets it apart in a marketplace currently dominated by rectangles. In addition to its striking silhouette, almost every aspect of BOOM is customizable, affording architects and designers the ability to drastically change its appearance.

With maximum fixture lengths of an impressive 12 feet, this substantial fixture provides a long line of continuous light. Multiple BOOM fixtures can be connected to create configurations including squares, rectangles, crosses, grids, or a line of suspended light.

An array of décor panel options including white, black, bronze, brass and gunmetal are stocked. Three unique end cap styles in matching tones and pops of red, blue or yellow allow the fixture to walk a gamut of design genres from modern to transitional. Custom colors for both décor panels and end caps are available on demand.

Not surprisingly, the performance of Q-Tran’s new offering impresses. Direct and indirect lighting can be individually controlled and offer maximums of 900 lumens up and 1100 lumens down. LED watt per foot options range from 1.5 watt to 9 watt in high efficacy. With 78 LED strips available for either uplight or downlight, an amazing 6,000+ LED mixes are possible.

Representing a step forward for Q-Tran’s offering, BOOM houses two of the company’s feature fixtures: VERS in the downlight and OPTI as the uplight. OPTI’s lenses allow lighting designers to select from photometrics ranging from narrow lines of light to wide washes of illumination.

By integrating Q-Tran's thoughtful product design with LEDs featuring exceptional CRI and R9 results, it's no surprise Q-Tran's architectural fixture seamlessly blends art and light, creating a showstopping addition to any commercial or residential application.

Be seen in the best light.

MAKE YOUR BUILDING WORK FOR YOU How Amerlux Integrates Light, HVAC and Security with One Simple Room Controller Dim the light. Hit the blinds. Increase efficiency. Warm and cool a space, a floor, even a building—automatically, without ever asking.

With Amerlux’s newest IoT-powered sensor, your lighting tells your building automation system (BAS) what to do before you even set foot on the scene: Get ready.

The O3 Sensor—manufactured by sister company Delta Controls—wirelessly detects motion, sound, light and temperature with pinpoint accuracy, right down to the surface of a table—all from a single standalone room sensor.

Ceiling-mounted to maximize functionality from the best vantage point of a space, the O3 Sensor provides a cost-competitive, one-controller-per-room solution that automates comfort as well as productivity, decluttering walls of switches and thermostats.

Equipped with Sensor Fusion technology and seven different sensors, the O3 utilizes machine learning to create personalized spaces. As a result, you take care of your work—while your room takes care of you.

We know, it’s different.

Lighting used to mean just lighting, independent from other building systems.

HVAC did its thing. Lighting and security did another.

Not anymore. Today, everything is connected.

We’re making sure of it—starting with the best in-room sensor, the O3 Sensor, winner of the AHR Expo Innovation Award in building automation.

INTRODUCING THE

By RANDY REID

OFFICERS There is a new organization launching this fall and we wanted to give the LEDucation audience a sneak peek. I met with the officers via Zoom last week and learned of their fascinating plans.

Chip Israel, FIALD, Lighting Design Alliance, and Steven Rosen, FIALD, Available Light, came up with the initial concept, which morphed from a way to honor Barbara Horton and Stephen Lees for their contributions to the lighting industry into an organization which will be called The Business of Light. Chip explained, “We thought the lighting industry should do something to thank them for all their contributions. Initially, we considered an endowment to the Nuckolls Fund in their names, but that usually happens in memoriam when people pass away.”

Chip and Steven discussed how much Barbara and Stephen have given back, not just by mentoring, but in sharing best business practices. That is how the idea was born. Steven said, “We wanted to do something where Barbara and Stephen could see the results and to honor their passion, which is freely giving of their knowledge.”

A group got together at Chip’s house for four days this past summer, hammering out the business plan. This fall, their dream will be launched. The Business of Light will be

14

designing lighting

an educational platform focused on better business acumen. Given that good business practices are universal, BOL’s intent is to be an international community. In addition to engaging experts within the lighting industry, BOL will reach outside the lighting industry to business professionals to educate and support designers.

Chip reminded me that the IALD has a Business Owner’s Forum which happens the first day of the IALD Enlighten Americas conference, but it is only for business owners. The Business of Light will be open to all designers, including people new to the design world. Chip remarked, “99% of us never went to school from a business standpoint. We learned how to draw dots on paper.” A major goal is to create an organization that can help designers be creative and profitable at the same time.

Barbara Horton, FIALD, CLD, retired from HLB Lighting, added, "We believe elevating business knowledge by introducing a wide range of professional consultants skilled in the many aspects of business is an essential part of the tool kit necessary to inspire future leadership. We want to ensure the future of lighting design has strong business practices to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit necessary to achieve successful and satisfying careers."

discussed the importance of lighting designers helping themselves in the industry, explaining, “It’s not just altruistic.

There are a lot of threats out there, and we need to be viable, marketable, saleable, and profitable.” She explained the need to compete effectively with the many disciplines in the industry.

I asked David Ghatan, FIALD, CLD, CM Kling, about working with existing organizations such as IES and IALD. He explained that many BOL board members have served in leadership roles in both organizations. He stated, “We want to be complementary and fill a niche that IES and IALD don’t fill, either because of bandwidth or their charter.” He also mentioned that they have kept IES and IALD abreast of their plans. In fact, BOL will be presenting the half day business workshop at the IALD Enlighten Americas this Fall.

We discussed costs, which are being sorted out now. At this point there are no plans for a membership fee. Some free materials will be available but a tiered paid subscription may be implemented to cover costs. Much will depend on the success of their fundraising.

Carrie passionately explained the importance of maintaining accessibility.

The program must provide an equal ability to participate. She commented, “It can’t

be the haves and have nots, otherwise it will defeat the purpose.” But, there was consensus that participants need to have some skin in the game, thus the consideration of a subscription model.

It is clear to this writer that the focus will be on helping lighting designers lean into understanding best business practices to ensure successful careers.

There is a strong belief in the ecosystem of interdependence within the lighting community, and the program will be open to manufacturer’s reps and even lighting designers that work for manufacturers.

They are deliberately leaving the program wide open as they don’t want to get tangled up in trying to define who is and isn’t a lighting designer. Steven Rosen added, “At the early phase of our development, we see limiting our services to independent lighting designers as being too limiting.”

Both Chip and Carrie discussed the trend of lighting designers leaving employment in large companies and becoming independent. Chip explained, “Our services may reassure designers that they don’t have to work for that manufacturer or electrical engineer.” Carrie added, “We hope to give them the business tools that will lead them to the satisfaction that business ownership can provide.”

Anna Sbokou, FIALD, ASLIght, flipped the

narrative a bit, stating that the platform needs to be so inclusive that the independent lighting designer can benefit from knowledge that manufacturers have. She emphasized the importance of generating a platform that both can share, providing greater benefits for each.

She believes BOL offers a real opportunity to create a different relationship between the manufacturers and designers. Stephen Lees, FIALD, retired from HLB Lighting, went one step further, stating, “The lighting design profession is stronger and has more leverage when designers are equipped with a business mindset.”

Mentorship is important to the new organization, but it won’t be

their first priority. David Ghatan explained that some will receive mentorship out of group education. At this point there are no plans for one-on-one mentorship, like the IES, Silhouette Awards and Light Collective programs. However, they are open to working and cross-promoting mentorship models from other organizations.

Steven Rosen explained that lighting design in general is on a ‘skyrocketing trajectory.’ In my humble opinion, The Business of Light is the next step in the evolution of the lighting design industry. It is exactly what is needed right now. ■

LIGHTING

THE BUSINESS OF Photo credit: mcmillanpazdansmith.com

On February 1st, GE Current, a Daintree company acquired the C&I Lighting Business of Hubbell, and I had the privilege of interviewing the leadership team that day in Greenville, SC. After the interview I spent some time with Andy Miles, Director of Education, Training, and Marketing Programs. The following day I joined Emma Lyne Bruce, Manager, Learning Operations, at the Current Institute in Hendersonville, as I wanted to better understand The Business of Lighting Education.

The Lighting Solutions Center Prior to my visit last month, I had toured the Lighting Solutions Center in Greenville in 2009 and again in 2017. Each time, the facility has shown tremendous progress. The LSC is the centerpiece of their commitment to train, educate and develop solutions as lighting technology continues to evolve.

In 2017, the C&I Lighting Division of Hubbell spent over one million dollars upgrading the LSC to allow for the integration of the latest LED luminaires and controls, as well as adding a large collaborative learning environment, a second classroom, which seats 80, and expanded hands-on application displays. Pre-

COVID, this 25,000 sq ft center would have about 3000 VIPs to attend in-person training.

Andy explained a bit about the expenses.

Typically, several members of a rep firm will make the journey to Greenville, accompanied by a few lighting designers, distributors, contractors and/or end users. The rep will typically pay for the transportation of their guests to Greenville.

But, once they set foot on the ground, Hubbell picks up all local expenses, which normally include hotel, local transportation, training, materials, meals, alcohol, and entertainment. This is not a firm policy, but it does seem to be standard practice among the large training centers in the lighting industry.

I asked Andy about metrics, and he explained that many times they can track orders and specifications to projects that were conceived at the LSC. He did acknowledge that it is impossible to track and quantify all activity. But training and education have been a huge part of the facility since it opened in 2007.

Andy said, “When COVID started, our function changed dramatically, as we moved everything to a digital format, which resulted in a reach over 5 times the number of influencers pre-COVID.” Andy said the increase in engagement was seen across all their communication platforms, greatly increasing their influence beyond only individuals who could be present physically. Prior to COVID a typical in-person event would be 5, 10 or 20 people. But quickly, they were doing multiple webcasts each day with 20 people attending.

“With the pandemic, we created two new platforms: one for our agents and another for the broader market and customer that included both on demand and live content,” Andy explained. He went on to say that they were already developing their online university prior to the pandemic, so the transition to digital was smooth and fast.

While they were one of the first to benefit from digital training, they noticed a trend in mid to late 2021 - training fatigue. After a year of virtual meetings, people were just worn out.

To counteract the weariness, Andy explained,

“We worked hard to ensure our presentations were not the traditional death-by-slideshow experience so common today. We utilize green screen technology, and the product displays we have at the Lighting Solutions Center as part of our presentation to recreate an in-person experience in a remote environment.”

Andy further explained that the new skills developed during the pandemic are useful now as the LSC participates in the product launch process, enabling them to educate their channel partners real-time as the products are being introduced.

Andy also said they are back on track for in-person training and have planned for a normal year in terms of the number of events. The interview ended with Andy explaining that there is no manufacturing at the Greenville facility, but now that they have been acquired by Current, there is a great manufacturing facility just 45 minutes away in Hendersonville, NC. And that was my next stop.

The Institute at Hendersonville Emma Lyne Bruce gave me a tour of the Institute, which is housed in the old Lamplighter building. This historic building has the distinction of being the newest large training center in the lighting industry. It has been totally overhauled in their over-1-milliondollar renovation. I last visited this facility when I was trying to sell GE on the virtues of electronic HID, and I recall a very dark conference room with huge cobra heads attached to the wall, looming large, like some sort of wild beasts mounted above a mantel.

All of that is gone. In fact, Hendersonville no longer produces any HID luminaires. The cobra heads have been replaced by portable carts that are wheeled in and out as needed, allowing for hands-on training tools and product demonstrations. The building is now a specification focused facility, showcasing the latest in lighting design and Daintree controls throughout the building. Functionality was a keyword that Emma Lyne used throughout the tour, saying, “We wanted a beautiful, comfortable and modular space in which you can bring out the carts and panels with the specific product being demonstrated and then put them away when not in use.”

They did a nice job incorporating some of their history into the renovation by keeping an untouched rock wall in the back of the building.

The Forum linear lights are in the shape of two giant letter “L”s, representing the former name

of the building.

During my visit I spoke live to Carla Bukalski, Director of Specifications, who was several hundred miles away.

She pointed out that the Institute was remodeled recently, allowing them to incorporate best practices in meetings technology learned during the pandemic. Carla envisions that a visiting group will be exposed to in-person presenters as well as remote presenters, Photo credit: www.gecurrent.com exponentially increasing their effectiveness and efficiency.

The design is smart in that there are large TV’s in the lobby that allow for a participant to watch if they are not in the main training area. The ADA compliant restroom features 365DisInFx, their on-all-the time UVA product. Each room in the Institute is named for local towns, such

LIGHT ON MOTHERHOOD

WILD and the NLB Shed Some

in the Workplace

By PARKER ALLEN

designing lighting

Starting and raising a family is no easy task, especially when combined with having a career. The majority of the burden falls primarily on women. With this in mind, the National Lighting Bureau recently hosted a panel discussion entitled “WILD: Motherhood in the Workplace.” The discussion, moderated by Kelly Roberts, Studio Director at WALD Studio and President of Women in Lighting + Design (WILD), featured five prominent women (and mothers) in the lighting industry: • • • • •

Helen Diemer, Principal at The Lighting Practice, Inc. Andrea Hartranft, Principal at Hartranft Lighting Design, LLC Tanya Hernandez, Vice President, Government & Industry Relations at Acuity Brands Paula Martinez-Nobles, Principal at Fisher Marantz Stone Nancy Stathes, President of Nanometer Lighting

In the hour-long conversation and subsequent Q&A session, they discussed the many challenges that

working mothers face, such as attrition, maternity policies, childcare, and the financial impact of raising a family.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly a third of all employed women are working mothers. Women are more likely to work part-time due to caretaking concerns than the average worker. They are more likely than the average population to take unpaid time away from work. While many employers are beginning to offer benefits to reduce this burden, not all do. Almost a quarter of working parents (23%) say their commitment to work has been questioned because they have kids, according to the American Association of University Women (AAUW). And, a significant percentage of women have been denied or turned down promotions due to motherhood.

The panelists were invited to first share their experiences as career women with families.

I suspect their stories are representative of most working mothers. Inadequate maternity leave policies, coupled with the financial burden of going without pay, make things very difficult for new mothers. Nancy Stathes stated that she was back at work less than 24 hours after giving birth. Furthermore, in many cases, the employers are men and haven’t given much thought to the challenges that these new mothers face.

As the kids grow up, women are often denied or simply not offered opportunities or promotions. Bosses assume they won’t be interested or won’t have the time or level of commitment needed for a higher role. Tanya Hernandez explained, “I was skipped over for many roles and opportunities because people assumed that I did not want to travel or that I did not want to take a particular role because I had small children at home.”

A common theme in all their stories? The importance of having conversations with employers. Bosses need to know what mothers need and the challenges they face to create effective maternity policies. Until the topic is brought up, nothing can be done to fix it. And, by having these conversations, the foundation is being laid to help future mothers. As Andrea Hartranft explained, “When you ask for things or when you insist that there be a little bit more flexibility, you start to realize you're not just doing it for yourself. You are doing it for all the other women that are looking up to you.”

The discussion then turned to company culture, another recurring theme throughout the hour. Each company is different and presents unique challenges. Small companies offer a more intimate environment for employees, but they often don’t have the resources to be able to adequately take care of their employees. On the other hand, large companies often have rigid structures in place, and it is difficult to work outside of those rules if the situation calls for it.

Regardless of the company structure, understanding and compassionate colleagues can make all the difference. Like many working mothers, when her son was young, Andrea often had to bring him to work with her. Because some of her work was confidential, she couldn’t always bring her son into meetings with her. After one such meeting, she came out to find a coworker had changed her son’s diaper. She described how grateful she was to have such caring colleagues.

Sometimes, it really does take a village.

No conversation on these issues would be complete without discussing everyone’s favorite topic - COVID. The pandemic has

only exacerbated the issues that mothers face, especially with regards to childcare.

Finding reliable and affordable childcare options has become significantly harder.

Hopefully, as the pandemic begins to wane, these issues will resolve themselves.

Finally, they addressed how the industry can continue to improve going forward and make things better for younger generations.

Mentorship, whether formal or informal, is vitally important. Young women need to connect with more experienced women who can explain and guide them through the challenges they will face. They need to see that having a career and raising a family is possible. They need to understand the best ways to go about doing so.

The follow-up Q&A session allowed an opportunity to address some issues that hadn’t been fully digested during the initial conversation. One question that stood out – how to navigate the discrimination you might face by being a mother. How do you not take it personally? As the panelists noted, it is important to stand up for yourself. Be firm and resolute when discussing the issues you face. Unfortunately, you might have to decide which battles are worth fighting. This is where having a mentor, someone who has dealt with these same issues, is crucial.

In order to create change, we must first know that it’s possible. There is no doubt that we still have a long way to go. But, we have seen progress over the past few decades.

Conversations like this one, with successful women who have faced and conquered these challenges, are vital to ensuring that we are moving forward and doing everything possible to take care of working mothers. The success of future generations depends on it. ■

DESIGNING FOR

DARKNESS

By KATE HICKCOX

Photo Credit: Adobe Stock | zhu difeng

What is designing for darkness? There are many overlapping areas of concern when it comes to designing for darkness and LAN. The research conducted in 2019 focused on 26 current organizations that are focused on nighttime or “dark sky” issues. As expected, most organizations were concerned with issues of astronomy, natural character, and energy waste, while others focused more on plant or animal issues. Most of the organizations listed multiple main areas of interest in their literature. From this research, nine main areas of focus were identified that could be categorized into five sub-groups of LAN concerns. These include •

Human health, comfort, and safety

•

Concerns about animals and wildlife

•

Astronomers’ and the military’s concerns about astronomy

•

Energy waste

•

Preservation of natural character (respecting the aesthetics of the natural environment).

These five sub-groups of LAN concerns could then be divided into three major areas of LAN concerns to create a framework for approaching designing for darkness. The three major LAN concerns include sky glow concerns, human-focused concerns, and ecosystem concerns.

While each of these areas has very different stakeholders and design needs, a similar design approach can be adopted in each case. Each of these areas should be addressed using these criteria: •

timing (and duration),

•

directionality,

•

intensity,

•

spectrum.

In 2021, Kate Hickcox created a Designing for Darkness poster that illustrates the interconnections between humans, the ecosystem, and skyglow. The poster gives details about how to

designing lighting

35

approach designing for darkness using the criteria listed above.

If you are designing, specifying, or evaluating a lighting system in an outdoor nighttime environment, you need to ask: •

WHO or WHAT will be experiencing this system?

•

WHY is the light necessary here? Do we really need lighting at all?

The who or what can be a wide variety of end users or end scenarios that should be researched and considered before a lighting solution is reached. Always ask if the specified lighting is necessary, or could it be removed? A good lighting specifier knows when not to specify lighting as well as how to specify quality lighting when it is needed.

DIRECTIONALITY OF THE LIGHTING IS KEY Controlling the spatial distribution of light, including the reduction of direct uplight, is one of the most impactful ways to reduce sky glow at the luminaire level. Shielding is a common technique for reducing the effects of lighting on natural lands and species. Fixtures that allow no light to escape directly up to the sky are important as this can decrease sky glow and reduce attraction from birds or insects above the fixture. Consider these tips: •

Zero direct uplight can greatly reduce sky glow

•

Support wildlife by specifying shielding to prevent direct views of the light source

•

Shielding can also help to reduce glare for humans.

REDUCE INTENSITY OR LIGHT OUTPUT WHENEVER POSSIBLE Regardless of the spectral content, a reduction in light output has a significant effect on sky glow. When designing for ecologically

sensitive installations, even very low lighting (far below that of the full moon) can have large effects on local wildlife and plants. Lighting codes and recommendations are usually written to support human tasks and needs and may therefore be excessive for wildlife and plants. The luminous output recommended for typical applications may be much higher than necessary if you are installing in a rural environment or a natural park.

When designing any outdoor lighting: •

Reduce light output as much as possible

•

Allow for controls such as adaptive dimming or switching.

Timing and output are determined by tasks/needs

•

Less is always better for wildlife and ecology.

IMPORTANCE OF TIMING AND DURATION It would be easy to assume that turning outdoor lighting off during a curfew period could only have a positive impact on the local ecology. However, some species are very sensitive to how and when the lighting changes. Lighting that turns on or off at irregular intervals, or lights that disrupt fixed nighttime patterns, may disrupt the nocturnal behavior of some species. Wildlife and plants are sensitive to changes in both intensity and spectrum during dawn and dusk. When designing for darkness, remember: •

Allow for controls and dimming

•

Timing is species dependent

•

Ask an expert for ecologically sensitive installations.

SPECTRUM CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE Address timing, distribution, and output first; in many cases, these will have the greatest impact.

When considering spectral choices for an installation, remember that correlated color temperature (CCT) does not determine spectrum. Two sources with the same CCT can have very different spectra, and thus different impacts on the environment or on wildlife. Keep in mind that there is no universal spectral solution. Across the range of visible wavelengths, there are advantages and disadvantages in each spectral band, depending on the species or environment. Different installations or tasks may require different spectral selections. One rule that can have a big impact and is relatively easy to enforce is to avoid any ultraviolet spectrum and adjacent short wavelengths, as some wildlife are highly attracted to ultraviolet radiation.

Keep in mind: •

Limit short wavelengths to help reduce sky glow

•

Spectral selection for wildlife and ecology is species dependent. There is no universal solution

•

In ecologically sensitive areas, avoid the ultraviolet spectrum and adjacent short wavelengths

•

For humans, the spectrum is determined by task

•

CCT does not determine spectrum.

Finally, if you are specifying or assessing lighting in a place where nocturnal or diurnal wildlife or ecology is a concern, you should consider working with a trusted ecologist or zoological researcher to quantify the impact or potential

impact of any installation. Just putting lighting at a low light level, using yellow or amber lighting, or adding a dimmer is not enough to say that an installation is ecologically sensitive.

For the same reason that we need an ecologist to help when we are specifying lighting that is sensitive to wildlife and ecology, an educated lighting specifier is needed to determine lighting solutions that satisfy human needs while mitigating negative side effects. ■ The poster artwork and the information included on the following pages were created by Kate Sweater Hickcox.

The information on the poster stems from a research project commissioned by the DesignLights Consortium (DLC) and conducted by Dwaal Lighting Design in 2019. This research included a deep dive into the metrics and practices of dark-sky design. The project started with research and interviews with organizations who were involved in darksky efforts, using or promoting dark-sky guidelines, or working on dark-sky related research projects. It became clear over the course of many interviews and discussions with stakeholders that the term “dark-sky” is fraught with ambiguity, and what falls under the scope of dark-sky is not clearly defined by the lighting industry. This led to a search for a clearer definition and approach for lighting-at-night (LAN) concerns and helped form the basis for the DLC LUNA technical requirements, finalized in 2021, that define performance requirements for LED outdoor lighting products that have both energy efficiency and light pollution mitigation characteristics.

If you are designing, specifying or evaluating a lighting system in an outdoor nighttime environment you need to ask: • WHO or WHAT will be experiencing this system?

• WHY is the light necessary here? Do we really need lighting at all?

GEMINI™ by JLC-TECH – 4” WIDE

LINEAR LIGHTING Centered to the Grid for Suspended Ceiling

No need for complicated ceiling construction or additional ceiling components.

GEMINI – the first and only 4” linear downlight to install just like a cross tee in a suspended ceiling. The GEMINI revolutionizes the installation process to achieve linear lighting on-center with the grid by replacing the actual cross tees. Typical linear downlights require a custom grid opening to be constructed in order to support the fixture. In contrast, the GEMINI is designed with integrated cross-tees that allow for an on-center opening using standard grid and tile components. This unique design simplifies installation and allows for a more cohesive ceiling aesthetic.

Available in two optics and two distinct lens options, the GEMINI provides a low-glare, linear downlight solution while also conserving plenum space.

JLC-Tech was founded in 2010 with one singular vision: to create unique and useful LED lighting fixtures. Our flagship product, the T-BAR LED®, is the manifestation of our mission and dedication.

JLC-Tech designs and manufactures the only patented lighting products that replace the grid in a suspended ceiling system.
