How ALW + BIOS Helps Illuminate The Soul

If you've been following lighting news over the spring and summer, you've probably seen how BIOS has opened up partnerships with several lighting manufacturers. In general, I think this a good thing. The reality on most projects is they will be put out to bid, and if only one manufacturer offers BIOS as an option, it's not a "spec locker" but a VE target.

I can't speak to the strategy behind opening up BIOS to sp many lighting manufacturers. Still, I think that in terms of the real-world impact, it is much more likely to see BIOS get specified on projects.

So if so many manufacturers now have access to BIOS technology, why use one manufacturer over another?

ALW is on a mission to help designers create environments that speak to the whole person. Not only do they create beautiful light, but they do so in fantastic form factors. And beyond making beautiful shapes, they can also enhance the acoustic environment.

ALW's mission is to "Illuminate the Soul," and so partnering with BIOS makes sense. Fixtures that are interesting from a design perspective, acoustically and visually quiet and aid in circadian health check all the boxes in creating a lighting solution that's about much more than light.
