A surgical suite troffer is one of those fixtures that looks incredibly simple on the surface but peel back how it's built, what goes into its engineering and fabrication. You'll find a piece of gear that's critical to the functioning of the operating room, with myriad little details under the hood.

Eric Spada of Viscor takes me through the MD1U and educates me not only on the fixture itself but what's important when it comes to surgical lighting. Stay till the end to find the value of green light in surgical suites.

It's a wild time in NY. For the first time in more than a decade, NYC rents are falling. At the same time, suburbs are booming again. If you’re designing or developing multi-family or mixed-use buildings, you’re in a fight to attract tenants. Great lighting can make the difference between a building that attracts residents or not.

From the entrance to the apartment's interior, I've curated a collection of products and lines for you to consider on your next multi-family or mixed-use project.

The HE Williams MX Series is a solid linear slot family in 2” and 4” apertures. With solid build quality, great lead times and competitive pricing, the MX is a strong option. But what the MX really demonstrates is Williams focus on service. Service to the specifier, but also service to the reps, distributors, and contractors along the project path. By making a software-based solution like this, HEW has made it that much easier to make sure what you were expecting is what shows up on-site, with MANY fewer steps.

Too often, we talk about human-centric lighting in (ironically enough) in terms of the technical. How much “circadian blue” are we hitting people’s retinas with at a given hour of the day?

That’s why I love the design of this piece.

In this five minute video, I'll go over Core and Qube's essential features, light up a demo unit, and discuss some of the customizable options.

When dropped ceilings were main design statement, the default mode was the 2x2 and 2x4 troffer. Now that open ceilings and exposed mechanical gear is the trendy aesthetic, we see more suspended lines of light in our spaces, so much so it’s become the default for so many offices, healthcare and hospitality environments. But we can always do better and always create more inspiring environments.
