The day-to-day battle over value engineering won’t stop tomorrow, but we also won’t be here forever. So, I’ll be talking to anyone who will listen about the value of amazing light.
Great Lighting can change the world.
For years designers have asked for a sub-2” downlight with spec-grade performance. USAI has delivered with The Little Ones.
It’s time to meet Stenos, the impossibly small platform from Luminii. It’s a tiny but powerful downlight and a versatile track system, but it’s so a wholly unique light engine that I think you’re going to fall in love with.
Integration is a trendy buzzword in the industry these days, but the partnership between USAI and Armstrong Ceilings is an example of true integration between two design elements - lighting and ceilings. USAI is America's premier downlighting company and Armstrong is the global leader in ceiling solutions. In this shed demonstration, I walk through the partnership between the two companies, what to look for when specifying and we review some samples.
Structura is now booking virtual tours of their factory. It’s a great way to learn out outstanding exterior products get made.
In this five-minute video, I walk through the different styles of louvers Ecosense offers, along with how they affect wash and graze distributions.
This Thursday, April 8th Modern Forms is presenting live from their showroom! When you register and attend you’ll be entered to win one of their new smart fans.
I rarely get excited about product launches. While I’m always happy to see a factory iterate on an existing product or create something new, a factory rarely launches a product that truly wows me.
ERCO has done that with Eclipse.
I’ll be sending more information in the coming weeks, including links to register for a zoom and a specific time, but in the meantime, please save the date. This is a product demo you will not want to miss.
Lumium has always been beautiful to look at, but now it’s getting some of that Ecosense mojo. Tara and Jayne from Ecosense join me to discuss Lumium 2.0. We ping-ponged between their space at WeWork and the Shed to demonstrate the different aspects of this revamped product line.
Acoustical tile ceilings conjure images of drab corporate interiors. Dull white ceilings with dull grey carpets and beige cubical walls. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Over the last few years, Armstrong Ceilings has partnered with a select few lighting vendors to create cool-looking and easy-to-install lighting solutions. Aron Lighting is one of the factories doing their part to elevate the acoustical tile ceiling and its illumination into something amazing.
In this video, I take you through Insight lighting’s cove and grazing options. It’s a quick 7-minute walkthrough including the interior and exterior cove and grazers as well as a demo of the performance of the quad chip for RGBW.
Over the last few years, quite a few lighting manufacturers have introduced flexible lines of light. So what makes Rubber from Inter-Lux so special? Read and watch to find out.
When our homes have become everything, we can use lighting to trigger good habits. In this piece, we talk about how mixing layers of light can make your “5th room” everything from the home gym to your place to relax at the end of the day.
