Application and Design

Where and how lighting systems are put to work is what applications and design are all about. Lamps, fixtures, controls and their installation must be carefully designed to make the most of the light without wasting it. Among the many considerations for lighting design are energy use, human response, cost, how well the technologies work, and how easy they are to maintain.
The LRC evaluates lighting applications and designs and recommends innovative and appropriate ways to light our spaces.  For example, the:

• DesignWorks program provides cutting-edge lighting design solutions, effectively pairing advanced research with dynamic design concepts.
• Capturing the Daylight Dividend program explores the use of daylighting.
• DELTA program produces illustrated case studies of energy-efficient technologies and applications.
• Solid-State Lighting program improves the use of LEDs.
