GVSA Lunch & Learn: LED Lighting Technologies: Performance – Clarity – Comfort
This presentation introduces architects to the fundamentals of modern LED lighting in a clear and practical way. It begins by comparing different ways light can be distributed in a space, showing how certain optics help create more even lighting and reduce the number of fixtures needed.
It then highlights why glare matters in occupant comfort and how good fixture design can minimize visual discomfort. The presentation also explains how glare is measured and what levels are recommended for common environments such as residential, offices and classrooms.
Attendees will learn the basics of color in lighting—how color temperature affects mood and how LEDs create different shades of white that influence the look and feel of interiors. The presentation also touches on how consistent color is maintained across LED products.
