Course Description

When lighting is right, it’s brilliant. When it’s wrong, there’s little else you can focus on.

Explore the connection between lighting and well-being to learn about practical tools and resources and gain inspiration that supports the lighting design process.

This 1-hour course educates participants on the latest trends in lighting design in the work environment.
