There is no doubt that a great lighting design can make us feel better, but can it actually make us physically better?
We use lighting design to make a space function better and enhance the occupant’s experience in that environment.
As technology changes and new science emerges alongside market trends, light’s impact on our health is talked about more than ever before.
What is science, what is hype, and what can we do with what we know so far?
Explore the cutting edge- or healing edge- of light and health in this seminar.
