LED Fixtures and the Color Rendering Index (CRI) The Color Rendering Index (CRI) is a numeric scale established by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). The CIE has established procedures and standards to evaluate how well an artificial white light source produces quality light when it is illuminating an object compared to under natural sunlight.…
GEO PLANE TRI-DAcoustic Series The GEO Plane series is an architectural fusion of light and sound. Combined with GEO, PLANE provides specifiers with a creative lighting option to add depth and shape to a space while incorporating high acoustical performance and top-line aesthetics. Pair with unlit PLANE to provide substantial sound dampening for a wide…
Ugly fixtures and ugly light. Why are you waiting to upgrade from fluorescent to linear LED? Nearly a century after fluorescent glass tubes became a practical lighting option, the end of the T5, T8, and T12 versions of fluorescent tubes appears to be one step closer. Governor Tim Waltz of Minnesota recently signed legislation to…

Defining and Understanding Direct and Indirect Light Let us first define these two types of luminaires by their distribution and then discuss each type’s pros and cons. Direct Lighting Direct lighting luminaires are the category of luminaires where the illumination distribution is in a specific direction. Direct lighting distribution provides higher illumination to task areas…

Wall Washer Lighting Removes Shadows and Provides Even Lighting for Enhanced Visibility Wall-washing is a lighting design application in which the lighting practitioner sets a lighting source either in or on the ceiling plain or on the floor at a greater distance from the wall the luminaire(s) is to illuminate. This location of the wall-wash…
