A Lighting Controls Town Hall: The Possibilities and Perils of Wireless Mesh Controls for LLLC, HVAC Integration and Beyond
Tuesday September 16, 2025 9:00am - 10:30am CDT
Light Bites Stage
Lighting controls have undergone numerous evolutions over the past 30 years, from the OG relay panel to early stand-alone occupancy and daylighting sensors, to wired proprietary control networks. Today, we stand at the precipice of a paradigm change with wireless mesh technology. Not only does this technology provide control capabilities previously impossible, it also changes the marketplace landscape through an open systems approach to hardware, greatly reduced reliance on services and interoperable solutions.

This town hall, roundtable style will explore the benefits and capabilities of wireless mesh technology at a level accessible to both business decisionmakers and control experts. Attendees are active participants in this conversation, with spirited discussion of challenges, concerns, real-world outcomes and takeaways to infuse their future work.

Design Storytelling: Communicating the Value of Impactful Lighting Design
Wednesday September 17, 2025 9:00am - 10:00am CDT
Light Bites Stage
Lighting design is not merely selecting fixtures; it’s enhancing an environment, telling a story, and guiding users through the space. When done by professional designers, lighting influences users to interact with the space and evokes an emotional response. Lighting designers can be challenged by prioritizing a human-centric approach and conceptualizing the entire design vision effectively. Unlike most building materials and finishes, lighting designers cannot provide a tangible swatch to architects and owners for consideration and understanding of design strategies. Therefore, communicating the value of lighting design is crucial to gaining buy-in and overcoming preconceived notions from architects and project stakeholders.

Light Reach: A Cultural Shift for Philanthropy in the Lighting Community
Wednesday September 17, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am CDT
Inspiration Station
Light Reach proves that electricity poverty does not have to equate with light poverty.

The model developed by the global solar lighting design initiative Light Reach uses an affordable, replicable and rapidly deployable project model that brings together lighting experts, local users and partners in collaborative design processes. Lit outdoor public spaces support communities’ social, cultural and recreational livelihood, increase well-being and reduce the negative impact of light poverty.

Light Reach is on a mission to advance lighting justice and foster a greater philanthropic culture in our industry: lighting professionals are well-positioned to bring positive social change and facilitate people’s access to light with impactful lighting initiatives that have real short- and long-term personal, educational and economic benefits.

This presentation will include programs in Puerto Rico and Lebanon as case studies and related topics for field research; showcase a path for lighting design activism to empower all with lighting equality; and propose what philanthropy, social engagement and corporate responsibility can look like in the international lighting community.

Having over 40 years of design experience, I was blessed by being mentored by some of the early lighting designer's who openly shared their design principles with me. Working directly under Raymond Grenald and volunteering with names like Leslie Wheel, Howard Brandston, Nancy Clanton, Naomi Miller, Randy Burkett and other luminaires, the speaker will share their tips of the trade. For example, decades before the WELL recommendation of lighting the walls, Ray Grenald would stress the importance of vertical illumination of architectural planes. Likewise, Leslie Wheel would toss out lighting awards is a single scallop occurred on a dropped soffit.

Practical And Profitable Daylight Strategies For Lighting Designers Without Being A Programming Expert
Wednesday September 17, 2025 12:30pm - 1:30pm CDT

This workshop challenges the notion that daylight is irrelevant to lighting design. Contrary to the belief that lighting systems need to be optimized for nighttime conditions, we demonstrate how daylighting can enhance your lighting design, reduce energy consumption, and be profitable in doing so. Participants will engage in intuitive exercises and use daylight metrics to explore the impact of daylight on their lighting designs. This course will empower designers to use their own intuition without being encumbered with complex software. Join us to reconceptualize daylight for lighting design and learn how to profit from it effectively.
