Designing a Lighting Control System

11/01/2019 by Lighting Controls Association Leave a Comment

Robert J. Garra Jr., PE of CannonDesign recently contributed an article to CONSULTING-SPECIFYING ENGINEER, in which he makes a case for the importance of emphasizing controls in a quality lighting design, while laying out principles for application.

He writes:

Often described as a blend of art and science, lighting design combines artful application with ever-evolving technology. With that said, a truly successful lighting design also requires a complementary control design that produces the right amount of light where and when it is needed.
