Lighting: Learn From Design Professionals

Advancing Skills: Learning from Professional Designers

Led by certified lighting design professionals, this track delivers advanced technical expertise in architectural and landscape lighting execution tailored specifically for integrators expanding their capabilities beyond traditional technology systems. Custom integrators entering the lighting space face unique challenges—translating design intent into specification decisions, defending fixture choices to discerning clients and trade partners, and executing installations that meet professional design standards. Sessions address critical competencies including recessed and linear fixture analysis, photometric interpretation and application, spatial planning methodologies, renovation project constraints, artwork illumination techniques, and comprehensive landscape lighting design and installation frameworks. Through technical instruction grounded in real-world application, attendees will develop the analytical skills, design vocabulary, and communication strategies required to confidently evaluate fixtures, justify recommendations, and implement lighting solutions that satisfy both aesthetic vision and functional performance requirements across new construction and existing residential environments. This track bridges the gap between technical capability and professional lighting design proficiency.
