Most of the professionals who buy the lights where we spend 90% of our lives have little or no formal training in lighting.
They assume that as long as the product is legal for sale it will be fine. The decision between two products comes down to price, availability and energy efficiency ‘lumens per watt’.
And yet, we know a car may have a low fuel consumption on paper and be safe under normal driving conditions. But where, when and how you drive that car will make the world of difference to efficiency, reliability and life time costs. It’s the same for the lights. This series is inspired by conversations with business leaders who have invested in lighting above and beyond ‘ticking the box’ and can see the difference to the bottom line.
