Laboratory Lighting and Lighting Controls Working Group
Industry Lead: Lutron Electronics Co.
Coordinated by: I2SL
Learn about the activities of this working group
As in any critical environment, lighting strategies for laboratories must consider light intensities, reflective surfaces, directional patterns, heat output, proximity to work, access to daylight, user equipment, and glazing and shading systems. Laboratory furniture systems, laboratory module design, lighting technologies, and controls must be well integrated to meet user needs and optimize the performance of each component safely, efficiently, and conveniently. Lutron Electronics Co., a world leader in lighting control systems, invites the laboratory community to join this working group to discuss ways to use the best lighting systems and controls available to improve occupant comfort, safety, and productivity.
Working Group Projects
Working group members are committed to:
- Exploring how designers of laboratory spaces can integrate with furniture system manufacturers to address the challenges for the laboratory environment.
- Creating more options that are advantageous to users for integrating lighting and furniture systems in a laboratory.
Get Involved
The working group invites professionals from all over the world who are committed to improving occupant comfort and safety through lighting and lighting controls. Members are encouraged to contribute their technical expertise and experiences.
