Why You Should Switch Your Lights to LED
September, 2021
Robert Sonneman shares his thoughts on designing with LED lighting :
"With the advances in LED technology, lighting is no longer just an accessory to a designed environment. Rather, the dynamic capabilities of technologically sophisticated lighting within a space impact the emotional, physical, and psychological experience. It impacts the perception, utility, performance, and well-being of people as a synchronous component of a smart controlled environment. These are all crucial to keeping in mind when designing with LEDs."

Robert Sonneman shares his expectations and hopes for architectural lighting in 2021:
"Lighting impacts the visualization, perception, and experience of a built environment. Technology provides the ability to manage the intensity, color, and distribution of illumination from multiple sources. From ideation to planning, lighting technology must now be considered a critical component of design from conception through construction. No longer an afterthought to a built project, the lighting installation and applications are now integral to the building systems and should be considered during the conceptual development of a project."
