Colour Outside the Lines: Unconventional Applications for Dynamic Lighting

LDS IES webinar 400

Dec 15, 2020

December 17th 12:00 PM ET

Dynamic lighting unlocks a whole new layer of lighting capability for lighting designers and engineers, but do you know how to use it? What applications is it appropriate for and what can it be used to do? This presentation will explore some innovative ways to use dynamic light and showcase some unconventional examples. Presented by Brent Protzman, PHD and Craig Casey, of Lutron’s building science team, the presentation will explore use case examples, key details on how to think outside the box yourself, as well as how implement the strategies presented yourself.

Webinar participants are eligible for one (1) IES Continuing Education Unit (CEU).
