the lighting designer.
Lighting design has always been one of those 'is it Art or is it Science' questions - but the truth is that the lighting designer needs the Science to achieve the Art. Its a synergistic relationship, and one that can lead to a beautiful resolution. And as a consequence of that belief, I work closely with my clients and all of the lighting design work is done by me. It's a matter of feeding the imagination.
Having been involved in the lighting industry, as installer - manufacturer - designer for almost forty years (can it be true!), I'm beginning to suspect that I know something about how the game is played.
The lighting industry has been concentrating on the development of low energy light sources for many years, but while that's been going on the environmental argument has been broadening out to include the way that the entire design - production - disposal process is managed, all in the name of SUSTAINABILITY, and that will become the keyword for jb-ld projects in the future.
As a consequence, I've recently become Director of GreenSpec Light an on-line facility providing accreditation and commentary on sustainable practices by lighting manufacturers. We will soon be introducing a lighting directory, which is really exciting as I hope it will separate the real sustainability players from the greenwash merchants.
Sustainable development meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
It wasn't me who said that. That was the World Commission on Environment and Development, back in 1987. And if it was good enough for those guys, that'll do for me. But here's my take on it as far as lighting design is concerned (click here)
You'll find information about me and my lighting design services behind the buttons down the left-hand side. And there are examples of my work (the Project Galleries section) and published articles / blogs that I've written. They're all on the right-hand side.
