Back with Lighting Design & Specification
Almost a year has gone by since my last issue of Lighting Design & Specification. First I would like to thank my colleague Blake Marchand for taking over as interim editor and express my great pleasure of being back. In this issue, we will have a glance at what has been happening in the lighting world over the past few months. As for me, I have been travelling and we all know that when lighting is in us, we see it everywhere, always ready to be amazed by new lighting designs ... or not. More in the next edition on upcoming trends in lighting. I look forward to hearing from you, please feel free to contact me about your projects, ideas, comments, new products and more. Enjoy! |

The first have continued the torrid pace of 2021. The second have has been more varied and, in some cases, more challenging. Read More... |
