In Discussion x Lutron: Smart Lighting and Wellness
Paul Nulty, Jamie Sandy and Waleed Fakousa joined Tarek Jaziri from Lutron to discuss the impact of smart lighting design on overall wellbeing.
Lighting design has a crucial role in influencing not only the design of a space but also the well-being of its occupants. Beyond its functional aspect, lighting design has a significant impact on mood, productivity, and overall health. Smart lighting refers to an advanced lighting system that incorporates technology to enhance control, efficiency, and functionality. However does this definition encompass everything smart lighting is supposed to be? In collaboration with Lutron, identity brought together a panel of experts to discuss the impact of smart lighting and its effects on human beings.
