Laboratories
The visually demanding tasks at the laboratory bench require some of the highest recommended light levels in buildings. But these light levels must be provided from low-glare and shadow-free lighting systems that are still efficient enough to satisfy today's demanding energy codes.
Our indirect/direct fixtures are popular in many public and private laboratory facilities. These fixtures, exemplified by our LC family, provide high efficiency direct light for the task demands in the lab, while also providing the low glare and shadow-free qualities of indirect light. In some applications, this approach is combined with our perimeter and cove systems to further enhance visual comfort with diffuse light that adds to the pleasantness of the environment. Our recessed fixtures provide effective lighting options in spaces where ceiling height is restrictive.

The Western Michigan University Chemistry Building in Kalamazoo utilizes daylighting controls which automatically dim and switch off fixtures when natural light levels allow.
This is your Brain on Lighting
May 5, 2011 by Dr. Robert DavisStimulus – Response. Lighting practitioners work hard at getting the stimulus right to attain a desired response. But what about those responses to lighting that go beyond considerations of task performance? full post
LEDs versus Fluorescent both have their place
May 20, 2011 by Jeremy YonWe've been seeing a rising tide of push-back on LEDs, and Elizabeth Donoff's commentary, It's What You Say and How You Say It, in the April-May 2011 issue of Architectural Lighting has done a great job of explaining why. full post
