Thank you all for coming today and taking time out of your schedules.
I’m ___________ the ___________ at __________.
We all recognize that lighting is going to be an important part of your
project(s), and typically any technology conversation only covers the
basic dimming of these fixtures via a lighting control system. Let’s
take a step back and explore the more basic question “Why does
quality light matter?”, “Why should you invest in quality light?”
Light is everywhere, Light is expected, Light is taken for granted….but
it doesn’t have to be.
Over 90 percent of residential projects do not have a lighting
designer on the project. It is typically an architect drawing circles on a
Reflected Ceiling Plan and handing that over to the Electrical
contractor.
Most often the client is going to end up with Static White lighting at a
warm white color temperature, like what you see here.
As you can see, it’s a nice warm light, the color’s look good, and there
is plenty of light to see by, but now I’d like you to imagine you’re
sitting down to a nice dinner or unwinding after a long day, you’re
going to want to dim the lights.
You’ll notice that instead of a candle-light like atmosphere you would
imagine, the light has stayed at the same color temperature, which
isn’t what people expect from traditional incandescent sources.
However, when using USAI’s warm glow dimming technology, you
have another option.
I’ll switch back to the static white version now.
And now back to the warm glow. If you had an option between the
two which would you pick?
