This webinar provides a practical, easy-to-understand approach to lighting design that empowers participants to plan and implement lighting with confidence.

Attendees will learn how to calculate and plan effective lighting layouts by understanding key concepts such as lumens, footcandles, color temperature, and proper fixture placement. The session will explore layered lighting strategies—ambient, task, and accent—and demonstrate how to apply them to real-world spaces, including kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas, to enhance usability, comfort, and visual appeal.

The webinar also addresses common lighting design challenges, offering guidance on how to identify and troubleshoot issues such as over- or under-lighting, glare, unwanted shadows, and uneven illumination. By the end of the session, participants will have practical tools and strategies to create balanced, high-performing lighting designs that support both aesthetics and everyday living.
