Session B4: A Look at Landscape Lighting - the critical elements to understand

Landscape lighting is both an art and a science. This presentation introduces attendees to all the elements we need to consider for designing a landscape lighting system. Within many approaches, we always need to consider safety and security. Landscape lighting can produce both through an aesthetic design. There is always a fine line that disrupts the enjoyment of landscape lighting when glare, luminous cohesion, and, brightness balance are not considered. Jan will present the basics on both sides of the spectrum to give you the range of concerns landscape lighting needs to provide a successful night scene.

Session A4: The Right Time

Explore the looming death of the beloved dimmer and celebrate the future of controls.


We all love dimmers…but once upon a time we all loved our landlines too. Every scientific and technological advance of the last twenty years is leading in one direction: the death of large panelized systems. Fortunately, there is no need to panic, as the future is well under control.  David will take you through the cold hard logic of the dimmer’s rise and fall and look outside of the integration industry for clues to where controls are headed. Along the way, you’ll pick up new ways to talk about controls with your customers and even some ideas for setting the perfect scene in your projects.


Perfect for anyone who still thinks panelized lighting has a future or those who want to look towards the future of lighting control, and those who want to gain new controls sales strategies.
