LIGHTING
esting, but not practical, " explains Langston,
adding that unfortunately many architectural
lighting plans have not changed in over 30
years because they tend to focus on nothing
but in-ceiling downlights.
" One of the beauties of LED is that we
Companies such as DMF Lighting (above), Ketra and Environmental Lights
(below) are able to address a variety of lighting fixture applications. Integrators
must educate themselves on best practices.
6-inch light, use maximum 3,000 lumens
2-inch light, use maximum 500 lumens
So, pulling all the criteria together,
Langston recommends integrators establish
as their baseline lighting fixture for residential
applications:
3-inch aperture
1,000-lumen output
IC-rated housing
round trim
Going Beyond Downlights
" Using only downlights in an entire home
would be like building an entire home using
nothing but two-by-fours. It would be interhave
miniaturized the light source, so we
can hide it. So why do architects continue
to treat light as if it is still an incandescent
light bulb? It makes no sense whatsoever,
and it is embarrassing, " he laments.
" Interior designers hate in-ceiling downlights.
Whenever you see a great photo
shoot in an architectural magazine, the
downlights have been Photoshopped out. "
That is among the reasons why integrators
need to use many types of fixtures in
their designs, including on-wall cylinders
that emit light in multiple directions, linear
tape lights, step lights, surface-mount disc
lights, wall sconces, specialty track lighting
fixtures, and decorative fixtures.
" Most customers have not seen linear tape
lights. We have to show them the options
and opportunities to be able to do things
differently, " Langston says. " And when the integrator
does that, he or she is showing their
value. The electrician is not doing that. "
