ERCO Eclipse - March 23rd

How to Light for Wellness with ALW (Video)
I’m really proud of this one. Most of my daily videos this month have been quick hits on a few products. I admit, this one is a little bit longer than our normal shed videos, but I think it’s worth the time. Wellness is definitely an industry buzzword these days and many manufacturers have jumped in especially with the growing prominence of the WELL Building Standard.
All that said, no manufacturer has gone through more effort to embrace wellness through their products and information than ALW. With a dedicated landing page on their website, extensive information on their cut sheets, and amazing product design, ALW has created a suite of products that’s ready to meet WELL by means of glare control, circadian lighting, and acoustical sound dampening.
In this session, Cory Tysoe takes me through that offering with information, examples, and concepts.
