I know lead times are tough…but here are 4 factories ready to help.
Somehow, when Beta-Calco launched Rodeo, they launched three products at the same time.
Take two minutes, this walk through of the ALW showroom is worth it.
Luminii just launched a product guide for wet location lighting. It’s a great resource for what to look for outside.
Williams is not only a dynamic manufacturer, but they continue to evolve their product line. There’s a place for Williams on your next project. Watch the video for why.
The ProTools P60 Linear from Whitegoods / Inter-Lux is a platform for creating tons of different lighting effects. The P60 offers nearly any optical option you might need in an architectural linear form factor from soft regressed lines of light to powerful grazers and wall washers. In this video, we get in the shed with the P60, and I demonstrate how gear trays are installed in the housing and just a few of the optical options available through this fantastic platform.
Trov L35 and L50 have gotten a big performance boost, here’s what that means for your specs.
Join me in the shed for a walkthrough of Inter-Lux's cove offering.
ALW has always been an amazing brand, but in this very difficult year, they are also proving to be a great job partner, here are some more reasons to consider them.
The new GDL and ProTools 3” are budget-friendly, solid spec grade performers. In this video, you can watch me demo both the GDL and the Pro-Tools downlights in the shed.
Beta-Calco has launched Starburst and it continues their line of products that take a basic form factor and elevates it to a wow moment in your design.
USAI has launched a new product configurator. It’s a great step in writing faster, simpler specs.
Inverters are a superior solution for emergency lighting most of the time, and yet, they aren’t specified as often as they should be. Stop being afraid of inverters and start specifying them. In this video my colleague Olena and Kyle Keller of Evenlite will take you through Inverters 101
After 18 months of virtual design tools it’s time to see light in person again. There’s no better place than the USAI Showroom in SoHo.
In this shed demo, I take you through the new Trov L30, the simplest and most economical way to create beautiful illuminated cove lighting.
Some projects enhance the architecture, others define it. Even if you regularly work with lighting designers, here are some products that will help you make a statement with your next design.
We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Barrisol into the SDA World of Light.
For years designers have asked for a sub-2” downlight with spec-grade performance. USAI has delivered with The Little Ones.
It’s time to meet Stenos, the impossibly small platform from Luminii. It’s a tiny but powerful downlight and a versatile track system, but it’s so a wholly unique light engine that I think you’re going to fall in love with.
Integration is a trendy buzzword in the industry these days, but the partnership between USAI and Armstrong Ceilings is an example of true integration between two design elements - lighting and ceilings. USAI is America's premier downlighting company and Armstrong is the global leader in ceiling solutions. In this shed demonstration, I walk through the partnership between the two companies, what to look for when specifying and we review some samples.
Structura is now booking virtual tours of their factory. It’s a great way to learn out outstanding exterior products get made.

This Thursday, April 8th Modern Forms is presenting live from their showroom! When you register and attend you’ll be entered to win one of their new smart fans.
I rarely get excited about product launches. While I’m always happy to see a factory iterate on an existing product or create something new, a factory rarely launches a product that truly wows me.
ERCO has done that with Eclipse.
I’ll be sending more information in the coming weeks, including links to register for a zoom and a specific time, but in the meantime, please save the date. This is a product demo you will not want to miss.
Lumium has always been beautiful to look at, but now it’s getting some of that Ecosense mojo. Tara and Jayne from Ecosense join me to discuss Lumium 2.0. We ping-ponged between their space at WeWork and the Shed to demonstrate the different aspects of this revamped product line.
Acoustical tile ceilings conjure images of drab corporate interiors. Dull white ceilings with dull grey carpets and beige cubical walls. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Over the last few years, Armstrong Ceilings has partnered with a select few lighting vendors to create cool-looking and easy-to-install lighting solutions. Aron Lighting is one of the factories doing their part to elevate the acoustical tile ceiling and its illumination into something amazing.
In this video, I take you through Insight lighting’s cove and grazing options. It’s a quick 7-minute walkthrough including the interior and exterior cove and grazers as well as a demo of the performance of the quad chip for RGBW.
