ArchLIGHT Summit

Have you ever wondered how those mysterious .ies files are generated? Or how to compare the performance of one lighting fixture to another?

Photometry in Action is a hands-on workshop exploring luminaire photometry to be delivered using a bench-top goniophotometer fully capable of generating a complete luminaire photometric report, including luminous intensity and spectral data along with a .ies file.

Since many lighting designers have not had an opportunity to actually see the photometric measurement process, but use luminaire photometry in their analyses and designs, this workshop provides an opportunity to better understand the photometric process and the data designers are typically using.

The workshop will feature a “round-robin” rotation of one group of participants working with the bench-top goniophotometer to actually measure a luminaire, while another group is receiving a presentation of the elements of a representative photometric report, essentially covering the “anatomy” of a photometric report.

Luminaire selection criteria, such as luminance recommendations, will also be addressed.

The third portion of the workshop will be to create a full photometric report from the .ies file using photometry processing software. Each group will generate a report for the luminaire they measure and compare it against the luminaire selection criteria as well as the other group's luminaire.

Participants will leave with the photometric file, the .ies file, the photometric report, and access to the goniophotometer software for further exploration following the workshop.

Women in Lighting+Design DFW is excited to have Amy Bonder, CCO at Luminii speak at ArchLIGHT Summit. Ms. Bonder will be speaking about how Brand statements are integral to long term career development. Personal branding is how you tell your authentic story to others which helps bolter confidence and credibility within your industry and sphere of influence. It helps with building trust, driving focus, networking while setting oneself apart from others. A clearly defined brand statement helps you really laser in on your passion and your expertise. It allows you to have a compass to drive choices on: types of projects that you want to design; cultures in a company that suit you; committees that allow you to feed your passion while delivering your expertise. A brand statement that is effectively communicated allows others to truly understand who you are as a career professional. Employers, customers, peers, etc. can identify you with types or work while getting excited about what you have to say. Careerblast.tv said that a personal brand "allows you to promote yourself at work so your audience knows exactly what you stand for. People with strong personal brands are authentic, stand out from the crowd, and are able to deliver their unique set of skills to a company with moxie and confidence".
