“Home is Where the Light is” shines light on Circadian Rhythm
NASHVILLE, TN – The National Lighting Bureau unveils its latest groundbreaking
initiative with the introduction of the “Home is Where the Light Is: Residential Light Fixture
Program.” In a world where the significance of lighting extends beyond mere functionality, this
innovative panel aims to redefine the way we illuminate our living spaces. As Dr. Mark Rae once
said, “Lighting is not just for vision anymore.” As we spend more time in our homes, the
importance of creating a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing environment becomes
paramount. The Residential Light Fixture Program seeks to revolutionize residential lighting
solutions, emphasizing not only efficiency and practicality but also the transformative power of
light to enhance our overall well-being. Moderated by Randy Reid and Produced by Allison
Anderson, this panel discussion, includes lighting professionals such as Jennifer Brons, Research
Program Director at the Light and Health Research Center (LHRC), Terry McGowan,
representative of the American Lighting Association (ALA), and Eric Jacobson, former President
of ALA and Randy Reid, the NLB’s Executive Director as the moderator.
“Home is Where the Light Is: Residential Light Fixture Program,” not only marks a
significant stride in the realm of residential lighting but also champions the integration of
circadian-effective lighting for improved well-being. Recognizing the pivotal role that light plays
in our daily lives, this program places a special emphasis on circadian-effective lighting
solutions. By incorporating lighting strategies that align with our natural circadian rhythms, the
Residential Light Fixture Program aims to foster environments that not only enhance mood and
productivity but also contribute to better sleep quality. The inclusion of circadian-effective
lighting underscores the Bureau’s commitment to promoting healthier lifestyles, as it
acknowledges the profound impact that well-designed lighting can have on our sleep patterns
and overall health. With a simple touch you can effortlessly control the illumination levels
throughout your home, achieving both stylish and functional lighting for a quality living
experience.
Notably, this may mark Reid’s final appearance as the Executive Director of NLB,
adding a poignant layer to the significance of this panel. Allison Anderson, “It has been an
absolute pleasure to work alongside Randy these past two years for the Let’s Talk About Light
and Health webinar series. I appreciate the opportunity I had to collaborate with Randy and have
learned so much from him. The Light and Health Research Center appreciates the commitment
of interviewing professionals in the field to share light and health topics with various audiences.”
As we draw the curtain on our final Let’s Talk Light & Health series, from the profound
impact of circadian-effective lighting on our well-being to the nuanced perspectives on lighting
trends and design considerations brought forth by Terry McGowan and Eric Jacobson, this
