Residential Lighting Best Practices Guide – 2024

Residential Lighting Best Practices Guide – 2024

I strongly believe that the “Modern Design Team” must consist of the following professionals, who are also known as the Owner Collaborative.

I have been artistically and technically applying my craft for the Adaptive Design Group’s exclusive clientele nationally and internationally for more than 38 years. It has been a most exhilarating career to be added to exemplary design and build teams and affect our clients’ living environment by adding our trademarked layering process of light with thoughtful dimming controls. The only way to success in the luxury home market is with an engaged, educated client who understands the need for a complete design team, demands professional documentation and specifications, and creates an appropriate budget with the design and build team – all before breaking ground. What a novel idea in the approach to any home!

CEpro June 2022 – Building a Collaborative ‘Tech Team’

Building a Collaborative ‘Tech Team’

Foursome of architect, designer, integrator and lighting design/engineer are the four pillars of successful technology team.

The L.A. Rams may have had the “Fearsome Foursome” back in the 1960s, but today’s modern design team is a “Forceful Foursome” consisting of the architect, designer, integrator and lighting design/engineer.

“This is the modern design team,” says Glenn Merlin Johnson, noted lighting designer and president of Adaptive Design Group, a Park City, Utah-based lighting design and engineering firm. “Obviously, it starts with an architect and an interior designer but it’s critical to round out a cohesive team with the technical team. That starts with lighting design, which means having an electrical engineering specialty firm and then bringing in the integrator to not only handle the lighting control but the rest of the audio, video, surveillance and home network.”

As the lighting category becomes more prevalent among integrators, the ability to provide expertise in lighting design can be a major differentiator. Anybody can load up a ceiling with 400 recessed can lights and onsite arm waving, but the result will be a lack of artistry and professional coordination, and it does a disservice to the homeowner with improper illumination.

In this one-hour FREE CE Pro webinar, attendees will learn the ADAPTIVE Method® of lighting design from noted lighting designer and creator Glenn Merlin Johnson of Adaptive Design Group. Johnson will not only identify his trademarked eight distinct layers of lighting design, but also pinpoint the best way to locate illumination to highlight the architecture and art, as well as the interior and exterior views, and decorative elements of the home. He will also review the need for task and pathway lighting and the critical magic created with integrated lighting controls.

From this webcast, integrators will have a better understanding of lighting design, the thoughtful application of controls, and how it can catapult their lighting business to the next level.
