Faces of a Successful Lighting Family Legacy

Merlin Johnson died in May of 2022, and the inspirational impact on his sons’ lives has been profound. He was a Master Mason, AF veteran, master machinist, mechanical/electrical genius, talented lighting designer and founder of Artistic Lighting & Electric. He loved his wife Peggy Jean and encouraged his sons in the art of illumination.

Duane Johnson took over Artistic to become one of the Bay Area’s most experienced and trusted electrical contractors, offering lighting design, lighting control and innovative electrical contracting capabilities.

Glenn Johnson, CEO of Adaptive Design Group, in Utah, provides lighting design for the finest residences and art collections worldwide, wrote The Art of Illumination, and manufactures The Merlin Light, a museum-quality Art Lighting System.

Eric Johnson, principal of EJA Lighting Design, is a nationally award-winning lighting designer, collaborates with world-renown architects and designers, manages projects in the Bay Area, across the U.S and abroad, and has advised many lighting manufacturers and lighting technology companies.

The brothers will forever honor their dad, Merlin Johnson.

Layers of Lighting

Adaptive Design Group’s signature approach—Layers of Lighting—is where artistry meets precision to create breathtaking environments that engage and inspire. When you step into a beautifully designed space, like this stunning pool and hot tub area, lighting is never just one-dimensional. Instead, it’s a carefully crafted blend of multiple layers, each serving a unique purpose while harmonizing to create an immersive experience. So, how many layers of light can you count here?

In architectural lighting design, we recognize eight essential layers that work together to elevate every space:

  • Architecture: Lighting that highlights the structure’s form and unique design elements.

  • Decorative: Fixtures that double as art, adding personality and style.

  • Art: Specialized lighting to showcase paintings, sculptures, or other focal points.

  • Path: Guiding the way safely with subtle illumination along walkways or stairs.

  • Task: Focused lighting for functional activities like reading, cooking, or poolside relaxation.

  • Interior Design: Lighting that complements furniture, fabrics, and finishes.

  • View: Managing natural or scenic views through lighting control and balance.

  • Exterior: Lighting that enhances outdoor features and landscaping.

This poolside setting is a perfect example of how Adaptive Design Group integrates these layers seamlessly. From soft exterior lighting that enhances the natural surroundings, to the carefully placed task lights around seating areas, to the decorative fixtures that add style and mood—every detail is intentional. The result is a captivating space where light feels natural, inviting, and luxurious.

Our collaboration with architects, interior designers, and clients ensures that each layer of light fulfills its role, working in concert rather than competition. From concept to completion, this artistic layering defines the experience, transforming the ordinary into extraordinary.
