Key Elements
The 3 Phases

Light Right will perform research that extends beyond visual performance to address neglected issues of aesthetics and psychological processes and capture the full importance of lighting. Scientific tools and research models from disciplines such as psychology, human factors, ergonomics and econometrics will be used. Using the most recent progress of these disciplines we can apply new ways of thinking to the complex challenge of studying Ergonomic Lighting.

 

The cost of labor is
exponentially more than
the cost of energy.

The members of the Light Right Consortium know that is takes more than research to change the market. Rather than wait for final research results before beginning to address applications and market place issues, market transformation elements are included in the project from the very beginning. A feedback loop between research and market transformation tasks ensures that both aspects of the project benefit from each other.

 

Light Right is committed to collaboration. By pooling talent, capabilities and resources, research dollars go further and produce objective results with broad buy-in.

  • A diverse membership from the lighting and buildings industries, government agencies and non-profit organizations provides direction and input.

  • A team of researchers with varying specialties will agree on scientific methodologies before performing the work.

  • Lighting specifiers will be involved to ensure that "real world" lighting conditions are measured and that the results are geared towards useful application.

 

The Light Right Consortium is a national effort with a diverse membership from both the private and public sectors. Industry and taxpayers will benefit from a project that:

  • PROTECTS THE ENVIRONMENT: Using efficient equipment in new and existing buildings saves energy, preventing pollution and conserving resources.

  • IMPROVES THE ECONOMY: Increased sales of lighting equipment will occur, as well as new jobs to design and install lighting systems.

  • HELPS PEOPLE: Employees will have an improved workplace and business owners will realize a financial benefit with Ergonomic Lighting.



Light Right seeks to accomplish the
dual objectives of improving
the economy AND the environment
