Lighting systems do more than illuminate spaces—they shape how occupants feel, move, and perform within a building. But as lighting controls become more advanced with automation and data-driven capabilities, they can also become more complex—and less intuitive for users.

In a new article for Consulting-Specifying Engineer, Pivotal Lighting Design’s Grant Kightlinger and Seth Ely, along with former Studio Leader Lauri Tredinnick, explore how optimizing lighting control systems can improve usability while delivering meaningful benefits for both occupants and facilities. By applying cognitive walkthroughs, designers can uncover inefficiencies and streamline user interactions, making lighting control systems more user-friendly.

Lighting is no longer just about illumination. As buildings become smarter, modern lighting systems are becoming connected, IoT-enabled platforms that transform how buildings operate.

In their recent EC&M article, ’s Arati Sakhalkar and Samarth Kathare explore the capabilities of connected lighting and how these intelligent ecosystems can be implemented to support a broad range of operational, analytical, and occupant-focused functions. Using sensors, networks, and centralized platforms, these systems can deliver real-time insights and automation that improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance safety and comfort.
