Course Description: This three-hour course will change how designers and their clients perceive light. They will see how lighting can be successfully integrated into a project, providing a versatile and dramatic environment. Participants will learn the four functions of illumination (decorative, task, accent, and ambient) and how to layer them together to create a cohesive, flexible design.

Designers will see how lighting can influence a space positively or negatively. They will also obtain a working knowledge of color temperature to develop better designs and avoid common and sometimes costly mistakes. Also, they will get to know the tools needed for remodel projects and how to prepare clients for the process.
