Lighting Certification and Why It Matters
Lighting is the single most important element in the visual environment. Effective lighting improves productivity and strengthens security. A well-designed lighting system reduces energy, maintenance, and potential liability costs. Both public and private interests are served by more effective lighting and reduced operating costs. Rapid improvements in lighting systems and equipment offer potential solutions, yet they have also made lighting practice more complex.
As the lighting industry has grown, a number of efforts have been undertaken to differentiate the knowledgeable and qualified lighting practitioner. As a result, a need was recognized for an independent, industry-wide credentialing effort. Such a program addresses multiple issues that include: safety, health, productivity, energy conservation and effectiveness, environmental concerns, governmental policy, lighting technology, and competent, knowledgeable lighting practice.
Lighting Certification is designed to set a baseline standard covering the entire scope of the vast lighting field. Utilizing the NCQLP’s testing mechanism, qualified individuals can earn their Lighting Certification designation.
The benefits of working with someone who is Lighting Certified is evident. Individuals who are LC Certified have above average knowledge to help you with your next lighting project and ensure that you’re getting the most efficient and effective lighting system.
Mara Klammrodt, Dan Emond, and Jeff Fitch from the FLUX Lighting team are all certified LC’s by the NCQLP. For your next project, get the best advice by working with individuals who are LC Certified – it will make a difference!
