This month, we’re spotlighting how integrated Lutron systems helped designer Grace Huh transform a historic home’s most challenging space — a dark, 40-foot kitchen — into its warm, welcoming heart. Tunable Ketra fixtures shift from crisp morning light to candlelit evening glow, while motorized shades protect artwork and reveal lake views on cue. It’s a great example of technology built to enhance a designer’s vision, not compete with it. We’re also featuring Accord Lighting’s redesigned Petra Pendant — a one-of-a-kind fixture pairing natural wood and stone, with exposed sockets reimagined as a design feature.
This week’s Light Connect celebrates lighting with purpose, featuring Graypants’ handcrafted Scraplights collection and its newest additions, Lamella and Sunset, which blend sustainable materials with striking design. We’re also spotlighting the QBIX Architectural Sconce Series from US Architectural Lighting, a versatile exterior fixture that combines pathway illumination with precision façade accent lighting. Plus, we recap our exciting night at the IES Phoenix Illumination Awards—where our office received a 2026 Special Citation Award—and share a helpful tip on simplifying mixed dimming protocols with Lutron Vive.
This week’s Light Connect features two innovative lighting solutions built for real-world projects. QTL’s upgraded SHIELD LED strip delivers specification-grade performance, IP67 protection, and simplified installation for challenging applications, while BK Lighting’s newly redesigned Nite Star offers improved optics, higher output, and greater reliability for outdoor environments. We’re also looking forward to celebrating outstanding projects at the IES Phoenix Illumination Awards Gala and recognizing the latest winners of our AZL Golf Simulator League.
This week’s Light Connect spotlights Tom Dixon, the iconic British design brand known for creating bold, sculptural lighting that transforms interiors into unforgettable spaces. We’re also featuring Lumenwerx’s Aera Reflex, an innovative fixture that combines the flexibility of a downlight and cylinder in one sleek design, delivering precise, low-glare illumination while maintaining a clean ceiling aesthetic for today’s architectural projects.
This week’s Light Connect explores lighting solutions that do more than illuminate. Intra Lighting’s Pyrymyd transforms the ceiling into a design feature by combining glare-free lighting, acoustic performance, and sustainable materials in one innovative system, while Vibia’s Offset Collection uses dynamic color and temperature control to create personalized lighting experiences. We also share practical guidance on choosing the right color temperature and why selecting the right Kelvin early in the design process can dramatically influence the look and feel of a space.
The evolution of Tivoli’s ADAPT is here! ADAPT 2.0 is a commercial-grade, outdoor-rated, low voltage LED strand lighting system featuring 12 all-new shatter-proof designer globes. With factory-molded spacing for consistent quality and flexible mounting options for both suspended and surface applications, ADAPT 2.0 delivers reliable performance with a refined, installation-friendly design.
Solid is a suspension luminaire that combines industrial-inspired robustness with cutting-edge technology and high visual comfort. Its clean and bold design fully integrates the light source and uses darklight optics, offering a CRI above 93 and a UGR below 16, ensuring optimal performance without compromising comfort. Solid stands out for incorporating an innovative gesture-control system: intuitive, contactless, and designed to enhance the user experience. It also allows 360° rotation and the connection of multiple luminaires from a single power point, creating dynamic multi-height compositions with independent control for each unit.
The Skin family of lighting fixtures is aimed to provide flexibility in illuminating most applications. From wall washing to evenly illuminating architectural curves like columns and curved walls, you will find a Skin for any need. Available as Ceiling, Wall and In-ground, with possibility to Surface, Recessed or Semi-Recessed mounting. With multiple beam spreads and an attention to how optical elements interact with the surrounding environment, Skin will draw attention to what matters the most while fully blending into the space.
Join Fleming West at the Arizona Lighting Sales Lux Studio for a focused lunch session on how design-assist steel building solutions give architects a sharper edge—from early cost clarity to smarter structural integration and fewer RFIs in the field. We’ll show how bringing steel expertise in early protects design intent, expands flexibility, and delivers more…
This week’s Light Connect explores how strand lighting has grown up with Adapt 2.0 from Tivoli Lighting — a specification-grade system featuring shatterproof PET globes, long runs, high output, and even Dark Sky–friendly options for responsible outdoor design. We’re also highlighting the Miami Collection from AFX Lighting, a cohesive contemporary family that brings consistent style and selectable CCT flexibility across multiple fixture types. And finally, Gianni shares insights on how AI is beginning to streamline lighting workflows — and why the next evolution will reshape the industry even further.
