This week’s Light Connect celebrates craftsmanship and performance across every layer of lighting design. TMS Lighting—metal spinning by hand since 1923—is in town showcasing their century-long commitment to durable, beautifully finished fixtures, while JLC-Tech’s T-Bar UP rethinks the ceiling grid with integrated indirect illumination that frees up plenum space and simplifies coordination. We also share insights from a recent tour of B-K Lighting’s U.S. manufacturing facility, highlighting why durability, consistency, and long-term value should always be part of the specification conversation.
