From the editor...
We are dedicated to one simple thing, and that is Good Lighting.
The real challenge, of course, is how we actually achieve that.
The Light Review is intended for anyone and everyone who has an interest in the business of lighting: in design – specification – supply - installation – and those who make use it . . . which is ALL of us.
You will find technical articles, opinion pieces,
commentary on issues that are concerning our business, as well as connections to the design and manufacturing communities.
The serious side of The Light Review talks about how we can ensure that the lighting that matters to us all can be delivered in the best possible way.
But we also hope that you find TLR a source of fun and entertainment.
