LIGHTING


A SPOTLIGHT ON TRENDS


Miguel Aguado, Marketing & Technology Manager, and Steve Detmer, Residential Product Manager at Lutron Electronics talk to Tomorrow’s FM about the opportunities for development in the lighting sector in 2021, as the industry works to meet new demands and priorities.


The purpose of the buildings around us has been completely changed. For many, the workplace and the home have now become one, and the role of traditional workplace is set to rapidly evolve in the years to come.


The year 2021 is sure to host some exciting opportunities for development, as the industry works to meet new demands and priorities.


What has the commercial lighting


industry learnt in 2020? Miguel Aguado: The challenges of 2020 have taught us that the way we use our buildings can change rapidly. Offices, hotels and leisure facilities have been most affected by the constant shifting of regulations and with this uncertainty set to continue into the new year, it is no longer possible, or wise, to prescribe a rigid lighting solution.


In 2021, we can expect major investment in solutions that empower and support the ever-changing use of our


buildings, and a pull away from limiting, prescriptive systems that have been detrimental to building managers so far.


Steve Detmer: Within the commercial space, the past year has proven to many employers that a remote working model can be just as effective as an office-based one. So, to warrant continued investment in an office space, facilities managers will need to ensure that their offices offer benefits that employees can’t get from home. Enhancing collaboration, productivity and wellbeing will be the main objectives of workspace design in 2021.


How can lighting technology help


facilitate the return to the office in 2021? Miguel Aguado: The growing demand for this flexibility and adaptability can be met by the adoption of wireless technology. In the return to the office, many employers will be looking to employ temporary partitions or reconfigure space usage to meet social distancing
