Lighting Design and Engineering

Lighting design is evolving rapidly. Emerging technologies, intelligent systems, and a deeper understanding of light’s impact on human well-being demand that lighting professionals stay at the forefront of innovation. However, academic-level programs that are tailored to working professionals and address intelligent lighting in depth remain scarce. This online learning program is designed to close this gap in lighting design. Whether you are an experienced practitioner or early-career professional, this program offers a unique opportunity to refresh and deepen your knowledge and expertise, explore cutting-edge developments, and contribute to human-centered lighting solutions. Developed in collaboration with the Intelligent Lighting Institute at TU/e, the program combines online flexibility with hands-on, challenge-based learning (CBL) activities.

Apply lighting fundamentals Understand and apply the dual nature of light and distinguish between radiometric and photometric quantities in lighting design. Name light measure tools Select and name appropriate measurement instruments, accounting for sensor sensitivity, calibration and industry norms. Understand integrative lighting strategies Understand the principles of integrative lighting to design future-proof, human-centric lighting environments. Design for both visual and biological impact Create lighting solutions that not only optimize visual performance but also support health and well-being through non-visual effects.

As we launch this program, we invite you to join the pilot edition featuring three foundational module series, offered at a significantly reduced program fee.
