Message From The Editor
When performance steps back and beauty steps up
It happens sometimes that we have an opportunity to shift our focus from technical performance and admire instead the results of technological prowess combined with design expertise. In this issue we present peer-reviewed projects. Lighting is definitely no longer a matter of just lightbulbs. Design aside, more and more discussions about lighting revolve around its effects on health and well-being. An interview and a conference report on these topics in this issue. Good reading!
