Shedding Light on the Basics of Lighting Design - Podcast style

Today, I just want to casually talk about what all goes into lighting design, such as what even is a troffer or a high bay fixture, as well as going into a little bit of detail on controls and how to power up your fixtures. I could literally talk about lighting for hours as there is so much to consider, but in this video, we'll just skim the surface. If you're like me and love audiobooks and podcasts, this is the perfect kind of video to listen to on your drive to/from work. I know I know, this might be the very last thing you want to do after leaving work, to listen to work stuff...
Either way, hope you find this useful!

Hey we have some exciting news! We are partnering up with MEP Guy to launch the most effective REVIT courses for MEP designers and engineers! Check out the Electrical course preview and sign up here: www.mepguy.com/electrical
As a special bonus, we're offering a free download of an Electrical Clearance family that anyone can use to designate a "no fly" zone or clearance zone that must be maintained in front of electrical equipment. Drop it anywhere you need folks to keep clear of zappy things!

Great topic! A few comments:
It's worth mentioning who the IES is and why we use their standards in design.
"Fixture" is an antiquated term and can mean something different (plumbing) depending on your audience. "Luminaire" is the term used in the NEC.
"Daylight Harvesting" isn't used in ASHRAE or IECC language. It's referred to as "Daylight Responsive Control."
The International Building Code also has requirements for emergency lighting. ASME 17.1 does as well.
