As one of the keynote speakers at the Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition in China held in June 2023, we are delighted to present Kevan Shaw's presentation on "Lighting for Health and Wellbeing" with our VLDC audience.
“We’ve leapt into this idea that changing the colour appearance and intensity of light over the course of the day will always be beneficial. My thinking on this is that for many ,if not all, architectural applications we may only be creating a theatrical effect and apparent impacts become merely phycological.” — Kevan Shaw
