I spoke recently to the fantastic Meredith Oke on the Quantium Biology Podcast about how lighting can play such a vital role in our well- being, its not just about illumination! Growing up in our third-generation lighting business, I have seen firsthand how light shapes our daily lives.
In this conversation, we delve into the hidden effects of artificial lighting on our bodies and the importance of designing spaces that align with our natural rhythms. We explore how circadian-friendly lighting, dynamic white systems, and even infrared-emitting LEDs can transform indoor environments, supporting better sleep, energy, and overall well-being.
Our aim is simple: to prove that human-centred lighting design can transform lives.
Willie grew up in the family business, stacking boxes, wiring fittings and making deliveries. He went on to study engineering and then lighting design. After working as a lighting designer in London he returned to lead our design team. You can also find Willie chasing a ball round the rugby pitch, at a gig or threading the boards on stage.
