Las Vegas

ILLUMINATING OUR EXPERIENCES WITH HUMAN-CENTRIC LIGHTING | LUXURY⁠

Hosted by Private Technology Group and Lutron | Ketra⁠

⁠



Tuesday, May 21 | 5:30 PM⁠

Private Technology Group & AV Gallery

9420 Del Webb Blvd. Las Vegas 89134

⁠

Did someone say wine-tasting? To get the party started, PTG will pour a selection of Caymus wines for our

tasting pleasure...yum!⁠

⁠

Course Description⁠

(1 CEU ASID & AIA Approved | HSW)⁠

Human-centric lighting is an oft-discussed design term, yet there is confusion about what it is and how to use new (and existing) technologies to achieve it. This course helps professionals understand 1) how to define human-centric lighting, 2) what benefits it can provide to people, buildings, and businesses, and 3) how to practically apply it when designing projects. ⁠

⁠

It also addresses the intersection between electric light and natural daylight and how achieving a human-centric design requires an integrated approach to those two disciplines. This course will be especially useful to interior architects, interior designers, and lighting designers. (1 CEU | HSW)⁠

⁠

While at the gallery and showroom, enjoy a truly unique experience. Explore Lutron's Ketra lighting solutions in an artist-approved set-up, showcasing curated artwork in a new and spectacular light. Enhance the experience with the Bang and Olufsen home theater or enjoy Meridian SE speakers in their listening room. ⁠

⁠

***As another special treat, if you're a coffee lover, you'll appreciate their state-of-the-art coffee system that takes the coffee experience to a whole new level. ⁠

⁠

We look forward to seeing you there!
