During a home build, architects create a lighting plan that may look great on paper. The layout seems clean, symmetrical, and functional. Checks all around, right? Not necessarily. Too often, these plans aren’t designed with you in mind, which results in underwhelming and impractical lighting installations.

David Warfel, founding designer of Light Can Help You, presented at the CEDIA Virtual Expo last year on the Nine Deadly Sins of Lighting Layouts that his team sees all the time, and the home lighting designers at Wipliance couldn’t agree more. Below, we highlight five of these lighting mistakes we see most often in Seattle, WA, and surrounding areas. Have you seen these mistakes, too? Read on to find out.

As a passionate home lighting designer serving Scottsdale, AZ, the Wipliance team is excited to explore the latest technology and share their discoveries in this ever-changing industry. To accomplish this, we attend events, seminars, and conferences. As John Wooden so wisely said, “It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.”

We recently attended Lightapalooza, an event that draws integrators, manufacturers, and lighting experts, all sharing their knowledge and the latest innovations. As a front-runner in lighting control and design, we also hosted the Lightapalooza VIP event, a pre-conference gathering of some of the brightest minds in the field. This year, over 100 people attended.

Here, we’ll share some of the new discoveries we encountered, including the latest trends in lighting design and integration.
