Lighting Design Lab

Lighting Design Lab is an interactive commercial and industrial lighting facility. Our mission is to help drive adoption of energy-efficient lighting technologies through technical consultation, evaluation, and beginner to advanced adult education and training services. We firmly believe that better prepared customers make more informed decisions.

Business value through knowledge and verification is at the core of everything we do, and our work is made possible by the funding commitments of Seattle City Light and other major northwest electric utilities and conservation partners.  

The Northwest Power and Conservation Council predicts that "more than 1,800 average megawatts of potential savings are available in the commercial sector. Nearly two-thirds (66%) of these potential savings are in lighting systems. New technologies like solid-state lighting (LEDs) and improved lighting fixtures and controls offer added potential savings in both outdoor and indoor lighting."
