The goal of this paper is to give an overview of the lighting design process, with an understanding of the process when working with Light Plan Design. Over the years, we have found that the basic guidelines were evolving to include our personal touch. We have developed a deep understanding of the overall design process, starting with theatrical design studies dating back into the latter half of the last century. We treat each project as if it we were bringing the project to life through lighting.

The goal of this white paper is to examine the benefits and risks of using Germicidal Ultra Violet (GUV) light systems in fighting the transmission of infectious diseases. These systems have been used for over a century in water treatment, air systems, and for disinfecting surfaces. GUV has been most commonly used in hospitals, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and clean room applications. It is a proven technology for disinfection and killing of viruses, bacteria and fungal organisms. GUV is becoming increasingly well known to the general public due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
