How Lighting Design Shapes Our Health and Business Success

How lighting design shapes our health is more than an architectural trend—it’s a business advantage. In this episode, lighting designer and educator David Warfel reveals how light influences our sleep, productivity, and mood in both homes and workplaces. He explains how natural light strengthens our circadian rhythm and why better lighting can lead to sharper thinking and higher energy.

David breaks down the science of how we absorb and process light. He shares simple design strategies that boost well-being, even when natural light is limited. Plus, he explains why balanced lighting is not just a luxury but a critical tool for healthier living and working.

Finally, David explores what the future of lighting could look like for those designing spaces. You’ll hear practical takeaways to improve your next project and to elevate your client experience. After listening, you’ll never look at lighting the same way again.
