Stand inside the lighting system before you specify it.
Illumify built this space to make lighting education tangible — for the design and construction community. It is a working environment — not a showroom — where lighting systems, control platforms, and finish materials are tested, compared, and experienced under real conditions before they are specified into a project.
Seven demonstration zones. Control systems from top-tier integration platforms to contractor-grade and DIY level. A fully finished kitchen lit by six distinct techniques under a single scene.
See the space before you visit it.
Every zone in the Lab demonstrates a different layer of how a lighting system is designed, controlled, and experienced.
The Lab in motion.
Scene transitions and layered lighting are best understood in motion. Watch how a single room transforms as techniques layer in and out.
A space built to facilitate lighting education.
Illumify is a full-service lighting design firm, and the Design Lab & Experience Center is its key differentiator. The Lab was developed to deliver accredited CEU courses tailored to architects and interior designers — and to help the broader design community understand lighting as a coordinated system, spanning from early concept through detailed design and execution.
Design Ownership
A dedicated lighting design team maintains ownership of the design across the full project lifecycle — from concept through commissioning — so intent survives contact with construction.
Fewer RFIs, Fewer Compromises
Continuous design accountability reduces RFIs, limits value-engineering compromises, and preserves the original design intent in the built environment.
Education First
Programming at the Lab is strictly educational and non-promotional. Attendees come to learn, experience the space, and draw their own conclusions — there is no selling.
What you’ll experience in the Lab.
Layered Lighting Techniques
Six distinct techniques running simultaneously in one finished kitchen — luminous ceiling panel, cove indirect, recessed task, under-cabinet, wall sconce, and picture light.
Control Platform Comparison
Lighting control systems across the full spectrum — from top-tier integration platforms to contractor-grade and DIY-level systems — operating side by side, so decisions are made on experience, not literature.
Material Response Verification
Bring your material samples. See exactly what your stone, wood, and fabric selections do under the light that will actually hit them — before construction locks those decisions in.
Color Science in Practice
CRI, R9, and color temperature comparisons under controlled conditions — how finishes actually render under real sources.
Scene & Transition Programming
Experience how a room changes as scenes shift — and what dimming curves, transition timing, and tuning mean for the finished result.
Education & Presentation Space
A dedicated area for CEU courses, technical sessions, and group programming — inside the working environment itself.
Built for everyone who makes lighting decisions.
Architects & Interior Designers
Accredited AIA / IDCEC CEU courses, design-stage verification visits, and material response sessions tailored to design professionals.
Builders, GCs & Electrical Contractors
Technical sessions on commissioning, installation coordination, and the gap between “installed” and “finished” — built for the people who deliver the work.
System Integrators
Hands-on exposure to multi-platform control integration, scene programming, and how lighting design decisions affect integration scope.
Owners, Developers & Investors
Home buyers, developers, and investors make consequential lighting decisions every day. The Lab shows what professional lighting design delivers — before those decisions are locked in.
Real Estate & Property Professionals
Owner’s representatives, real estate professionals, and property managers — education on how lighting quality affects the value, performance, and longevity of the spaces they manage and sell.
Manufacturer Partners
A design-led environment for presenting CEU content through representative networks — creating alignment with the design community earlier in the process.
By appointment.
Visits are by appointment — one-on-one with your project team, or as part of an upcoming CEU course or technical session. Every session is kept intentionally small.
