Join us for An Evening of Light with Amerlux and SLS New Jersey on Wednesday, December 9, for an evening of architectural lighting education, a behind-the-scenes factory tour, and holiday fun! Earn up to 3.5 AIA LU | HSW credits while enjoying craft beer, wine, fresh wood-fired pizza, and an ugly sweater contest at the Amerlux Showroom in Oakland, NJ.

Educational Sessions

PART 1: Beyond Lumens: The Four Layers of Light
1.0 AIA LU | HSW — 50 minutes

Explore four essential aspects of lighting: glare, color, the biology of light, and the controls that determine how effectively lighting performs within a building.

PART 2: Performance Grade vs. Commodity Grade
2.5 AIA LU | HSW — 75 minutes

Go behind the scenes on the Amerlux factory floor to discover what separates specification-grade LED luminaires from commodity-grade alternatives. Learn how these products are manufactured, what distinguishes their performance, and how to identify important differences when reviewing submittals.
