This CPD looks at the concept of creating and embedding a circular economy in lighting manufacturing. This means exploring and questioning product design approaches with the aim of achieving material preservation, flexibility and modularity in order to increase the useful life of products and use them for multiple applications. This CPD also provides insights on the environmental impacts associated with circular approaches, compared to more conventional linear approaches, and presents case studies of real projects created using circular design strategies. 

This CPD explores the current landscape of applied methodologies for the quantification of environmental impacts associated with lighting equipment. It provides useful information on the similarities and differences of these approaches, how to report impact results and how to read them and use them in projects. It also illustrates the perspectives of different stakeholders in the lighting industry regarding the use of environmental assessment methods, the opportunities that they open and the challenges that the industry still faces. 

A new venture for Stoane Lighting, this CPD covers the background to our application research into the effects of light on your health; most people live and work in insufficient light and whilst awareness grows, it is still not commonly known how much this can compromise our health. A highly technical and inspiring presentation dives into "what is healthy light?", circadian disruptions and putting all our learnings to the test in a brand new product.
