More masterclasses

There are still four chances to attend, at Birmingham (25 January), Dublin (22 February), Huddersfield/M62 (15 March) and Bristol (19 April).

The theme this year is “New technology, new legislation, new opportunities”, reflecting both the challenges thrown up by legislation as the new Building Regulations and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the new opportunities this opens up because cheap and cheerful lighting equipment will not meet the efficiency levels required.

But there are other opportunities, in schools, hospitals and elsewhere, where the benefits of good lighting are beginning at last to be appreciated.

For the bargain price of just £30 plus VAT you get six presentations on the theme plus a view from a well known guest lighting designer.
