Welcome back to the Lighting Controls Podcast! In this powerhouse episode, we’re joined by two industry legends, Gary Meshberg and Harold Jepsen, who dive deep into the evolving world of lighting controls and the groundbreaking new Sequence of Operations Matrix. 🔍 What’s the Matrix? The Sequence of Operations Matrix is a free, editable Excel-based design tool developed by the Lighting Controls Association to simplify and standardize lighting control documentation. It’s built to help designers, engineers, contractors, and commissioning agents clearly communicate lighting control intent—space by space, system by system. 🔥 What’s Inside:
How the Sequence of Operations Matrix simplifies design, boosts efficiency, and bridges the gap between intent and execution
Why lighting controls are often misunderstood—and how to fix that
The story behind the new LCA design tool that’s changing the game
Real talk on code compliance, best practices, and the future of lighting documentation
Whether you're a designer, engineer, contractor, or just lighting-curious, this episode is filled with insights. Connect with Gary: Https://www.linkedin.com/in/garymeshberg/
