In this episode, Dr. Anne Berends speaks with Mike Krames about how lighting has evolved from a simple utility into a foundational technology shaping modern life.
With decades of experience in semiconductors and LED innovation, Mike offers a unique perspective on how lighting moved from the lab into global infrastructure, and what may have been lost along the way.As our environments become more energy-efficient and digitally driven, the conversation explores how lighting design has prioritized performance and cost, often overlooking human experience.
Together, they discuss how the next generation of lighting may move beyond efficiency alone, integrating new approaches that support comfort, perception, and potentially even well-being.
