THE
RESEARCH
Q1. What is your
profession?
Q2. What is the
average power density (W/sq.ft.) used for your open
office projects?
Q3. How often are
high-performance optical standards required for
your office projects - - in other words, using low
ceiling brightness ratios (2:1, 4:1,
8:1)?
Q4. What is the
most important or prevalent reason(s) that you
specify indirect lighting?
Q5. How often do
you specify each type of linear indirect fixture
compared to the other types in the below
list?
Q6. What light
source do you most often specify for suspended
linear indirect fixtures?
Q7. What type of
shielding for the indirect fixture's downlight
component do you specify most often?
Q8. What
percentage of indirect fixtures do you specify with
the following materials?
Q9. When using
indirect lighting, what ceiling uniformity are you
most likely to use as a goal for the
design?
Q10. How often
(for what percentage of projects) do you specify
indirect lighting into these ceiling
heights?
Q11. What are the
primary obstacles that inhibit your specification
of linear suspended indirect fixtures?
Q12. What
fluorescent product do you specify as the main
alternative to linear indirect fixtures?
Q13. On a scale
of 1 to 5, how influential are the following
features with regards to your selection of indirect
lighting products?
Q14. How positive
is your perception of doing business with
manufacturers of indirect fixtures (in terms of
product, service, price, value)?
Q15. How should
linear indirect manufacturers focus their product
development efforts?
Q16: What do you
feel the indirect manufacturers are doing well that
you would like to see them continue development
towards?
Q17: Where do you
feel the indirect lighting manufacturers are
lacking in their efforts, and what could they do to
enhance their product and service more towards your
preference?

Why
do specifiers choose indirect? What are the
barriers to specification? What are specifier
preferences in regards to product features? How do
they view manufacturers? What kinds of projects are
they working on? What are manufacturers doing right
and wrong in their view? Based on the results of a
survey of 3,845 lighting designers, architects and
engineers, the 2004-2005 Indirect Lighting Study
offers leading market intelligence, with 104 pages
of analysis, graphs and tables profiling specifier
use and attitudes toward indirect
lighting.
Here's what
manufacturers are saying about Indirect Lighting
Study:
"I felt that the
questions you asked were very pertinent. Being a
manufacturer, we constantly get bombarded with
product feedback and request for new products. Most
if not all of our product ideas come from the
lighting community so this feedback is extremely
important. Filtering through these requests is
always a challenge which is why your survey helps
to reinforce many requests we get. For example, we
just recently launched the 'twelve' product which
is a linear indirect product that mounts 12" from
the ceiling. It was very interesting to see that
your survey marked low ceiling applications as the
#1 barrier to indirect lighting because we have
been asked to solve this problem for many
years."

 WHAT
YOU GET
14 pages of
analysis examining the responses of lighting
designers, architects and engineers to provide
individual profiles of these three key specifier
markets
71 pages of
tables and graphs that provide detailed numeric and
visual depictions of data from responses to 17
questions about indirect lighting, broken out by
general specifier, lighting designers, architects
and engineers
16 pages of
verbatims in which specifiers tell what
they like, don't like and would like to see from
manufacturers of indirect lighting
products
