    Lighting in 3D: How Visualization Is Transforming Design

    Send a text In this episode of Earth‑Centric Lighting, Travis explores the cutting‑edge world of 3D visualization tools and how they’re reshaping the future of lighting design and architecture. From photorealistic renderings to immersive virtual walkthroughs, today’s technology allows designers, homeowners, and architects to see their lighting plan before a single fixture is installed. Travis breaks down why visualization matters—not just for aesthetics, but for mood, productivity, circadian health, and the emotional experience of a space. He shares real‑world examples of how 3D tools help clients understand beam spreads, color temperature, contrast, and the subtle ways light shapes the feeling of a room. Whether you’re a designer, builder, or homeowner planning a remodel, this episode will help you understand how visualization leads to better decisions, fewer surprises, and more intentional design. If you want to see your lighting plan before you build it, TK Lighting Design offers 3D visualization and photorealistic renderings that help you make confident, informed decisions.

    Lighting for Human Health: NASA Scientist Robert Soler on the Future of Biological Lighting

    Send a text In this episode of Earth‑Centric Lighting, Travis sits down with Robert Soler—former NASA Subject Matter Expert in circadian lighting and co‑founder of BIOS Lighting—to explore how light can transform human mental, emotional, and physical well‑being. Soler shares insights from his work developing lighting for astronauts and explains how those same principles now guide BIOS Lighting’s mission to bring biologically meaningful light into homes, workplaces, schools, and healthcare environments. Together, they discuss the science behind circadian entrainment, the biological need for high daytime light levels, and how modern indoor environments often fail to meet those needs. Soler breaks down how the right spectrum and intensity of light can support sleep, mood, alertness, and overall health—echoing research showing that optimized lighting can significantly reduce symptoms associated with PTSD, depression, and bipolar disorder. He also explains how architects, designers, and homeowners can use these insights to create spaces that support human thriving. Whether you’re a designer, builder, wellness professional, or simply someone who wants to feel better in your own home, this conversation reveals how lighting can become one of the most powerful tools for human health. If you want to bring biologically supportive lighting into your home or project, TK Lighting Design can help you integrate circadian‑focused solutions that improve mood, sleep, and daily performance.
