Lighting is much more than just a Fixture | UNIFRM UNIFRM May 3·3 min read

It is so lovely to have this blog. Let me introduce myself, my team, our ideas, and our vision. This blog was created with one thought in mind — to show the world that lighting is so much more than just a fixture. We want to show that lighting is not something that you choose at the end of the house building; it is not something that just illuminates spaces. Light is like oxygen, it has an enormous impact on human emotions and perceptions, and this blog is about that. We want you to understand that proper lighting can make life so much more comfortable and enjoyable.

So let me introduce myself

Hi! I am Modestas, and I do live in Lithuania. I have my Master’s degree in civil engineering that I really enjoyed. After that, my career was full of surprises, but one parameter was relatively stable. It was lighting. I started my career as an energy savings engineer, where I worked with many different building systems like heating, ventilation, and, of course, lighting. That was where my love for light started.

Later I joined a lighting solutions company, which was producing industrial lighting. It was the company where I got all my knowledge about light and its importance. There is that thing about industrial lighting — it is all about effectiveness and practical usage. It helped me understand how important light is and its significant impact on human productivity and health.

Right there, I decided to create this blog and share everything I know about lighting with you.

What does have lighting to do with oxygen

Imagine that one day there is no more sun. That one thing that we take for granted every morning. Our biggest, hottest, and the brightest light source is gone. Would it be difficult — right? Not to mention all the catastrophic effects on the planet, we wouldn’t even be able to see anything around us. Maybe the darkness is good for sleep, but not so good for a human being’s productivity, psychology, and health.

We take light for granted, just like we do with oxygen. The truth is — that without light, we couldn’t survive. There would be lots of chaos in the world without light. It is vital for our perceptions, for our energy, for our focus, for our comfort.

Our mission and our vision

We created this blog for every person, willing to add some light to their home, for every lighting designer, keen to get some fresh, different ideas, for every electrician, ready to look more profound to the power of light, for every fan of light, willing to step forward in this field.

Our primary mission — to spread knowledge about lighting design and technologies. We want people to see and understand how light works, its effects, and how to choose proper light for your home, office, yard, or any other space. And we are doing that with our vision — to show how essential and how unique lighting can be when you look at it from another angle.

And that is how our name has been born. Uniformity is one of the key parameters when talking about lighting design (especially industrial lighting). It is strictly described in various regulations. But then again, uniform lighting can be looked at from a very different angle. And so we did look at it from a different angle — we called our blog — UNIFRM.
