This may be a simple declaration\, but in practice\, “good lighting” is a challenge to deliver equitably. Thoughtfully designed\, high-quality lighting has long been an indicator of wealth and prosperity. In contrast\, systemically disadvantaged and vulnerable communities\, especially the occupants of public buildings\, are often forced to accept substandard lighting. Light Justice began in 2020 by examining out-door lighting inequities: how lighting in the public realm has been historically used\, both intentionally and inadvertently\, to oppress and marginalize communities of color. These instances clearly demonstrate discriminatory social and environmental injustice. Moving indoors\, equitable light can be understood as well-designed daylighting and electric lighting that work in concert to provide a positive occupant experience. This light is the appropriate intensity\, color and distribution for the facility\, prioritizing people who spend the most time in the space. It is attractive; easily controlled to enable useful variability; supports visual acuity and circadian health; designed and specified to be affordable\, efficient and sustainable; and an investment in occupant satisfaction\, wellbeing\, and productivity.
