See the Light: Projects That Illuminate Products from LIGHTFAIR International

LIGHTFAIR International, the world’s largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade show, took place in New York City last week, featuring over 500 exhibitors in categories presenting their latest innovations on the show floor of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. But these products don’t just exist in exhibitor booths (or against solid-color backdrops): the lighting fixtures actually illuminate real spaces in the real world, and, naturally, many of the lighting brands that exhibited their wares at LIGHTFAIR have been specified in a number of amazing projects in the Architizer project database.

Even if you didn’t make it to the show in New York City, here are several amazing cultural institutions and commercial buildings where you can find these lighting products in situ to get a better sense of just how these illumination solutions can meet your lighting needs.
