The Lighting Controls Podcast, presented by the Lighting Controls Association and financially supported by the National Association of Innovative Lighting Distributors (NAILD), features lighting controls specialists Ron Kuszmar and Webster Marsh. In this podcast, they delve into the complexities and unique challenges of lighting controls in commercial settings.

Webster and Ron, both with theater backgrounds, have taken markedly different paths in the architectural lighting industry. Webster is involved in the pre-bid realm, focusing on designs, specifications, and coordination. Conversely, Ron operates in the post-bid world, handling construction, integration, programming, and ensuring end-user satisfaction. Their combined perspectives provide a comprehensive viewpoint for exploring the topic of lighting controls.
