Welcome to the Delivered Lumens Podcast (Intro)

Delivered Lumens

Did you know, the light we live with every day affects everything from how we sleep, to how much we enjoy our food, to whether or not we can see the stars at night?

Most people don’t think about light everyday, but I do. That’s why I started Delivered Lumens, a monthly podcast where I talk to experts including designers, to scientists, to advocates about the power of light and how to make the best light in your life.

My name is JP Bedell. In my career, I’ve been a lighting designer for theatrical productions, live events, extremely high-end homes and global retail chains.

Today, my day job is helping some of the best architectural lighting designers in New York City choose the products that will help them realize their visions.

So what is Delivered Lumens?

Delivered Lumens started as a blog, and newsletter to supplement my in-person efforts.

Then 2020 happened, and all of the sudden it was really important to have ways to communicate digitally. I went all in on producing blog posts, newsletters and videos to help my designers.

One of the neat side effects of us all being forced to work remotely is how many new voices within the industry I got to hear from daily in my social feeds.

The more I watched and participated in the conversation, the more I realized the lighting industry needed to broaden its reach. We do a really good job talking to one another about what light can do,

But we don’t do enough to explain the value of light to people outside of our industry.

This is what brings you to the podcast currently filling your ears. My goal for the Delivered Lumens podcast is simple. Explain the value of light through interviews and discussions with people who move my industry forward. In the coming months, I’ll be hosting conversations about topics like:

What does light mean in the metaverse?

How does artificial light affect our health?

How can darker skies improve the quality of life not only for wildlife but for humans?

And so many more.

I’ll be putting out one full-length episode a month. You can subscribe to this feed for the audio version. You can also subscribe to Delivered Lumens on YouTube for the video podcast, which will include visuals to go along with the discussion.
