Research

At Clanton & Associates, we are committed to asking “Why?” and exploring “What if?”. Our research focuses on improving visibility, visual comfort, energy savings, and protecting human and environmental health for both exterior and interior environments. Our research in evaluating streetlighting for light levels, distribution, glare, and spectrum has revolutionized the way the industry understands how light effects visibility and has led to significant energy savings and reduction in light trespass and sky glow. Our interior lighting research has showed the importance of providing individuals with personalized lighting which greatly increases visibility and user satisfaction while significantly reducing energy use.
