    • Solar light collection
  • Task ambient lighting
    • Associated institutional issues—how can we lower overall ambient lighting and light for tasks and people rather than space
    • Safety and security lighting
  • Visual performance vs. light output
    • What’s the latest?  Is this resolved or still needs to be resolved?
