Il Portale della Luce

It is called lightingacademy.org and it is the first Digital Magazine on Lighting. It’s different from all the others, but it is still the same e-publication. The format, language and wealth of content are new, but the magazine will remain consistent with the philosophy that earned it the dominant position in the industry. Information is its primary goal. Light and everything that sparkles, lives and feeds on light are its area of expertise.

Who are the new lighting designers making headway on the scene? Why is the sky blue? Who won the last IALD Awards? When were sunglasses invented. What exactly is a LED and how does it work? How do you light a room according to the principles of Feng Shui? What do you have to do and whom do you have to contact to become a lighting designer or lighting engineer? Who was the father of optics? What effect does natural light have on our moods and behavior? What are the main lighting designer associations? Who are the outside figures in the world of light art? And, what about the next event, exhibition, book about light and its myriad declinations?

You can find all the answers, and more at lightingacademy.org. You will also find questions to tickle your mind, stimulate discussions, open new vistas and learn what the enthusiasts are saying. And there are many: as of today the newsletter has about 8 thousand subscribers and more than 150 thousand people visit the site each month. To reach an ever broader readership, starting today La Rivista della Luce - the Digital Magazine on Lighting - will also “speak” Italian, German, French and Spanish, with English as its official language.

The graphics are also changing: more luminous and fascinating, with new menu items and even more space for images and projects. A different approach to news that combines journalistic immediacy with the technical, specialized precision of the contents.

The journal is growing but its “calling” is the same: to inform and educate the public about the Culture of Light, with an open mind, a curious eye, a touch of humor and above all in-depth coverage of scientific progress and specific topics.

None of this will change the passion that has distinguished the journal from the very first issue, the passion that is its basis. It can’t change because it is a passion that was born fully grown and able to spread – it is the Passion for Light.
