Welcome to the New York City Section of the Illuminating Engineering Society
We are a volunteer professional membership organization comprised of individuals who share a mutual appreciation for and fascination with all things lighting. We are dedicated to promoting both the art and science of illumination to our members, to other professional organizations, to the industry, and to the public through inspiring events, informative programs, educational series, and great networking opportunities.
Become an IESNYC Sponsor
This year’s campaign—Stay Illuminated—reflects our commitment to educate and inspire current and future lighting professionals. Brett Andersen and Christine Hope of Focus Lighting are two of our Section’s bright lights and have graciously accepted the call to be our 2021 Campaign Spokespersons. The IESNYC is offering Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Studio Sponsorships at reduced pricing due to the economic impact of the pandemic. Join Brett and Christine and become a 2021 Sponsor of the IESNYC so we can continue working together towards a more brilliant and beautiful tomorrow. Learn More >
President's Message
This year has been a year of learning how to constantly adapt. That also applies to our Section’s work and we have discovered new ways to do so. Our board meetings have moved to Zoom, and our programs have moved to a virtual format—with great success, especially since they can accommodate so many people from near and far.
We celebrated the 6th Annual Moonlighting, and if you missed it, you can view it here and see this year’s talented artists as well as all who participated since 2015. Moonlighting is a joint effort of the IESNYC, DLFNY, and the IALD-NYC and is an event where we all come together to celebrate our creative New York City lighting community. More >
