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.
President's Message
I want to congratulate the nine members of our Section — Stephen Bernstein, Dan Blitzer, Rachel Gibney, Ilva Dodaj, Craig Bernecker, Eileen Pierce, Yuliya Savelyeva, Leela Shanker, and Elaine Cook — who presented at LEDucation a few weeks ago. Their presentations were quite knowledgeable and very well done. LEDucation was a wonderfully successful event and it was great to see the New York City lighting design community shine so brightly. If you missed our members presentations, they are available HERE on demand. The IESNYC is pleased to be a Presentations Sponsor of LEDucation 2021. More >

IESNYC Is Pleased to be Allied with EIL
Founded in the Spring of 2020, Equity in Lighting's (EIL) goal is to increase the diversity within the lighting community of NYC so it may better reflect the diversity of our country through the tools of outreach, educational events, and industry policy. In partnership with the DLF NY, IALD NY, IES NYC, Parsons Lighting, NACLIQ, and WILD NYC, the EIL has tasked each of their partners to create 3-4 events that focus on diversity within their niche. The goal of these events is to show lighting through different perspectives so that we may become better designers, colleagues, and human beings. Visit equityinlighting.org
2021 Student Lighting Competition
This year's Student Lighting Competition is virtual. The students have worked hard within the unique constraints of the past year to transport us out of our living spaces using materials and light sources common to the home. Our committee has also been hard at work bringing a new virtual gallery of the student work to life. A video announcing the winners will accompany the website launch in the coming weeks. Please stay tuned for details.
