The LHRC Announces Online Lighting Courses for 2026

Light And Health Course 800

With health and wellness among the most-requested topics at many educational sessions in the design community, the Light and Health Research Center (LHRC) – part of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York – has launched two additional certification courses in response to the sessions’ popularity last year.

These two online professional certificate courses are interactive and led by LHRC faculty and staff who are the foremost experts in their fields. Courses begin in September, and registration for the classes is now open.

Dan Frering, the LHRC’s Education Program director noted, “Previous sessions of these courses have been highly rated by participants.” One attendee of last year’s light and health course commented, “This was an excellent course, and the instructors were extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend this to anyone working in the lighting field.”

The 2026 educational programs include:
