The SLL also supports a number of existing lighting education providers, with members contributing to the development of educational courses such as the Lighting Education Trust (LET) Diploma in Lighting Design and the Light and Lighting MSc run by the UCL Bartlett School of Architecture. The Society also delivers its annual LightBytes CPD series.
Along with contributors from the Institute of Lighting Professionals (ILP), the Lighting Industry Association (LIA), the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD), and the Worshipful Company of Lightmongers, the SLL has compiled a list of existing lighting courses.
