Create

Sometimes the tools or methodologies available on the market do not meet the needs of a specific application. Here, we germinate and develop new tools, workflows, and methods necessary for our craft. We collaborate with software engineers and lighting manufacturers to develop these new tools.

Fixture Design

In 1949, Bill Lam started Lam Lighting, a fixture manufacturing company, as a way to test his nascent ideas for fixture design, and to explore new ways to enhance architecture with creative and unique fixture designs. That exploration of what is possible beyond what is currently available continues today with Lam Labs. Through established relationships with numerous manufacturers, we explore new fixture designs and development for both architectural and decorative applications.

Competitions

Our Lam staff has extensive architectural background and experience, and is very familiar with working on competition projects with quick schedules, numerous collaborators and a wide array of product deliverables. We are experts at folding into design teams, adding value and creativity to the process. If your competition team needs rendering support, daylighting concepts, or unique creativity, let’s connect.

Explore

Lam Labs delves into the vast field of light and lighting to bridge the gap between research and practice. Internal research topics, as well as collaborations with the architectural and scientific communities, municipalities and code committees, deepen our collective understanding of light and its many manifestations

Communicate

Using light as a medium, we connect with people, support and nourish our communities, and educate others through the understanding of light and lighting. Workshops, lectures, lighting tours and hands-on experiments are all part of how we engage with the design and educational communities, locally and nationally.
