Daniel Green: Transforming lighting design with AI
What happens when AI starts helping lighting designers think, not just render? 💡
In this conversation on Light Talk, Martin Klaasen and lighting technologist Daniel Green trace Daniel's path into lighting design and the story behind Dusk, his AI tool for lighting professionals. Dusk recently took second place in the Kit – Technology category at the Darc Awards and has been shortlisted for Lux Futurum 2026.
They talk about the balance between what AI can do and the creativity only a designer brings, why privacy matters when you use AI tools on real projects, and the trade-offs between local and cloud-based models. The conversation also covers accessibility and sustainability, and how tools like Dusk can take the friction out of everyday design workflows.
Want to see Dusk in action? In the bonus episode, Daniel gives Martin a hands-on tour of Dusk AI and Lumviewer.
