Episode 134 - Every Space Has a Story with John Delfino
💡 Every space has a story to tell—and lighting helps tell it.
In this episode of the Lighting Controls Podcast, Ron Kuszmar and Webster Marsh sit down with John Delfino of Available Light to explore how theatrical thinking, lighting controls, and a little bit of “control freak” mentality can transform a space.
🎠John shares how his theatrical background influences the way he thinks about light over time—from subtle fades and dimming curves to creating immersive museum exhibits and completely custom lighting experiences.
We also dig into why great lighting design isn't just about fixtures and layouts. It's about understanding how a space should feel, then using lighting and controls to bring that experience to life.
