18th Annual So. Cal. Student Lighting Competition
The DLF Lesley Wheel Memorial Scholarship Competition
The IES Russel Cole Design Competition
Presented by the DLF & the IES Los Angeles Chapter

The Lesley Wheel Memorial Scholarship encourages students to pursue a career in lighting with a better understanding of how to manipulate light itself.  Students must design and build a functioning fixture that meets a loose set of criteria.  Fixtures are then judged on aesthetics, performance, and clarify of concept.

This year's challenge is to build a functioning bedside reading lamp around a standard LED lamp avaialable at any Home Improvement store.  In addition to an operating fixture, students must prepare marketing materials and specifications for their product for final presentation.
