Danny Streit is a lighting designer in Nashville, TN. With 25 years' experience and a diversified background in architectural lighting and control system design, he has a history of providing innovative lighting solutions for any design application. Danny is Design Principal at DHS Lighting Design, an associate member of the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD), Lighting Certified (LC) through the National Council on Qualifications for the Lighting Professions, member AIA and USGBC, and member and past president of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES). DHS Lighting Design has a proven track record working with architectural and interior design firms, property developers, landscape architects, municipalities and homeowners. "Being a student of lighting and having traveled to places far and near, I've seen it all-great lighting, it-will-do lighting, and lighting that's downright funny when funny wasn't the intent. Listening to architects, designers, engineers, and owners tell their stories and share their frustrations over the past 20 years has led me to this place. The person who's thinking, "There's got to be a better way"-that's the person I like to work with, because there truly is a better way. I'm committed to good lighting design, to our communities and their resources, and to our beautiful dark skies. I'm a design enthusiast, lighting geek, lighting controls specialist, advocate, and can easily be talked into a game of golf. And if you see someone in a restaurant that's looking at the lighting instead of the food, that's me. Come introduce yourself."
