Developed by Lou Bedocs, Lighting Applications Director, the PEC methodology states that three factors influence quality in a lighting installation: performance, efficiency and comfort (PEC).

• Performance – provide the best visual effectiveness
• Efficiency – minimise the use of energy, CO² emissions and waste
• Comfort – give people satisfaction and stimulation

The relative importance of these attributes varies between application areas, but all need to be addressed, together with architectural integration, to improve the quality of life.

PEC provides the framework for Thorn to deliver efficient and reliable lighting concepts and customer driven services contributing to a healthy and comfortable environment. The products that Thorn produces also embody the PEC spirit.
