David strives for efficiency in lighting, affording architects, lighting designers and engineers the ability to maximize LED lighting design and application. \r\n\r\nDavid is a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles, where he received a Bachelors in history. David also studied lighting design at IES in Los Angeles. He traces his and Alcon Lighting\u2019s commitment to innovation, accountability, quality and value to lessons learned from his father, Mike Hakimi, a lighting craftsman, salesman and consultant in Southern California for more than four decades.\r\n\r\nToday\u2019s lighting for commercial use requires a deep, complete understanding of smart lighting systems and controls. David takes pride in his lighting, energy controls and design knowledge. He is driven by the desire to share his insights into lighting specification and application. This quest to share his knowledge was the impetus for David to create Insights, Alcon Lighting\u2019s blog and resource center for helping the reader understand lighting and its application to space."}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alconlighting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7783"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alconlighting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alconlighting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alconlighting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/102"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alconlighting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7783"}],"version-history":[{"count":37,"href":"https:\/\/www.alconlighting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7783\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8933,"href":"https:\/\/www.alconlighting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7783\/revisions\/8933"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alconlighting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alconlighting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alconlighting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alconlighting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7783"},{"taxonomy":"thb-sponsors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alconlighting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thb-sponsors?post=7783"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alconlighting.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=7783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
