- Electrical Wholesaler Study 2016 Part 2: How Three Major Disruptive Technology Trends Are Affecting the Lighting Industry
Connectivity enables LED lighting to go far beyond illumination and energy savings to offer revolutionary new capabilities and value for occupants, cost reduction, quality lighting, and business process improvement...
Work is now “what we do,” not “a place where we go.” This is how authors of a Deloitte report, “Advanced Workspace Strategies: Enabling Today’s Mobile Workforce” described modern work environments and they couldn’t have said it better...
Considerable energy savings can be achieved with sensor-controlled, bi-level corridor lighting, according to results of a field demonstration led by the Lighting Research Center (LRC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute...

Next time you’re in a museum or art gallery, observe each painting a little more closely. You may notice cracks on the surface of the canvas, especially if the painting is very old...
While the majority of installations today are distributed high voltage (between 110V and 347V), the emergence of solid-state lighting technology has brought into question whether this is the most practical and efficient way to feed future lighting systems...
The stigma behind dealing with contractors has forever been “they are a tough group to build a relationship with” and figuring out the best approach to growing business with them...
Over half of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) struggle to recruit talent and two in five have issues retaining employees, according to new research from Signify...

IEEE Task Force Works on Standard for Light Communications
Kathy Pretz
Soon enough, experts say, we’ll be getting secure, high-speed Internet access from our LED bulbs: in desk lamps, ceiling fixtures, streetlights, and vehicle taillights. The light-communications systems, relying on nanometer waves in the infrared and visible-light portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, are expected to transmit data generated by a microchip fitted into each LED bulb. The system has been coined light fidelity, or Li-Fi, by its inventor, IEEE Fellow Harald Haas.
