Most of us take light for granted. It has become so ubiquitous and cheap to use that we don’t really stop to think about emergencies. Thankfully most buildings are required by law since 1974 to be equipped with emergency lighting that automatically activates during power failures to facilitate our exit.

Disruption is the new norm in the lighting industry. Commercial lighting is now more than illumination as seen by these top five trends for 2019...
An article published in the SPIE journal Optical Engineering, “Arbitrary spectral matching using multi-LED lighting systems,” marks a substantial advance in lighting science and technology. In their paper, the researchers announce a two-pronged approach to both measure and self-adjust the spectral power distributions (SPDs) of LED lighting systems...

Accent on Lighting in Renovated Strip Mall Law Office
Weston Law Chambers, a group of seven independent lawyers purchased five units over two floors in a Woodbridge, Ontario strip mall. Former tenants included a bridal salon — an atypical location for an atypical law firm. The group chose the new location because of its natural light, a stark contrast to its older, darker office.
