For way too long, site, area, and roadway calculations focused on performance, light levels, and uniformity. Pole spacing has been a top consideration, propelling optical design to new heights, but also pushing luminous density in higher angles, promoting the use of glarier products, and driving light levels up to an excessive and unnecessary amount.
It is critical to put the consumer at the center of the discussion, says new report that sets out a measured response plan the industry can use to fast-track solutions.
The first quarter of 2021 was an “interesting” challenge for those selling lighting and, at the end of the quarter, industry performance was projected to meet industry predictions made during the fourth quarter of 2020.

The majority of building power distribution systems use alternating current (AC) sourced from a power grid. This significantly influences the design of direct current (DC) appliances including LED light sources and digital controls.
UV-C light is a key component to sterilizing workspaces and equipments. UV-C light kills viruses and bacteria, and has been proven to kill coronaviruses like SARS and MERS. As of June 2020, it is being used all around the globe for this very purpose.
