March 24, 2023 The Benefits As energy efficient LED technology has become mainstream, the quantifiable gains from controlling smaller lighting loads may appear to have diminished at first glance. The truth is, while direct energy savings from controls alone represents a smaller portion of savings compared to the savings from LEDs, the use of networked…
Jeff Beare March 7, 2023 Emergency lighting is a critical aspect of building design that aims to provide illumination in the event of a power outage or other emergency situations. The National Building Code of Canada prescribes specific lighting levels and requirements for emergency lighting systems that are an average of 10 lx with not less…
BOSTON (January 23, 2023) Many of the lights sold today are causing major health problems, including obesity, diabetes, and breast cancer. Why? They are blue-enriched LEDs, which play havoc on people’s circadian rhythms during the evening hours. Today the Circadian Light Research Center released the results of a consensus survey of 248 leading scientists, which confirms that human circadian clocks are highly…
Guest post by C. Webster Marsh Maybe you are on a rushed project with barely enough time to finalize the drawings. Perhaps you’re being onboarded years after the project began. Maybe you just have a client who won’t respond to your requests for more information. No matter the reason, a project without an Owner Project…
December 19, 2022 Goal: To upgrade the outdated metal halide lighting illuminating two outdoor parking areas at Bellingham International Airport in Bellingham, WA and deliver improved lighting quality, uniformity, and sustainability while significantly reducing energy usage and maintenance costs Product Installed: 100 SYLVANIA LED Area Lights from LEDVANCE Benefits: SYLVANIA LED Area Lights reduced the airport’s lighting…
November 23, 2022 By Craig DiLouie The DALI Alliance recently extended DALI-2, which standardizes interoperability and control of LED drivers and sensors, with a version that more finely addresses the needs of the Internet of Things, which calls for individual device addressability, connectivity, and two-way data exchange. Called D4i, the standard enables real-time data acquisition for measuring…
Randy Reid of the NLB interviews John Bullough of Mt. Sinai’s Light & Health Research Center. John gives the audience a deep dive on the latest lighting technologies – and regulations – to making driving less lethal.
The DALI Alliance presented two seminars at the recent Lightfair tradeshow in Las Vegas, NV. Materials from both seminars are now available.
As lighting controls become more sophisticated in application and capabilities, properly documenting the system’s intent and settings becomes critical.
Moderated by Michael Colligan, this episode of Get a Grip on Lighting pits two lighting thinkers in a spirited debate over whether 0-10V or digital lighting control has the edge in projects subject to value engineering.
In senior care centers, tunable LED lighting system retrofits can save energy, reduce operating costs, and improve quality of life for occupants when compared to outdated fluorescent systems that are still used in many facilities nationwide.
Intended as a basis for the design and installation of roadway lighting and associated systems, the newly updated ANSI/IES RP-8-21: Lighting Roadway and Parking Facilities is a compilation of numerous previously distinct IES American National Standards.
