LEDs, like all light sources, lose light over time. The term used to describe this is sometimes referred to as lumen depreciation. In lighting design, understanding the rate of this decline over time can help determine the amount of light available at some point in the future. For a little historical perspective, the rate at…
By PRWEB One of the excuses the lighting industry uses to avoid addressing the harmful effects of blue-enriched LED lights at night is “circadian science is not yet mature.” Now a publication in PNAS from Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital has resolved one of the last remaining contradictions in the science – what color blue is responsible…
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…

The pandemic demonstrated that we don’t know what the future will bring, but we’ve learned to adapt. For example, office spaces changed from rows of individual cubicles occupied on a daily basis to a hybrid layout of shared work desks that accommodates a rotation of employees coming in for a day or two. Just as the spatial needs of many offices changed after the pandemic, so did their lighting needs and energy goals.

The high overlapping nature of various features across multiple mental health disorders suggests the existence of common psychopathology factor(s) (p-factors) that mediate similar phenotypic presentations across distinct but relatable disorders.
In a recent episode of Get a Grip On Lighting Conversation Series, a podcast series that I record with my co-host Ron Kuzmar, we interviewed Norman Russell from NV5. The conversation focused on how lighting controls design has changed and when this change transpired.
The International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA) has released a white paper titled “Far UV-C Radiation: Current State-of Knowledge,” which is a scientific review of Far UV-C technology and the state of the art research featuring key conclusions made through analysis of published literature and collation of expert knowledge.
This new Lighting Measurement (LM) standard, developed by subject matter experts from IES and the International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA), provides guidance for the measurement of UV-emitting LEDs, normally available in the form of an LED package, array, or module.
This briefing summarizes the current state of knowledge about how the widespread and growing use of artificial light at night interacts with six key topics…
