Reducing healthcare-associated infections is critically important. A new hybrid lighting system technology, designed to provide both visible white light and disinfecting UV-A (max¼366nm) radiation, was retrofitted into a modern hospital newborn intensive care unit.
When it comes to setting a stage, few technologies make facilities and products shine like energy-efficient, high-performing LED lights and controls.
In 2007, a new headquarters building for the New York Times was completed in midtown Manhattan. State-of-the-art lighting and control equipment were deployed.
Most people associate Alzheimer’s disease with profound memory loss, but it is often the symptoms—sleep disturbances, depression, and agitation—that are a challenge to treat, and can significantly reduce the quality of life for both the affected individual and their family members and caregivers.
A broadening of the role of luminaires and a continued focus on people and energy efficiency are three top commercial lighting trends projected for 2020.
The influx of people into large cities and conurbations is unabated. In 2018 there existed 33 megacities world-wide with a population of more than ten million.
Analysts predict the smart lighting market will grow more than 21% a year between 2018 and 2023. Much of this growth will be driven by wireless installations…
Saving energy is a huge benefit when you use a networked lighting control system. Fixtures can be turned off when not needed.
A little over a decade ago, the introduction of LED lighting seemed to transform commercial lighting overnight. Now we’re seeing it happen again.
The motivation behind this project is to analyze the performance of DC powered LEDs vs AC powered LEDs. The iLLUMA-Drive company has provided their DC-DC converter, the CENSE unit, which will allow a 48V DC programmable power source to be used to run the LEDs.
In August 2019, the University of Oregon published a whitepaper, The Impact of Lighting and Views in the Workplace of the Future…
It’s a bit dramatic, but think of an LED driver as the “heart” of an LED fixture. You want one with the most important specifications and quality level you can get, and you want it to last.
What is a “network”? One definition of “network” (from the Merriam-Webster app on my iPhone) is… “an interconnected or interrelated chain, group, or system.”
With the help of Keith McPherson and his company, Lux Measurement, Harrison Hot Springs is sending its recently replaced streetlights to El Salvador as part of a new program developed alongside the University of the Fraser Valley (UVF).
Competing to thrive requires staying on top of the latest trends so that you can best advise customers. Lighting is fast moving and our resident advanced lighting expert, David Shiller, shares what’s going on with circadian lighting and “no-blue.”
Electronic waste is a huge issue, with Statista estimating nearly 50 million metric tons were generated globally last year alone.* Some of the materials traditionally used in LED lamp and luminaire components contribute to e-waste, and the industry is seeking more sustainable material alternatives.
