The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) recently published a study seeking to compare one-for-one luminaire level lighting control (LLLC) retrofits with a comprehensive networked lighting controls (NLC) redesign.
Consumer UVC germicidal devices are entering the market rapidly because of an increased demand for sanitizing and germicidal capabilities in the face of COVID-19. But are they all safe?
A new study by the Lighting Research Center (LRC) demonstrates that 40 Hz red light stimulation delivered to open eyes of healthy young adults increases brain gamma oscillations.
The rising demand for a strong surveillance system worldwide is likely to boost IR LED market growth over the coming years.
Scientists at the Circadian Light Research Center have identified the narrow band of blue light that synchronizes our circadian rhythms during the day and disrupts them at night.
The U.S. Department of Energy has released the results of a study examining authentication vulnerabilities in connected lighting systems (CLS).
While DMX is an industry standard and a workhorse protocol for dynamic lighting controls that is agnostic to manufacturers, there can be a lot of on-site programming and additional wiring required to be effective.
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.
