Artificial lighting was a crucial physical resource for expanding complex social and economic behavior in Paleolithic groups. Furthermore, the control of fire allowed the development of the first symbolic behavior in deep caves, around 176 ky BP.
It could be argued that we have planned cities and constructed buildings to support human health for millennia.
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.
Pierre Longtin, President of Nyx Hemera, was proud to announce the installation of TLACS-A, the outdoor site control solution that uses a power carrier, in the Bolton Tunnel in Vermont.
As LEDs replace traditional lighting systems, they bring more smart capabilities to everyday lighting. While you might use your smartphone to dim LED lighting at home, researchers have taken this further by tapping into dynamically controlled LEDs to create a simple illumination system for 3D imaging.
While “circadian lighting” varies in definition, it generally refers to design that uses intensity and spectrum of light for a non-visual effect — namely, to support regulation of circadian rhythms.
If your salad greens come from GoodLeaf Community Farms, they probably grew under LEDs. GoodLeaf’s new state-of-the-art 4,000 m2 indoor vertical farm in Guelph, Ontario is fully automated and equipped with the latest LED lighting technology for growing indoors.
Some of the recent blog posts have described different components in Networked Lighting Control (NLC) systems. We’ve talked a lot about the building blocks that are needed to create lighting systems that feature some kind of ability to change colors – either “dim-to-warm,” “tunable-white,” or even “full color-changing (RGB)” type systems.
The Alberta Electrical Association (AEA) held their first virtual Learning Expo this past week, which allowed them to continue their programming safely and bring a sense of normal in the otherwise uncertain times of a global pandemic.
Every day, Canadian companies struggle to reduce their carbon footprint without increasing their bottom line.
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).
