What You Need to Know About LED Drivers
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.

Lighting as a Service
Lighting as a Service (LaaS) is an emerging and evolving business model in which the owner pays for light rather than the equipment that delivers it. The owner buys new lighting on a subscription basis over a multi-year term rather than as a significant one-time capital investment.

New Computational Methodologies Enable SSL to Measure and Self-Adjust Based on Conditions
An article published in the SPIE journal Optical Engineering, “Arbitrary spectral matching using multi-LED lighting systems,” marks a substantial advance in lighting science and technology. In their paper, the researchers announce a two-pronged approach to both measure and self-adjust the spectral power distributions (SPDs) of LED lighting systems…
