An evaluation of the energy and economic performance of LED horticultural luminaires compared with high-pressure sodium (HPS) and metal halide (MH) horticultural luminaires has found that the LEDs cannot replace HPS luminaires on a one-for-one basis while still maintaining the original photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD)…
Part 1 in this 3-part series provided an overview of lighting for industrial workplaces, plus two major reasons why lighting matters. Having considered both the role of lighting in the workplace and its contribution to capital costs and overheads, here are nine factors to consider in the selection process…

By isolating and investigating the “period” gene of the fruit fly, they were able to prove the existence of the “inner clock,” which controls the circadian rhythm of humans, animals and plants…
There has been a lot of discussion around the office lately about the relationship between energy management and power management. While sometimes used interchangeably, the distinction made between these two disciplines typically involves analysis of power distribution systems for energy cost saving (energy management) or for improvement of electrical reliability or availability (power management)…
