  Another fascinating find at LEDucation, last week, were multiple manufacturers showing dual-bendable, solid silicone light strips. By dual-bendable, I mean it can bend in both dimensions perpendicular to the long linear run of the strip. Typically, bendable light strips were only bendable in one dimension perpendicular to the long linear run. Tivoli’s VAST-EX and [...]

  I rarely cover line extensions but this one was notable, at LEDucation, last week. The open-center, linear Aira pendant line by Current had a significant number of additional options at the show: 90 degree turns wall mounted light bar that connects to the Aira pendants. accent colors for the cross bars that match the [...]

At LEDucation, last week, a number of 3D printed luminaires went way beyond the visible horizontal layers of plastic shaped into simple pendants. Not only were the shapes far more creative, but on some there were none of the expected horizontal lines of plastic filament showing the build up of 3D printed layers. LightArt One [...]
