Isolite’s new Dual Tech 2.0 exit signs combine LED lighting with photoluminescent materials to increase reliability by eliminating the need for battery backup power.

The Beinecke Library is one of the world’s largest libraries devoted solely to rare books and manuscripts. The library’s new facility provides ambient illumination with little electric lighting and daylight filtered through nearly partially translucent marble walls.

Eaton’s Portfolio 2-inch aperture LED Cylinders are available in round and square configurations for ceiling-, wall- or pendant-mount applications.

Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, Artemide’s Alphabet of Light is a new family of products that offers a “light font,” linear and round luminaire modules that can be combined to form letters, numbers, symbols, and more complex structures, with wall or suspended mounting. Very cool!

LaMar Lighting’s ALN Aluminum Narrow Linear LED luminaire has a narrow footprint of 2 in. width, making it readily adaptable into various configurations.

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been able to induce plants to produce a dim light for about four hours, the result of injecting an enzyme into the plants causing them to glow. They believe this could be a solution to street lighting and possibly even become bright enough to serve as indoor lighting.

Hubbell Lighting’s Remedi™ LED multi-function bed light features four distinct optical compartments to eliminate the need to physically move any portion of the luminaire housing to utilize key lighting functions. This is a radical departure from the traditional solutions and an innovation that allows the healthcare professional to more efficiently accomplish critical patient evaluations, eliminates a potentially hazardous activity over the patient, and reduces the chance of contamination.

A complement to Covert, an adjustable cove lighting solution, Focal Point’s Covert Lite is a compact and cost-effective LED cove light that delivers strong illumination. The low-profile luminaire, with a shallow 2-in. housing height, is suitable for coves ranging from 4 in. to 24 in. in height and mounts in drywall, grid, and industry-leading pre-engineered cove ceiling solutions.
