Automaker BMW recently unveiled Light and Charge, an LED streetlight that doubles as a charging station for electric vehicles. Owners of any electric vehicle can charge up with a click on a mobile app. “Light and Charge is a simple and innovative solution which aims to seamlessly integrate a smoothly functioning charging station network into [...]

Equipped with a standard GU5.3 two-pin base, Soraa’s constant current MR16 LED lamp fits into any MR16 luminaire and fully conforms to the ANSI/ IECE compatible form factor. Unlike other MR16 LED lamps, the constant-current LED lamp is designed to accept an external driver which supplies the lamp with low-voltage DC input current, eliminating the [...]

Even as the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics recognizes LEDs as the single most significant and disruptive energy-efficient lighting solution of today, scientists around the world continue to search for a better light bulb. Enter carbon electronics. Scientists from Tohoku University in Japan have developed a new type of energy-efficient flat light source based on [...]

Prudential’s Stream provides a slot lighting option with a “barely there” presence that radiates light seemingly from nowhere. Luminaires can be joined, without seams, for an uninterrupted line of light. No lens. Trimless mud-over flange for a sleek and minimalist fit. Click here to learn more.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Chris Bailey, LC, LEED AP BD+C, DDI, MIES, Director, Lighting Solutions Center, Hubbell Lighting, for an article I’m writing for TED Magazine about how solid-state lighting is impacting luminaire design. I’m happy to share it with you here. DiLouie: How would you characterize demand for LED luminaires in [...]

ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING recently published an article by Alice Liao, whom I had the pleasure of working with back when I ran the magazine, that describes the importance of luminaire optics in capturing the true light and energy savings potential of the LED light source.

Architectural Area Lighting’s (AAL) KicK is an aesthetically distinctive site and area lighting luminaire that angles light upwards yet provides full light cutoff. The pedestrian-scale luminaire is targeted to walkway, path and building entrance applications. The design hides the LEDs when viewed from behind. The optical system delivers 12,880 lumens at 99 lumens/W with 0% [...]
